[@sw9618]

georgemiser Actually then DNC was never going to through its support behind Sanders bc Sanders was and is an Independent. He was never a Democrat. The DNC had no loyalty to Sanders and didn't owe him a thing. The Democratic Party voted for Hillary Clinton by a nice majority over those who voted for Sanders. It was very clear the Party wanted Clinton as its Pres. nominee.
