MSNBC's Steve Kornacki seems to be hung up on the issue. This past Wednesday on the Rachel Maddow show which he hosted, devoted a segment of the program on the subject matter. He wondered why the endorsement has not come yet like there is some kind of mandate out there as to a time schedule. He then asked will the endorsement have a lesser affect coming later rather than earlier. Then he noted the endorsement may come next week when Sanders campaigns with Hillary.
Kornacki is one of the young Journalists at MSNBC and has good potential but has the same problem as the more experienced host at MSNBC. They have too much air time to fill and instead of talking about those issues that really matter and make a difference they inject non issues like Sanders endorsement. The reality is that if Sanders endorsed Clinton next week or the week after it will have the same affect as an earlier endorsement.
The reason being the voters won't get excited until after the convention. That is when the voters get into the swing of things. That is also when Sanders supporters will have to put up or shut up because Hillary has already made some concessions to Sanders both in the Democratic platform and by meshing some of Sanders ideas on policy with her own.
Filling up air time with quality issues that help the public understand is an opportunity lost by the cable networks. There are so many positive issues taking place in our great nation that is being neglected in favor of the extreme voices who seem to be everywhere on the cable networks. President Kennedy once said, civility is not a sign of weakness and those words of wisdom have been proven time and time again and have accomplished much.
Yes my fellow Americans, understanding the past is still the key to a better future.
