It's a fine line to walk, trying to transition a large portion of his staff and volunteers to work on the side of the political machine that beat him without drawing attention away from Clinton. The Democrats also desperately need to transition much of the Clinton campaign staff into long term workers dedicated to developing new candidates and winning back the deep red state legislatures.

The candidate that defeated him by the rules.
That's a great story.

I like Sanders for what he stands.
This country would be truly ahead if he was the candidate instead of the dregs we are left to deal with.
What does bother me are those who are hailing the scrapings of the bottom of the barrel, in a true Candidian blind ethos, as the best we could ever have.
Tout est pour le mieux dans le meilleur des mondes possibles
Especially the pathetically devoted Clinton faithful, at least Republicans do not have much illusions about Trump...

But I should get points for consistency!

Had Assange released the Hillary speeches
before the primaries, we might be looking at a totally different matchup. He didn't so we're left with what we have.

I think that people were imagining a lot worse content in those speeches than what came out. Like eveything else being leaked there are no bombshells only some firecrackers.

I'd still prefer to have seen a Bernie vs. Donald matchup.

Well some helpful hints for the next "Independent" that decides to run as a Democrat (and he "never" would have defeated her no matter what. And it wasn't even close despite the writer saying that he nearly accomplished it).
1. BE a Democrat. Being a Democrat is meaningful to people. What Bernie did was like deciding to paint his skin black overnight and then running for Martin Luther King. The people that stopped him. That blocked him. That would have never switched to him regardless what a speech Hillary gave said, does not trust what they perceive to be disloyal.
2. STAY a Democrat. That's just working outside of what actually works. When these independent minded Millennials, who's always won trophies and were pushed and prodded by their mothers, discover that their mama's can't help them win in politics, they'll be a part of the team that can get it done. Team Democrats. Or just keep losing.

You still don't get it.
Most of us are fed up with your"join or die" attitude. Me especially.
Any respectable Republican candidate who wasn't Donald Trump would be the next President. She could have chosen no better a chump than Trump. She's lucky. That's not to say she isn't qualified, she's eminently qualified but she's just more of the same.
Bernie would have been not that, and if this asshol e had released what he had at at a time it would have mattered, you today my friend might be out campaigning for a Socialist Jew from Vermont for President.
