I recently decided to support Hillary also.

My 89 year old mother will be voting for her, and I just learned my sister will be too. Sis lives in SC, so she actually already has voted for her.

It seems many Bernie supporters are literally "feeling the burn" this weekend because their candidate got smoked.
