Bernie Sanders

I think it will be quite the opposite. From what I am seeing, about 80% of Sanders supporters are so disgusted with the cheating and manipulation from the Party Establishment that they will probably leave the party and at least 80% of the Independents will not vote for Hillary.
Sanders people are tired of the "you ain't got no choice but to fall in line." There is a choice and that choice will send shock waves through the un-Democratic Party.
If the primary process had been open and fair, then there might have been a chance for unity but it has been dirty, cheating, and rigged from the top down through the media.

OP
Fuck that. This isn't 2008, and Bernie isn't another establishment Party insider like BO and HRC.

It's not one damned way different than when Bernie won his primaries over Clinton.

No YOU go easy on discussing Sanders supporters. You want to discuss them take it elsewhere.

According to Bernie, it's not about Bernie, so it really cannot be just about his candidacy.
