And no putdowns of Bernie supporters as.....well you know all of the labels, with Berniebro being one of the mildest.

open the primaries/caucus and give Bernie 50% additional airtime before the primaries, then you will have a much better answer.

Otherwise, you guys are still propping up an candidate that might very well be disqualified due to her inablility to obtain a low-level security clearance. I'm sure you know why.

Good luck with Clinton in California. What you see at the end of the NJ and California elections will not be what you expect.

I am sure one could find similar examples among Bernie supporters.

You seem to be romanticizing Bernie Sanders in a way that he would probably caution you against doing.

If Senator Sanders had a 3 million vote lead, would the logic of your argument apply?

However the primary turns out, vote straight Democratic.

Because their righteousness is so righteous.

Sanders camp has trouble with the reality of the race. More lemmings voted for Hillary. In two caucus states that Bernie won, Hillary won the primary where more people participated.

That's an embarrassing thing, it seems to me. We can vote here, whether we are political experts or simply people who want to participate. You are not competent to judge the validity of anyone's vote but your own. Clearly, you prefer Bernie Sanders, but that represents just one vote. Three million or so more voters have preferred Hillary Clinton. To simply categorize those voters as small, stupid rodents, is an elitist attitude.

I'm sorry, but you have revealed much in your post. I reject your conclusions.
