Former Sec. of State Clinton said, “I certainly look forward to working with Senator Senators in the lead up to the convention in the lead up to the platform that will represent the Democratic Party. It will be a progressive platform. I’ve run on a progressive agenda. I really welcome his ideas and his supporters’ passion and commitment, because the most important thing for us is to win in November. There is no more important goal, and I was pleased when Sen. Sanders said the other day that he is going to work tirelessly seven days a week to make sure that Donald Trump is not president and I really welcome that because that has to be our primary objective.

Clinton heaped praise on Sen. Sanders for all he has done and said that she knows how it feels to lose a primary. She said that she is going to be aggressive in reaching out to Sen. Sanders’ supporters, “I’m going to be aggressive in reaching out to Sen. Sanders’ supporters, but we have so much more in common, and we have far more in common than they do with Donald Trump or any other Republican.”

Clinton’s statement that she is going to work with Sen. Sanders on a progressive platform for the Democratic Party is one of the things that the Sanders campaign has wanted. Since his defeat in the New York primary, Bernie Sanders has been changing the tone of his campaign and his staff has been privately suggesting that the battle for the nomination is over.

What Democrats are witnessing are the first steps in a courtship between the Democratic Party and the Bernie Sanders movement. There is no doubt that Clinton will be aggressive in courting Sanders supporters. There is also little doubt that the voters who supported Bernie Sanders will never support Donald Trump, who is the opposite of everything that they believe in.

Judging from the direction and tone of the Democratic primary, Democrats are going to draft a very progressive platform. I suspect that the platform will be more progressive that President Obama’s platforms in 2008 and 2012, and his platforms were quite liberal.

There are always a few loud supporters of the losing candidate who never want to give up until the bitter end, but those voices are a tiny minority. Democrats are unifying, and their attention is turning towards beating Donald Trump in November.
