20. "Bernie is starting to sound like his WORST followers" (emphasis mine)

SPOT FREAKING ON.

Two things here; the fact that it was his worst followers that were referenced to. It speaks a great deal about his voters in general.

The word "followers." This is a word you use for those belonging to religious groups and cults, small and large. I don't know about any of you but I'm not a Clinton "follower" and I don't think she wants them. Every indication I've seen leads me to believe that Hillary would prefer the enthusiastic support of thinking people over zealotry.
