I believe a great deal of his business ventures were profitable, but I don't know enough about his business history to comment on it. Sanders may have been candid (though I disagree with his policies), but he was inevitably a sell-out, and now has a nice new $600,000 beach house of socialism. Your loan statement is true, though in the end, I don't suppose it really ends up mattering much if he becomes president.

I'm not particularly for death on either side, but I will stand by my guns when I say that I believe he'd be a good thing for America. All in all, this election feels like a "biggest loser" contest, but it's what we have to work with.

He really didn't have a choice. He either had to endorse Hillary or not be allowed to speak and the DNC, and he needed to be able to. Plus, there was still the slight hope of her getting indited. 

Lewis Black put it best. "This is a social experiment. We tried running candidates who were honest, we tried some who were smart, we tried people we like. So this time we're running liars who nobody likes, just to see what'll happen." Paraphrasing, I could give you the video he said it on.
