I have always been pretty confident that Bernie Sanders would eventually come around and endorse Hillary Clinton. He definitely has no interest in seeing Donald Trump become President. But he had every right to keep on fighting for his positions and using his pretty extensive leverage to effect Hillary's position right up until the final bell. And he has done that and done that successfully. During the campaign, he certainly moved Hillary more to the left than would have otherwise occurred. On Wednesday, Hillary basically adopted his plan for free college tuition and the two have apparently agreed on the terms for Bernie's speech at the convention. In addition, there are rumors that Sanders also got Hillary to commit to a "public option" addition to Obamacare which was another important policy that he ran on. So it really is no surprise that he is now scheduled to endorse her early next week at a rally in New Hampshire. Despite the worries of some pundits and Democrats, you knew this day would have to come.
