To me "Bernie or Bust" means two things

1) The Primary is NOT over, Bernie's still in it, and in it to WIN. I find the whole question of who I'll vote for if Bernie loses to be an insulting distraction from the fact that the Primary is not over until the moment the nominee is decided conclusively, and not a minute before.

2) IF when it's over Berine does not win, it's none of anyone's damnd business who I will vote for, i;e; I'm not much onto Loyalty Oaths, never have been. That's why we have a secret ballot in this nation. Besides, If ever there was a Primary season that is volatile and totally unpredictable it is this one; so it's presumptuous and totally premature to even ask who I'dl vote for should Bernie not be the nominee.

vote for Hillary I see no reason to settle for transcripts if they were filmed.

Presumably, she wasn't up there telling them why she would be a poor choice for president. We need to know what those people were told.

Maybe there are some 47% type comments like Robmy made? Maybe she went off on envy and class warfare and told them she had their backs? Only one way to know.
