“He risks throwing it all away if he doesn’t quickly endorse Hillary Clinton”, Manley said.
Sanders did not endorse Clinton during an online speech to his supporters, but made it clear he was shifting his focus to building a grassroots movement to fight for his liberal policy agenda and transform the Democratic Party. In San Antonio, he was the only thing selling. Warren is relishing her role as attack dog against Donald Trump.
Clinton and her backers have offered olive branches to Sanders’ impassioned voters after the bitter primary.
Their greatest leverage, attendees said, is that Clinton would need them in a close race against Trump.
The Democratic primary was supposed to be a breeze for Clinton, the former secretary of state.
Sanders earned millions of votes, but his continued refusal to concede risks squandering that leverage if he’s increasingly seen as a 2016 spoiler.
The protracted campaign produced some ugly side effects. “And Washington state spoke a long time ago and we want Bernie”. Carlos Uresti of San Antonio told delegates. “We want to show them that there’s something serious going on here and we wouldn’t just be risking getting arrested or anything else for no reason”.

In the meantime, the impact of the Sanders campaign is still being felt.
He said that while the party is committed to maintaining opportunities for voters to talk with their neighbors about issues that they care about, they will form a subcommittee to explore a different process to officially allocate delegates.
The rhetoric drove Clinton supporter Niko Battle to tears.
“It’s preemptive. I say that the national convention hasn’t even been ended – or – hasn’t begun, and so to say something to go against the process, it negates the process all together”, said Gwartney told KING 5.
And in the end, party leaders are confident that Trump’s bombast will be the ultimate tonic.
It has been five months of unpredictable twists and turns within the Republican and Democratic parties that has ultimately resulted in a race for the White House between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
Daniel Brown, a Sanders delegate from Bellingham, turned his back on Merkley.
Pointing to the mogul’s move to block the release of his video testimony in the Trump University case, Warren said, “Poor little Donald is shaking in his high-priced Italian loafers, begging the court to protect him”.
