My teenager took off her Bernie sticker from her car

I drove home from work and noticed the sticker was gone. I assumed someone had ripped it off so I asked my daughter when it happened.

"Oh, I took it off. I like Bernie but he has lost and now he just sounds angry. We really have to make sure Hillary beats Trump. It's too important that the Democrats win."

I kid you not!

more common sense than millions of those still buying what berny is sellin' hard!

Glad she could see the "anger" isn't helpful.

Good news, Stuck.. thank you!

A teacher at my daughter's middle school was gun ho for BS. As of last week, the teacher told the class that she is now supporting HRC along with her husband and the block that she lives in (somewhere in Orange County, California).

Yay!

The youth liked Sanders for valid reasons, but they are not "berniebros" and know the type of disaster that Trump will bring.

Will do more than anything to unite the party and bring the Bernistas to reality.
I hope.
My son, a Bernie fan, recently told me he will enthusiastically vote for HRC in Nov.

Good for her for initially supporting the candidate of HER choice, AND for now being pragmatic and sensible and supporting the Dem nominee. Sounds like one smart kid.

My 23 year old son is very politically aware, and he's been so over "TheBern" for quite a few months now. He lives in the real world like me.
