Yes, it is possible to oppose Hillary in 08 and support her now. As between Hillary and Obama to pick Obama in 08 and as between Hillary and Bernie to pick Hillary in 16. And talking about another poster behind their back. This does nothing to convince anyone to pick Bernie over Hillary or anyone else. It's just bitter hatred and inability tolerate different opinions.
