Local Delegate Comments On Sanders' Clinton Endorsement

by Pat Loeb

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is expected to pick up an important endorsement Tuesday morning in New Hampshire: Her fiercest primary rival, Bernie Sanders.

But will that persuade Sanders voters to join her camp?

"I'm supporting Hillary Clinton because of where I live and where I live is in the real world," said Lou Agre, a proud and dedicated Bernie Sanders delegate.

The 21st ward leader says, he will be an enthusiastic Clinton voter.

"The two scariest words I can think of right now are 'President Trump,' so I think it's important that we set all the differences aside, look at what we all agree on and go forward in November," he said.

Agre does not buy into complaints that Sanders was robbed, or that the system was rigged, though he understands why some Sanders voters think so.

But Agre, in fact, thinks Sanders won in important ways.

"Bernie Sanders has moved the discussion and thank God for that. That's what his purpose was," said Agre.
