Talk about burying the lead, he sure picked the morning it will have the least impact:
"Bernie Sanders on Friday said he will cast his vote for Hillary Clinton in November. But he’s not all the way with her — at least, not yet."
“Yes,” the Vermont senator said when asked on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” if he would vote for the former secretary of state this fall. “I think the issue right here is I’m gonna do everything I can to defeat Donald Trump.”
"Sanders told “CBS This Morning” that his campaign and Clinton’s have been communicating and working closely together, but he hasn’t endorsed her “because I haven’t heard her say the things that I think need to be said.”
"He suggested Clinton would need to advocate for tuition-free college, a $15 minimum wage and health care for all, among other things, to secure his endorsement."
“I would love her to say that, and I would love her to move forward aggressively to make that happen,” Sanders said, adding that he doesn’t know when or if he’ll endorse the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee but “would hope” it would happen before the convention.

Not endorsing her, though he will vote for her, though he 'would hope' he'll endorse her before the convention.
Bernie on the impact of Brexit:
"Donald Trump is not gonna win, and he’s not gonna win because the American people will not elect somebody who is a bigot,” Sanders said. “And I would hope that Secretary Clinton begins to understand that she has gotta stand up and take on the big money interests, whose greed is doing so much harm to our country, and make it clear to those low-income people, those working people, that she is on their side.”
"Pressed later in the same CNN interview on how confident he is that Clinton can defeat Trump, Sanders remarked, “I think everything being equal, she should be able to beat him because he is a very, very flawed candidate.”

Obama's response to Brexit:
"In the months leading up to the United Kingdom's referendum on its European Union membership, President Barack Obama urged Britons to think carefully about the choice ahead of them. Leaving the EU would move the U.K. to the "back of the queue" on trade deals, he warned in April, and cast doubt upon the post-World War II global institutions."
"But on Friday, after British voters stunned the world by voting for "Leave," Obama declared that Brexit will not affect the "special relationship" after all, even as his transatlantic partner, the humiliated British Prime Minister David Cameron, tendered his resignation and the political future of Geroge Osborne, his Tory successor and chancellor of the exchequer, looked uncertain. Meanwhile, "Leave" supporter Boris Johnson, a colorful upper-crust Conservative who has drawn comparisons to Donald Trump in rhetoric and in appearance, emerged as the leading candidate to take Cameron's place."
"The people of the United Kingdom have spoken, and we respect their decision," Obama said. "The special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom is enduring, and the United Kingdom’s membership in NATO remains a vital cornerstone of U.S. foreign, security, and economic policy."
"America's relationship with the EU will also remain unchanged, Obama said, noting that it "has done so much to promote stability, stimulate economic growth, and foster the spread of democratic values and ideals across the continent and beyond."
"The United Kingdom and the European Union will remain indispensable partners of the United States even as they begin negotiating their ongoing relationship to ensure continued stability, security, and prosperity for Europe, Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the world," Obama said.

Hillary's response:
"Declaring the aftermath of Brexit a "time of uncertainty," Hillary Clinton on Friday said the United Kingdom's decision to exit the European Union raises the stakes for the November election against Donald Trump."
"This time of uncertainty only underscores the need for calm, steady, experienced leadership in the White House to protect Americans' pocketbooks and livelihoods, to support our friends and allies, to stand up to our adversaries, and to defend our interests," the presumptive Democratic nominee said in a statement. "It also underscores the need for us to pull together to solve our challenges as a country, not tear each other down."
"The former secretary of state said the U.S. respects the will of the United Kingdom and its decision, adding that the "first task has to be to make sure that the economic uncertainty created by these events does not hurt working families here in America."
"We also have to make clear America's steadfast commitment to the special relationship with Britain and the transatlantic alliance with Europe," she said.

I also like Vice President Biden's response:
"Vice President Joe Biden will warn against “reactionary politicians and demagogues peddling xenophobia, nationalism, and isolationism” Friday in Dublin, hours after the United Kingdom voted to exit the European Union."
"According to excerpts released by the White House of a speech Biden is scheduled to deliver Friday afternoon at Dublin Castle, the vice president will speak warmly of his Irish heritage and of shared values between the two nations. But he will also address the challenges both sides of the Atlantic face and caution against heeding politicians who take advantage of that “fertile terrain” to play on the fears of the public."
“We see it in Europe and around the world,” Biden will say. “And we see it today in the United States, where some politicians find it convenient to scapegoat immigrants instead of welcoming them, play to our fears rather than appeal to our better natures, divide us based on religion or ethnicity rather than unite us in our common humanity, and build walls between nations when we should be building bridges among us.”
Biden will point to immigration, terrorism, disease and economic turmoil as obstacles that both Ireland and the U.S. face. His warning not to turn inward in the face of such challenges will come just hours after Donald Trump’s celebratory Scotland press conference praising Brexit, a decision Trump said was spurred by Britons who “took their country back.”

Speaking of walls and demagogues and all that, Trump, naturally, had the most inane response.
Just arrived in Scotland. Place is going wild over the vote. They took their country back, just like we will take America back. No games!"

He, of course, fails to realize that Scotland voted Remain by 2 to 1.

No wonder the Scotts want to disown him.
