“Hillary Clinton will make an outstanding president and I am proud to stand with her here today,” Sanders said Tuesday at a rally in New Hampshire.
This is a full-throated and unequivocal Clinton endorsement from Bernie Sanders. No hedging or tiptoeing around it.

Green Party candidate Jill Stein was not pleased with the Sanders endorsement, calling Hillary “a faithful servant of the top 1%.”

Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, meanwhile, accused Sanders of “selling out.”
Bernie Sanders, who has lost most of his leverage, has totally sold out to Crooked Hillary Clinton. He will endorse her today – fans angry!

I am somewhat surprised that Bernie Sanders was not true to himself and his supporters. They are not happy that he is selling out!

Clinton’s campaign moved quickly to cash in on the announcement.
