41. They have such a low opinion if their own "candidate"...

...that they actually want him to be a pathetic spoil support, be less unifying than Clinton in 2008, and overall lose every bit of integrity he has.

Of course, they are setting themselves up for complete disappointment. But that's not too surprising. Every time Sanders walked back some rhetoric, apologized, withdrew the lawsuit, the bitterness increased. We're approaching a point where nothing less than a coup would satisfy these faux Sanders "supporters." Within a few weeks he will be under the bus with the rest of the Democratic party.
