Maybe a speech where he acknowledges that there has been no election fraud since that is mostly what Bob-bers claim. Its ridiculous I know maybe where he defines "rigged system" or something along those lines. If you look at his actual words he seems to be saying closed primaries and super delegates are the " rigged system. " In other words, the Democratic party rules.

Good advice. I'll be voting for the candidate I prefer. It won't be Trump. Tierra_y_Libertad Jun 2016 #1
It's tough when your candidate loses a race. Fortunately, most come around after primary setback. Hoyt Jun 2016 #2
Back in 2008 the Clinton supporters had their equivalent to the BoB'ers ... the PUMAs SFnomad Jun 2016 #3
In the beginning of the aftermath of the 2008 primaries, I was a PUMA. lapucelle Jun 2016 #4
The vast majority also ended up voting for Obama. TwilightZone Jun 2016 #5
As I was a bit of a PUMA in 2008, I can speak on this tangent Tarc Jun 2016 #6
Yes, you are all correct ... most of the PUMAs did become Obama supporters ... her concession speech SFnomad Jun 2016 #8
Hope so but then Bernie may not give such a concession speech treestar Jun 2016 #35
A similar gesture Might be? DLCWIdem Jun 2016 #67
I heard some of the PUMAs became tRump supporters and Birthers DLCWIdem Jun 2016 #54
Whould would a PUMA become a tRump supporter? That makes no sense at all SFnomad Jun 2016 #68
a few became Birthers 8 years ago and went with Birtherism DLCWIdem Jun 2016 #70
That wouldn't necessarily make them a tRump supporter now SFnomad Jun 2016 #71
well they joined Trump and his birtherism but it was only a few DLCWIdem Jun 2016 #75
Trump came into the whole birther movement late in the game. lapucelle Jun 2016 #93

Right, because Sanders positions are so much closer to the GOP than Clinton's. NorthCarolina Jun 2016 #81
No, because probably some Republicans have come over here to cause dissention SFnomad Jun 2016 #89
Yeah, Nader purists. joshcryer Jun 2016 #57
short memories as well, just like they had forgotten how bad Reagan was in 2000 geek tragedy Jun 2016 #59
Well, they had it good under Bush. joshcryer Jun 2016 #60

Go ahead, be a BoB'er ... be irrelevant ... I really don't care SFnomad Jun 2016 #22
