Who did he take votes away from?

This may be the first year I actually watch the Republican Convention. It should be very interesting.
Party labels are no longer relevent...Independents will decide who wins this year, as far as the popular vote is concerned.

There is no Repub or Demo party, only a shadow Corporatist party, and Hillary is their candidate--the one who will do their bidding.

Bernie did what he said he would do, fall in line w/ the party.

I saw an interviewer on one of the national news programs ask three Bernie supporters if they would vote for Clinton now that Sanders had endorsed her. One supporter said yes, one wouldn't answer (looking down), and one said no. Small poll to be sure, but interesting.

Sanders and Clinton couldn't be more different in their views. I suspect many of his supporters will sit out this election.

You Trumpettes are so mad that Bernie's votes (for the most part) won't go to Trump. Lol

A candy bar at a fat farm stood a better chance than Trump did of winning the progressive Bernie vote...

Bernie is a sellout and fraud. Bernie supporters voting for Clinton are sellouts and frauds.

Other than immediate universal healthcare ~ which views do they greatly differ on?

Wall Street owning both Clintons (that includes the defense industry, Big Oil, big banks, and insurance companies), bad trade deals and off-shoring of jobs, unreleased Hillary speeches to Goldman Sachs, Hillary's support for endless wars that our politicians don't even try to win, her support for countries like Saudi Arabia that oppress women and gays, her opposition to gay marriage until very recently, her refusal to support any cost of living increase for social security recipients (which Bernie supporters tried and failed to make part of the Democratic platform)....you should already know all of this.

No avid Bernie supporter is going to give their vote to EITHER, Clinton or Trump!

Big Oil relies upon the Republicans; Hillary doesn't have jack to do with bad trade deals and she has opposed the TPP; endless wars? Other than Iraq - Bernie was ok with diddling in Syria and Libya; she is PRO gay marriage (while Trump just picked a VP that is proudly anti-gay); they agree on the minimum wage; and Republicans want to privatize SS.

Try again.

If Trump picks Pence, I'm voting third party.

Otherwise, Trump.
