Thank you Sanders supporters

The Fix
Donald Trump’s bad month just got worse, because Sanders backers just rallied to Clinton


Donald Trump would like for Bernie Sanders supporters to ditch the Democratic Party and support him. There is very little evidence that they will do that, mind you, but it's certainly possible that they might just stay home — which would help Trump.

Well, we have some bad news for the Trump campaign. Sanders supporters aren't just rallying around Clinton; they're doing it rather quickly. And it's a big reason Clinton just extended her lead over Trump into the double digits, 51 percent to 39 percent.

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that Sanders backers, who polls have shown were reluctant to jump over to Clinton and even flirted with supporting Trump, are coming home faster than we might have expected.

1. Hi

[HumanityExperiment]

2. your 'thanks' is not accepted...

impossible to get past your 'conversations' through the primaries as it concerns those that supported Bernie here on DU

[JoePhilly]

3. Look who speaks for all Bernie supporters today.

Looks like around 80% of Sanders supporters have moved on already.

[HumanityExperiment]

4. convention is going to be fun...

we'll see how those % work out during convention, that will tell the tale of how far folks have 'moved on'

[JoePhilly]

5. You should ...

... cling to that fantasy for as long as you want.

"Dear Penthouse" stories are closer to reality.

[HumanityExperiment]

10. again, convention should be interesting

have a day!

[JoePhilly]

19. It's going to be fantastic.

That I am sure of.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. I know that was for my buddy Joe ...

But "have a nice day" seems more appropriate.

What do you think?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

8. Can you please tell me how those sentiments

Convention is going to be fun...
we'll see how those % work out during convention, that will tell the tale of how far folks have 'moved on'

Can you tell me how the sentiments you express fulfill the mission Skinner has set for our board:

We are Democrats and we are all Clinton supporters now. Our opponents are Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

Thank you in advance.

[HumanityExperiment]

9. It's a DEM convention... do you really need further explanation?

If my focus of the platform confuses you then maybe you should focus your 'question' there

Have a day!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. Do you or do you not wish to see a divisive convention

Do you or do you not wish to see a divisive convention that is seemingly at odds with the mission of our board:

We are Democrats and we are all Clinton supporters now. Our opponents are Donald Trump and the Republican Party.


http://www.democraticunderground.com/~Skinner

Thank you in advance.

[HumanityExperiment]

13. again what part of platform focus do you not understand?

you're the one advocating for divisive, not I... so you have that going for ya in your replies here...

so the only one 'breaking rules' would be you so far with this repetitive replies asking about being 'divisive'

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. Sir or madame, I do not think that is the case.

You said and I quote:

Convention is going to be fun... we'll see how those % work out during convention, that will tell the tale of how far folks have 'moved on'

Is it or is it not the assertion embodied in your premise that our Convention will be contentious and how does a contentious Convention bring us closer to fulfilling the mission Skinner has given to members of our august board:

We are Democrats and we are all Clinton supporters now. Our opponents are Donald Trump and the Republican Party.


http://www.democraticunderground.com/~Skinner

Thank you in advance.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

17. Sir or madame, I regret that you are resorting to ad hominem attacks

Sir or madame, I regret that you are resorting to ad hominem attacks to camouflage the fact that you demur from the mission of our board:

We are Democrats and we are all Clinton supporters now. Our opponents are Donald Trump and the Republican Party.


http://www.democraticunderground.com/~Skinner

[HumanityExperiment]

18. you're entitled to your own perception.... Have a day!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. Are we finished? I am enjoying our tete a tete.

[LoverOfLiberty]

16. You would be best

to ignore this poster (s)he is a master at the veiled threats that are "oh so taken out of context" once called out on. They will cling onto "lets wait until the convention" (as if there will be any other outcome than Hillary being the nominee) until its over, they they will either move on (doubtful) or latch onto another "benign" cause/hope/date where they can continue with their ominous predictions predicated under concern for Democrats and/or the democratic process.

In short, poster cannot stand to lose.

[John Poet]

22. DON'T Be a "TOS BULLY".

That is just as offensive as any disallowed behavior regarding candidates.

If you want to 'alert' on someone for something they wrote, then just DO IT--
don't talk about it.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. Sir

DON'T Be a "TOS BULLY"

I regret the fact that you feel the need to insult me... One of the most profound things I ever read on the internet was from a thirteen year old kid on a ESPN message board. He wrote "there are real people behind their computers and they have feelings, when you are mean to them, they hurt."

[liberalmuse]

21. You don't speak for me.

[Dawgs]

23. Absolutely speak for me.

Great post.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. I extended an olive branch and a hand of friendship.

It saddens me that hand is slapped.





Empathy is part and parcel of liberalism.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

27. As liberals we should have more empathy for one another.

Such unkind words hurt my feelings.

6. As a former Bernie supporter who plans on voting for Clinton...

I've had my doubts about the Bernie or Bust crowd from the beginning. They're only going to dwindle down more and more as we move through the summer and see how much of an authoritarian ass Trump reveals himself to be. I suspect these polls will only get better for HRC.

[Johnny2X2X]

12. I voted for Bernie

Been a huge follower of Bernie for over 20 years. I voted for him, but always liked Clinton too. I knew they both have the same goals and just slightly different ways to get there.

When it looked like Clinton was going to win I was more than happy to support her. I saw a ton of BS Hillary stories posted by Bernie supporters on FB and on here. Some people let their emotions cloud their judgement. I mean some of the sources for Clinton hate pieces were absolutely laughable.

Now that things have had some time to calm down, it's great to see the Party uniting. This election is too important to leave to chance.

[Hiraeth]

7. oh my god. you are so welcome!!

[MaggieD]

26. +1

All the Sanders supporters I know IRL are enthusiastically supporting Clinton.
