Yeah Sanders' seat is the safest option. And one quick way to unite the party is to put Bernie on the ticket. Watch the BernieBros squirm. At least that part would be comical.

Did anyone see the Washington Post/ABC News poll that came out last week?
It look terrible for Hilary. Only 35% of Americans think that the FBI made the right decision on Hilary's e-mails. 31% of Democrats think Hilary should have been indicted. No doubt I'll get called a Trump supporting Fascist for point thing out.
e.g.
Q: Do you approve or disapprove of Comey's recommendation that Clinton should NOT be charged with a crime? (See full wording below)
Approve 35%
Disapprove 56%
No opinion 9%
and:
Q: Has the outcome of this issue made you more likely to support Clinton for president, less likely, or won't it make any difference in your vote? (Results among registered voters)
More 8%
Less 30%
No difference 60%
No opinion 2%

Yeah, it really looks terrible.
She went from a 10 point lead to a 13 point lead as a result of how terrible it is for her. Looks real bad.

Washington Post is about as pro-Clinton as it gets and even they are subtly warning you not take the election for granted. So Rueters has her up? Great. 3 points is within the margin of error of a lot polls.

It's been a while coming, and not unexpected at this point.
Now let's hope she at least gives him some position in her administration so he can continue the progressive agenda he's been fighting for. bold edit

I'm sure she's made platform concessions to him, which I'm sure is better than some position in her administration. He could probably do more in the Senate than in her administration.
Republicans scare the fuck out of me, so I'm firmly on "not the Republicans' side.

He sold us out to a crook in high heels, can't blame him though. He salvaged himself and sold some of his causes to HRC, not a bad repair job. When you look at in the national aspects of the election, it was all he could do. At least he did not have support Trump, that would be a painful speech to give, then he puts the gun to his mouth and pulls the trigger.

There was no selling out on his part. He did what most of us knew he was going to do eventually if he loses the primary election.

Even so, he was still strong armed into supporting her. He had to in order show the dems and voters that he was willing to align himself with the party. He could of given the finger and still fought on.
