Bernie Sanders said Thursday he would work to defeat presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump in November, following a meeting with President Obama at the White House.

Sanders said he would speak with his rival, Hillary Clinton, about how to fight against Trump, but declined to endorse her or drop out of the presidential race.

“Needless to say, I am going to do everything in my power, and I will work as hard as I can to make sure Donald Trump does not become president of the United States,” the Vermont senator said.

Sanders said he phoned Clinton after Tuesday's primaries to congratulate her on her "strong campaign" and said they would speak soon about "how we can work together to defeat Donald Trump and to create a government that represents all of us and not just the one percent.”

I'm just worried that Hillary Clinton will start WWIII.

She hasn't met a military intervention she didn't like and she has compared the president of Russia to Adolf Hitler.

We're already in dangerous water when it comes to provoking Russia via NATO expansionism and encirclement of their country, so having a warmonger like Hillary in the White House portends a severe escalation of an already precarious situation.

Trump has stated his willingness to work with Putin and to reevaluate our role in NATO, so I'm much less worried about him starting WWIII than someone who compared the president of Russia to Adolf Hitler and who was involved in a coup on Russia's border.

To me, that is a stark, objective difference in foreign policy strategy.

The idea that Trump would start WWIII because he got mad over something trivial is pretty silly.

But Hillary starting WWIII because she has a demonstrated propensity to behave aggressively towards the second most powerful military in human history is entirely reasonable.

The Russian people feel increasingly threatened by NATO expansion towards their borders and they are taking steps to counteract this expansionism.

Of the two candidates, only Trump has stated his willingness to work with Russia and to reevaluate the expansionist assumptions that characterize NATO's overarching strategy towards Russia.

And this kind of cooperative attitude is exactly what is needed if we're to avoid a catastrophic conflict between our countries.

Putin says Romania, Poland may now be in Russia's cross-hairs (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-europe-shield-idUSKCN0YI2ER)

This is in response to Romania and Poland installing so-called "missile defense shields" in their country, though some question just how "defensive" they really are.

These sorts of provocations imperil the entire world and they are likely to accelerate should Clinton become the President.

But when he is right, he is right.

And he is right about many foreign policy issues, especially as it concerns Russia and NATO.

Also, you flatly misrepresented what he said about nuclear weapons.

He never said he had "no problem using nukes on Europe".

All he said was that he wouldn't rule anything out.

That's a far cry from comparing the President of Russia to Adolf Hitler.

While it's good that he called Secretary Clinton to congratulate her on her win, it would be even better if he would just drop out of the race and outright endorse her as that would make him look much better than he does now. People feel he is just causing division and problems for the Democratic Party by staying in the race and wanting to talk Clinton's delegates into coming over to his side when he has clearly not won them outright. That is problematic and America will be taking a good look at that.
