HotD, Jerry Brown endorsed Hillary as you probably already know. Is this significant? I'm just curious about your opinion of it.
I think it's an advantage for Hillary because the race in this state is close and Brown is generally well liked by Democrats and Independents.
Personally, based on history, I don't think Brown is a fan of the Clintons at all and that's probably why he waited so long to endorse her though.
Seems to me that Brown's heart is with Bernie but his head is with Hillary because of her experience. And, his top priority appears to be stopping Trump from becoming president rather than a deep enthusiasm for Hillary Clinton's candidacy. He wants to push Independents towards the likely Democratic nominee, rather than looking elsewhere. That's just my take.
Here's his endorsement: http://www.jerrybrown.org/an_open_letter...dependents
