The rest of us are solidly for Bernie because of his ideas, his passion, and his integrity.

they're simply outnumbered by the people who realize business as usual is killing them and are looking for an alternative.

Those people in our party are supporting Sanders. In that other party, they're chumps for Trump.

My answer - O'Malley, Biden or someone else.

I would support anybody but Clinton and I don't mind admitting it.

But Bernie is running and I agree with 99% of everything he says. I am rejecting Hillary but that isn't why I support Sanders.

because of Bernie. I was hoping we would have a choice because it was virtually impossible for me to get excited about someone who I did not support the last time either.

And then we were so lucky. Not only did we get a choice, we could not have gotten a better one.
