Mike: Bernie’s speech made difference

Mike Kennedy: "I did not support Sen. Bernie Sanders during the primary. My preferred candidate(s) didn't run, and had they I'm sure they would not have won. I just watched a rebroadcast of his speech tonight. He did something that is excruciatingly difficult for a politician - he gave a full throated endorsement to his strident opponent. He did so with joy and passion and enthusiasm. He endorsed her career and wants her to be the next president. He said 'I am going to do all I can to make that happen.' That is unity, and that is a remarkable difference from what happened last week. Impressive."

Question: How important was Bernie Sanders speech last night?
