Well, Bernie, the supposed candidate of the people, did endorse her, no? At the same time, Ron Paul refused to endorse Trump.

I'm not sure I understand your point. Are you saying that Bernie endorsing Hillary is proof that there aren't conflicting views within the Democratic party? Are you saying that Ron endorsing Trump would've been equal to Bernie supporting Hillary? Qualifications and platform doesn't factor in? Here's an example of GOP acting as a herd and DNC acting on policy: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/daily-202/2017/04/11/daily-202-reflexive-partisanship-drives-polling-lurch-on-syria-strikes/58ec27d4e9b69b3a72331e6e/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/paloma/daily-2...

  >Are you saying that Bernie endorsing Hillary is proof that there aren't conflicting views within the Democratic party? It is a proof that that the Democrats knows where their real opponents are, and that is in the Republican party. >Are you saying that Ron endorsing Trump would've been equal to Bernie supporting Hillary? Pretty much, yes. Both have a non-mainstream and dedicated following. Both were screwed by their respective parties when they tried to get the nomination. >Qualifications and platform doesn't factor in? I'm not sure what do you mean by that, unless you are trying to imply that Ron Paul has a serious ideological foundation deriving from the Mises Institute and based largely on Murray Rothbard's 20th century interpretation of classical liberalism upon which the United States were founded in the 18th century, while Bernie Sanders is pushing USA towards the fate of USSR and other similar implementations of socialist ideas that always end in a disaster. >Here's an example of GOP acting as a herd and DNC acting on policy: I knew it's war-related even before I clicked the link. Unfortunately, the same doesn't apply in other areas.
