Bernie Sanders ‘Will Campaign For Mrs. Hillary Clinton,’ Says His Brother Larry Sanders [View all]
https://heatst.com/uk/bernie-sanders-even-his-brother-admits-its-time-to-concede/Well, so he says, but notice how he says it.
Bernie Sanders’ brother, Larry, has admitted to Heat Street what his younger sibling will not: Hillary Clinton is likely to be the next president of the United States.
After an extraordinary campaign during which Bernie has raised more than $200 million from individual donors and inspired legions of young voters to take an interest in politics, this member of the Sanders family is prepared to acknowledge publicly that the game is up as far as the Democratic Party nomination is concerned.
“I think he’s made it quite plain: he will campaign against Trump and therefore for Mrs Clinton,” says Larry, speaking from his home in Oxford, England. “And he will continue his campaign for an equal society.”
Why won’t Bernard say this in public? Why is he fighting on?

They're asking my question. The answer is a bit too "cutesy" for me, I'm afraid.
And what does "continue his campaign for an equal society" mean ... as if we don't ALL want the same thing?
Still, Larry sounds a tad more reasonable than Bernie's other advisers.
