    Sounds to me like Jackson is waiting for the momentum to fully shift to Sanders before endorsing him. I think he wants to be on the winning team. He just isn’t sure who that is yet but likes Sanders message better.

    Well this part….”he praised his campaign’s civility and focus on “the issues that matter.” He told his audience to “choose hope, not fear,” …..seems to be referring to the republican candidates. Hillary is not running an uncivil campaign that is based on fear. When he said “feel the Bern”, he is at a Bernie rally so it is kind of expected. I am a Bernie supporter but I don’t think this is really anything to make noise about.

    I wasn’t sure if this is a benefit to Sanders or not.

    Still unclear but hopeful.
    Here’s something I saw that I find pretty funny, but others might not:

        Remember John Lewis couldn’t remember Bernie’s involvement with the civil rights movement?
        Here some photos.

          Yeah, I seen them in the news as well, his campaign is letting nothing go unanswered. About time the democrats are using strong strategies and standing up for themselves.

    Jesse Jackson was the keynote speaker at the event, Bernie was also speaking. Jesse plans on having an interview with Hillary in a few days….

    Jesse Jackson said he is happy to see both candidates speak about issues. He has shown no preference but said he will back the Dem nominee.
