95. You totally missed the point.

1. The first is just a matter of mathematics, law and potential consequences, this is a very real possibility but if it happens, don't blame Bernie or his supporters, Hillary brought it on her self.

2. Too many broad brush posts like the one you just posted only serves to increase the chances of the second scenario taking place. I don't believe the vast majority of Bernie supporters will vote for Trump, but if the Democratic Establishment, corporate media conglomerates and Hillary supporters demonize them too much, an increased number will be disaffected with the Democratic Party which surely wouldn't help in a general election should Hillary be the nominee.
