Bernie's strategy relied on connecting with people who have heard their whole life socialist principles in the school system and the presstitute media.
People who lean to the left naturally would find Bernie's simple ideas understandable and congruent with their beliefs.
Also keep in mind that the Clinton's and Bush's have the power to fire FBI Directors, shut down investigations, and sweep away high crimes of treason.
Somebody had a talk with Bernie, and by whatever means, convinced him to openly support Hillary. Whether it was a bribe or a threat, it doesn't matter, because he has endorsed her now, and left all his supporters out in the cold.
I already suspected he was co-opted back in December, since he never called out Hillary for the voter info theft that took place with the DNC, and he never openly complained that DWS was Hillary's co-chair in 2008, and therefore represented a clear conflict of interest.
He also tried to wrap up the email scandal for Hillary in the early Democratic primary debates, as if it was no big deal. His behavior makes no sense without some sort of backroom deal, or just complete incompetence, and this is a man who has been in the Senate for a long time.

zelie-catherine r Remember that the voter information security issue showed up in December right before Christmas. When it boiled over into the public light, the Sanders campaign manager clearly stated that they had brought this problem up with the DNC 2x already before, and they did nothing about it.
Hillary's people spun this to be a voter ID theft operation perpetrated by Sanders. If both campaigns could see each other's voter data, and the DNC had already been scheming to sabotage Sander's campaign from the start with DWS (Hillary's pawn), the Hillary campaign didn't care what voter info Sanders' people could see, because they already had the election in the bag.
For Hillary's campaign, the whole operation has not been about winning the D primary. They already had it before the primary started. Their entire focus is to make it appear to be a legitimate campaign, with democratic principles and the will of D voters being represented.
That's why they were interested in the only campaign that had true, grassroots excitement. They can then send emails, make phone calls, text messages, and social media targeting to Bernie voters in the election leading up to November, and milk these people for money that will be distributed to Clinton cronies in exchange for delegate pledges, with job and contract promises for loyalists in the Clinton Presidency.
"We know you really identify with Sanders, and Hillary shares his same core values. Do you really want Donald Trump with the nuclear codes?" Or, for people who are looking for opportunity in a Clinton Presidency:
"With your generous contribution and vote, think of the difference you can make in the new party apparatus and all the hubris we will have with Hillary making the new DNC appointments. If you get in now, and are able to fundraise in the $200,000 region, you are looking at assistant chair positions in the DNC in your State, or major contracts if you're in the private side."
You think the emails they send to people that are super delegates or large donors are the same as Jane Doe? This is political party operations 101 in a campaign.

Funny, some very successful people have said that fear is an important motivator even for oneself. In order to motivate, sometimes you need to imagine the wolf at the doorstep, and what will you do to prevent that from happening.
I recently had the opportunity to sit down with a highly successful businessman for 3 nights in a row, asking him about what changes he made from 20 years ago to now in his life.
One of the many things he pointed out was fear, where his wife told him that he had until October of that year to get something in gear, or they were going to be in financial ruin. He listened to a "what if" challenge from an author talking about what your life will look like 5, 10 years from now if you stay on the same path. What about your deathbed?
That really put fear in him, which motivated him to make some serious changes in his life.
Right now, we need to be asking ourselves, "What will life look like in 5 years after a Hillary occupation of the WH again?" That should scare anyone in America that is even vaguely familiar with her.

Abdulai Bah The US still hasn't reaped the full consequences of the first Clinton Presidency, where some of our most advanced military technology was transferred to China, our military was abused as a social experiment, military leadership positions were awarded based on race rather than merits & competency, and trade agreements that hurt the US in the short and long-term were enthusiastically entered into.
Another horrible thing that was pioneered was the idea that every young America should go to college. The results? We are now a Nation of college-schooled ignoramuses with insane amounts of student debt, with very little marketable skills from those who should never have been let near college after HS graduation.
All you need to know about Hillary is how she treats other human beings, which is like dog feces under her feet. The US has never known a politician as brutally vengeful, spiteful, petty, and mentally unstable as Hillary Rodham. She isn't anywhere near as smart as she is ruthless. I worked under her closely in DC in my first unit in the Army, and her toxic leadership style was palpable throughout MDW.

Big Swing Face
Throughout the campaign Bernie correctly highlighted that Hillary was for the war in Iraq, is in bed with all the big Wall Street bankers, has received millions in campaign donations from them, won't disclose what she spoke about in her speeches with them behind closed doors, and has reversed her positions on everything from gay rights to predatory credit card lending on single mothers.
But he then went and endorsed her right after it was revealed that she stole the election from him by cheating and fraud.
Now you know all you need to about Bernie's character. He has a voice with live-feed on any of the social media accounts for the first time in history. In the past, they could edit the footage like Walter Cronkite did for LBJ when discussing Kennedy's assassination on air, but Bernie had live-feed opportunity to scream from the pulpit, "Vote for me everyone! Hillary is a scam artist. We ran an honest campaign, and she used her minions in the DNC to sabotage my campaign, steal votes, and undermine the democratic process.
Instead, he said, "I am proud to stand with her."
