Anxiety of a Bernie Sanders Democrat ticket begins to spread down the ballot in Miami

60. I'm not sure I understand all the hand wringing....

Isn’t the idea ‘vote blue no matter who’?... if Bernie ends up being the nominee, won’t Democrats wanting to defeat trump vote a straight Democratic ticket as well as casting a vote for President and carry that ‘vote blue no matter who’ winning strategy up and down the ticket? Aren’t the voters the ones who decide ultimately who has coattails? Wouldn’t all of you who dislike Bernie but would vote blue for whoever the candidate is also understand how important it is to vote for Democratic House and Senate candidates in Congress to defeat McConnells stranglehold on legislation and the judiciary? I realize some independents who lean right or left might not and certainly Republicans won’t (and Never Trumpers will certainly not vote for Bernie).... but Democrats? Who exactly is not going to vote a straight Dem ticket? Will Democrats hold their noses for Bernie but not vote for down ballot Dems to spite Bernie and prove he can’t get anything done? That makes no sense. I’m genuinely confused about this theory that if Bernie is the nominee I’ll vote for him but he’ll lose us all those seats in the House and Senate. Are Bernie supporters the ones who won’t vote for the legislative branch Dems? I really don’t think so.
