Are you suggesting that Sanders voters just aren't as perceptive as you are?

I voted for Bernie back in March. Anyone who didn't see this coming is delusional or has not been paying attention.

I know you won't. Your just playing a game, trying to see how many times you can go back and forth before you actually prove your point.

I don't even get how you come to your argument. I'm sorry, I'm going to stop poking now. Not nice on my part. I simply know that you don't even believe what you are saying. Your quote unthread fully backs that.
