Obama, Sanders, and the next few months

Today, President Obama met with Sen. Bernie Sanders in the Oval office. As of Monday, Hillary Clinton became the presumptive democratic presidential nominee. I will be forthcoming and say that I am a Sanders supporter, and this post is definitely not impartial.

Speaking of being impartial, President Obama has been impartial about his support for Hillary Clinton. Very recently he announced his assumed support for her. With these occurrences, Sanders sought a meeting with the President to discuss his campaign's future and their party's future.

In short, the article discusses Sander's staying in the race, his and the party's plan to defeat Trump, and Clinton's plans. Sanders said he will continue in the race to see D.C.'s primary results and the official count for California's primary (July 15). In his meeting with Obama, he stated his plans to work with Clinton to defeat Trump. The Senator also plans on meeting with Clinton to discuss plans for a Democrat victory and a Trump defeat.

This entire presidential race has had 'unexpected' outcomes, to say the least. One of those outcomes was Bernie Sanders to get rather close in delegate count to Clinton. Early in the race, many polls were heavily stacked against Sanders. However, over the past months, Sanders has gained major ground, won an admirable amount of delegates, and competed with the Clinton political machine. Those are pretty substantial accomplishments for a low-profile socialist candidate. Sanders may be unconventional, but convention has led to the bureaucracy and corruption our current government embodies. Not to say Trump isn't also unconventional, but he is in no way the right leader for America. When we're stuck between Democratic establishment and Republican racist candidates, Sanders seems like the only logical choice to me.

Politics isn't only logical. That is why it's the political circus. America has succumbed to a state of standstill. Our government needs change, and that change should be Sanders.
