Bernie Sanders just earned a very rare endorsement from The Nation. Since its founding in 1865, The Nation has only endorsed two political candidates for president: Jesse Jackson in 1988 and Barack Obama in 2008. A third name is now being added to that list: Bernie Sanders.This is exactly what Hillary didn't want to happened. She assumed she could win the Democratic nomination without having to turn off those in the middle who'll she need to beat the Republican she'll run against. Now she has to express some really far left liberal plans or risk being beat by Sanders (flash back to 2008). Once she puts those far left plans and promises out there, they'll be used against her in the presidential election. She won't be able to say she's a moderate Democrat, Sanders is taking that away from her. She has no choice but to now go wacko and promise pie in the sky to all the libtards. Pass the popcorn.
While the endorsement has been in the works since December, The Nation's announcement comes during a particularly good week for the Vermont senator. On Tuesday, a Monmouth University poll found Sanders significantly narrowing Hillary Clinton's lead in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Earlier this week, Sanders also earned the endorsement of another major liberal player: MoveOn.org, a grassroots organization boasting 8 million members. "MoveOn members are feeling the Bern. We will mobilize aggressively to add our collective people power to the growing movement behind the Sanders campaign, starting with a focus on voter turnout in Iowa and New Hampshire," the organization wrote.
