Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Obama is more of a corporate democrat than a progressive or liberal. He tries to stay sort of in the center. I'm not sure an indorsement would help the dems or not.

That's the same thing I told my daughter. It's a damned shame centrist are called liberals now 
@freeofgod Still, I'd take someone like Obama over the current WH occupant in a NY minute.
If Bernie is strong, the Bernie camp has nothing to worry about it. When Obama was running, attempts were made by Hillary campaign and some by the Bernie campaign in 2008. But Obama was caching fire wherever he went. He was unstoppable. I have heard this whining from Bernie supporters often. One time it was the DNC, another it was the Hillary campaign, sometimes it was the media..... If Bernie is strong, he should focus on winning and he will win. But he is not strong and he is not winning.

Bernie is not strong. But he does have the most donors, has raised the most money, and is holding the largest campaign rallies.
He is in the best position to hit that elephant.

Bernie had all that in 2016 but he faltered. He started at #1 6 months ago and he is sliding again. You have inflated expectations of Bernie. Money and supporters don't make presidents in the U.S. The candidate must be a good messenger himself. Bernie has a good message but he is a bad messenger and is pitching it badly.
@St-Sinner Bernie "faltered" because of super delegates. Not because he isn't a good messenger. He is a very good messenger. That's why many of his policies are now in the mainstream.
@RoboGraham A failure has a thousand excuses and success hides a thousand errors. A win is a win. Who are going to blame when Bernie falters this time? It is not just highly likely but it is certain.
@St-Sinner Who are you planning to vote for?
@RoboGraham
I am leaning towards Warren but I am observing. I like Trump's immigration action a lot. Today, the detention camps are empty. No immigrants at the border. If it comes to a schmuck Democrat, I will vote for Trump.
It would be horrible if Obama decides to oppose Bernie.

It would indeed be horrible, but maybe it would finally make it crystal clear that Obama does not, and never did, represent progressive values.
Exactly. Many people, like me, discovered that fact too late.
@AnonySchmoose Same here. He has really shown his true colors. I should have realized it when he bailed out the banks and failed to deliver on single payer healthcare when his party had a super majority.
Yes ... it is what I thought at the time as well.
@AnonySchmoose
Me too.
