Did Bernie Sanders betray his supporters? Is he a hypocrite
now for supporting Hillary Clinton, a proven dishonest politician? Here
are my thoughts.
While I did not support Bernie Sanders, I
did find his honesty refreshing. He told you exactly what he was and what
he was about. That is why so many people found it easy to support him.
But is he a hypocrite? No, I thought he was at first for supporting
Hillary, but he gave his word to support Hillary Clinton if she was to get the
nomination. He was true to his word. But he knew he was forced out.
Sanders knew he was being pushed out by the corrupt forces in his own
party, but he kept his word to maintain his integrity and his honor. As
such he fall on his sword.
Final Thought: I feel bad for Bernie Sanders.
He did not deserve this, and I cannot imagine how much pain mentally he
had to go through to support Clinton. However he did it and what's done
is done. Hillary is the nominee and aspects of his promises will be done
in Hillary's presidency assuming she manages to win with yet another scandal
hanging over her head. I may not agree with what Bernie Sanders thinks
politically, but at the end of the day you have no choice but to respect
him. (Note: He did get a private jet from the DNC though).
