“Hillary heard the passion of the people, the people behind Bernie and brought those passions into the party’s platform, and that is the process of democracy at its very best”, the amusing woman, 45, continued. I am proud to be a part of Bernie’s movement and a vital part of that movement, and a vital part of that movement is making absolutely sure Hillary Clinton is the next president of the United States. Sanders, who conceded to Clinton earlier this month, spoke later in the evening. Well, if not, it should be, and there certainly was ample opportunity for it on the first day of the Democratic national convention. Bernie Sanders around to support soon-to-be-nominee Hillary Clinton.
Former Saturday Night Live player and actor (Minnesota) Sen. After extended cheers and applause that greeted his entrance on the stage, Sanders thanked supporters and outlined the vision for a better country he championed on the campaign trail. “On behalf of everyone at the DNC, we want to offer a deep and honest apology to Senator Sanders, his supporters, and the entire Democratic Party for the inexcusable remarks made over email”, the DNC said in a statement”. Democratic Committee Chairman Debbie Wasserman Schultz resigned in the aftermath, and loud demonstrations took place both in and outside the arena. And Bernie has already succeeded in so many ways.

“It is no secret that Hillary Clinton and I disagree on a number of issues”.
