Some campaign aides urging Bernie to quit after Tuesday

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

Bernie has the right to be heard and his issues thrashed out at the Convention. But he will do his long-term brand no good by trying to push this 'contested convention' BS any further.

I've never hated him, ever. But his strategy, which includes misleading his supporters and his campaign lying to them, has made me lose respect. A strong endorsement would absolutely restore that support.

I find it really strange that despite losing (and having still done well) that all the responsibility for reconciliation rests with Hillary. In 2008 Bill and Hillary were expected to do their part, and their endorsements and the rejection of the PUMA faction beyond insisting for catharsis was key to healing the wounds. Bernie's supporters deserve to be heard and the respected, but he also has a responsibility to urge unity and a positive endorsement of Hillary, not just a "she's better than Trump" speech.

So, Bernie getting 'nothing' would be silly and damaging, but he's not in the position to DEMAND anything more than a fair hearing and the representation on the DNC committee that he received.
