That was months and months ago.

Now he's just met with Obama in the White House -- followed by Obama endorsing Hillary.

Well, let's see, you Bernie supporters....

You know Hillary is a sell-out liar and a shill of special interests, Wall Street, and Goldman Sachs.

You know that she supports trade deals that have screwed the American middle class and American workers.

You know that she supports pointless wars that we don't win on purpose but that make a lot of money for defense contractors.

You know that she's a lying, hateful crook who has used government to enrich herself and who has gone out of her way to destroy her hubby's victims.

And then there's Trump.

Trump who hasn't accepted a dime from Wall Street and is only raising money to help down-ballot Republicans get elected.

Trump who is against trade deals that have screwed the American middle class and American workers.

Trump who was opposed to the Iraq war and has clearly said that we should only fight wars that we need to win, are determined to win, and will win.

Yeah, he is a bit of a racist. But how does that make him different from the dems and libs who blame whitey for everything and support actual racist discrimination against whites and gender discrimination against males in affirmative action programs?

Yeah, he's oriented to business. Where do you think money comes from to pay for social security, Medicare, etc.? From trees where people just pick off the dollar bills?

If you want REAL racism, pointless war, income inequality, and impoverishment of the middle and working class, don't vote for Trump.

If you DON'T want those things, vote for Trump.

Yes, Trump will say offensive things.

Some of us find that refreshing in today's PC environment.

Those who don't need to time-travel back to when they were five years old and Mommy wisely said, "Sticks and stones will break your bones, but names will never hurt you."

In other words, GROW UP!

Bernie conned you.

But it's not too late to make a difference that will....make America great again!
You do realize your doing more harm than good for trump....right?

Sorry some of us have choose to deny both of your repulsive candidates and not become a useful idiot sock puppet. As the saying goes ' insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results', so excuse us for not wanting to join the asylum.
YES YES a thousand times YES.

In fact, the ONLY reason third parties don't already have a chance, the ONLY reason why we're locked into the two-party BS, is BECAUSE people believe so. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy that can and WILL change the more people recognize that and vote for the candidate they truly want rather than remain panting on the 'lesser-of-two-evils' hamster wheel.

Myself, I will likely write in John McAfee, a very sensible, intelligent Libertarian candidate.

Yes-it's amazing how many still play along. It's like they have collective amnesia every 4 years.

Two-party tyranny has spoiled our Democracy"

Call me stupid, but putting down their deity Bernie to get support for Mr. Trump is as dumb as calling him "Crazy Bernie" or a loser when The Donald changed his mind about debating him. Not the way to do it, I think.

Who, pray tell, is Jill Stein??? And she has a "party?" So, she's a socialist too? Great. Just what we need.

Have you checked out Venezuela lately?

You are being willfully ignorant if you can't be bothered to look her up, and nothing anyone says will change that.

Good luck!

They are just following the leader.

Trump thinks making fun of Elizabeth Warren is going to win Bernie supporters over?

The Bernie fans I know are pretty fond of her, as well.

What an amazingly bizarre post, OP.

If I were a Sanders supporter, your post wouldn't endear me to Trump at all. Your post is full of twisted logic and insults.

I swear, I will never understand Trump supporters...and, for that, I am eternally grateful.

We are Venezuela without the ability to just print money. That's not going to last forever.
