Full text of the prepared speech

Bernie Sanders said:
It is no secret that Hillary Clinton and I disagree on a number of issues. That's what this campaign has been about. That's what democracy is about. But I am happy to tell you that at the Democratic Platform Committee which ended Sunday night in Orlando, there was a significant coming together between the two campaigns and we produced, by far, the most progressive platform in the history of the Democratic Party. Our job now is to see that platform implemented by a Democratic Senate, a Democratic House and a Hillary Clinton president – and I am going to do everything I can to make that happen.

I have known Hillary Clinton for 25 years. I remember her as a great first lady who broke precedent in terms of the role that a first lady was supposed to play as she helped lead the fight for universal health care. I served with her in the United States Senate and know her as a fierce advocate for the rights of children.

Hillary Clinton will make an outstanding president and I am proud to stand with her here today.

all Bernie has to do after this is just go after Trump and outline why the parties are different. All while saying "vote for Clinton".

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
LOL HA Goodman says Trump is the lesser evil in this election.

This is fine. Bernie was always going to stump a bit.
it's basically all he knows to do out there.

Hardest part will be learning "I'm sorry, I'm a little bit busy running Hillary for President! to have figured that out yet," in that trademark smarm.
 
My stream decided to buffer during Bernie's actual endorsement. I feel cheated.

Yeah, that sounded better in my head.

Huge surprise here. Bernie tore it up. Fantastic speech that should unite any of his reasonable supporters.
 
Anyway, Trump replies to Ginsberg:

Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, said he found those remarks unbefitting a member of the high court.

“I think it’s highly inappropriate that a United States Supreme Court judge gets involved in a political campaign, frankly,” Mr. Trump said. “I think it’s a disgrace to the court and I think she should apologize to the court. I couldn’t believe it when I saw it.”

Mr. Trump continued: “That she should be saying that? It’s so beneath the court for her to be making statements like that. It only energizes my base even more. And I would hope that she would get off the court as soon as possible.”

Mr. Trump also said he expected to announce his choice of a running mate by Friday, winding down a process that has been closely watched as in all likelihood the most significant decision he will make in his campaign.

“I have five candidates, plus two, two that are unknown to anybody,” said Mr. Trump in a phone interview from Chicago, where he was raising money for his campaign.

“I will be making a decision over the next three- to-four-day period of time, and I think it will be a decision that will be a very good decision for a lot of people,” Mr. Trump added.

Mr. Trump said that he was not basing his vice-presidential selection on fund-raising prowess or potential, and indicated that he had had enough experience with many of those he has been considering for the job that their tryouts on the campaign trail would not necessarily be determinative.

“I’ve been with these people for a long time — I know them,” Mr. Trump said, specifically invoking Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey and Newt Gingrich, the former House Speaker. “Christie was excellent yesterday and Newt is excellent.” Mr. Trump will appear on Tuesday night in Indiana with Gov. Mike Pence, who has risen in the of many of the nominee’s advisers.

His decision, Mr. Trump said, was largely coming down to instinct. “A lot of is gut. A lot of it is,” he said. “My whole life has been about gut.”

He also suggested he would consider polling in states like heavily Democratic Connecticut, which he again said he believed he could put in play in November.

Asked for quick thoughts about each of the candidates he is known to be considering, Mr. Trump played along.

Mr. Christie? “Strong,” he said.

Retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn? “A patriot.”

Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa? “A terrific, exciting person.”

Mr. Pence? “Solid as a rock.”

And Mr. Gingrich? “Newt is Newt. He’s a good guy.”
