(704 posts)As a "Bernie Supporter" I appreciate that.
I am one of those supporters who will be voting for Hillary--and since I live in the battleground state of Pennsylvania I consider that to be very important. But nothing will ever diminish the love I feel for Bernie and his political revolution movement. While I will absolutely vote for Hillary in this election, I will also hold her to promises made.
Donald Trump is the most dangerous candidate for the White House I've ever seen. I will not lay my head down on election night believing in any way I helped him to get to the office of the President of this country. Even if my vote is essentially an anti-Trump vote , I am optimistic by nature and hope that Hillary will be true to the vision that both candidates agreed on. And yes--I know that I can't have everything.
I will continue to keep Bernie's face on my posts because he reflected my beliefs like no other candidate in my lifetime. And if I see anyone blaming him or insulting him I will be quick to defend him.
But MOST of the "Bernie Supporters" will be voting for Hillary. Poll after poll confirms that. By November when emotions have settled I see that number growing as people take a closer look at Trump.
The last thing that Hillary needs is an ongoing battle.
The last thing this country needs is Donald Trump as President.
I will follow Bernie's lead. I trusted him and his feelings and continue to do so. If Bernie is with her--that's good enough for me.
I appreciate this post.
