Bernie supporters are unlike anything we have seen, ever!

Worse than Republicans and there are so damn many of them!

It's this way every four years and you just can't take it personally. People are passionate about who they support and some get carried away on both sides of the fence.

Republicans are different. There's where the real hate is.
