Yep. I also think it was a way to show full throated support in case there was any doubt.

(12,448 posts)1. Okay, I'm confused...
How can the nomination be "by acclamation" when she'd already had the necessary votes? Suspend what rules?
I'm not trying to be divisive; I'm genuinely puzzled. I AM glad Bernie did that, though.

(25,685 posts)6. Yes, it was a nice thing for him to do, But his chapter in this story is now closed.
This is now Hillary Rodham Clinton's story and only her story from now until November 7th. No more Bernie interviews. You don't see them interviewing Martin O'Malley. Or on the Republican side all their loser candidates. No it's Trump and only Trump.
