Will President Obama Endorse Hillary Clinton Soon?

So speculates the DailyNewsBin:

"President Obama clearly wants to endorse Hillary Clinton right now, so the two of them can move forward with the fight against Donald Trump and the republicans. But because Sanders has won a few meaningless small states in a row that he was always expected to win, his camp is falsely claiming it has “momentum” right now. It’s given false hope to his supporters, and prevented many of them from grabbing a calculator long enough to figure out that Sanders is duping them; in reality he was effectively eliminated from the race weeks ago."

Sanders is certainly duping them. He has no chance to win as his campaign is acknowledging by claiming that this is going to a brokered convention.

"Bernie Sanders’ campaign is claiming momentum ahead of Saturday’s Wyoming caucuses by releasing lists of pledged delegates and publicly announced superdelegates."

"Campaign manager Jeff Weaver said they believe neither Democratic candidate will reach a majority when primary voting concludes in June."

"The Vermont senator's pledged delegate total now stands at 1,086, according to the campaign. The campaign also reported the names of 38 superdelegates supporting the Vermont senator."

"According to POLITICO’s delegate tracking, Hillary Clinton has a total of 1,749 pledged and unpledged delegates."

So we're supposed to believe that she can't win 33 percent of the remaining of the 1955 delegates remaining? The one thing I don't buy for a moment is that the super delegates are in any significant numbers bum rush to Bernie.

1. He's not a Democrat.

2. He mocks Democrats as being the Establishment

3. He raises no money for them as he mocks them.

DailyNewsBin argues Obama endorses Hillary formally after she wins NY. Whether or not this is true, POTUS is clearly over The Bern.
"President Obama on Thursday warned Democrats against adopting a “Tea Party mentality” that could lead to deep divisions within the party and harm its chances of winning national elections."

"Following the rise of the Tea Party and Donald Trump, Obama said infighting within the Republican Party is much worse than it is on the Democratic side."

"But he urged his party’s voters to be mindful of that danger in the midst of a heated primary battle between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders."

“The thing Democrats have to guard against is going in the direction that the Republicans are much further along on, and that is this sense 'we are just going to get our way, and if we don’t, then we’ll cannibalize our own, kick them out and try again,' ” he said at a town-hall meeting with law students in Chicago.

In that scenario, Democrats could “stake out positions so extreme, they alienate the broad public,” Obama added. “I don’t see that being where the Democrats go, but it’s always something we have to pay attention to.”

"The president did not name Clinton or Sanders. But he offered a staunch defense of his incrementalist view of politics, which has sometimes come under fire from the Vermont senator."

"That’s how change generally happens,” he said, citing the example of his signature healthcare law.

“It’s not perfect. There is no public option, not single-payer,” he said. “If I was designing a system from scratch, it would have been more elegant. But that’s not what was possible in our democracy."

It's clear who he sees as representing the Tea Party mentality. The Berners who also wanted to primary him in 2008.
