I was a Bernie supporter and don't recall the Clintonnites being hostile. They backed her, we backed him. It's politics, duh. I had no trouble switching to Clinton when she won. It's about ideas and Bernie and Hillary share far more than they differ on. Bernie is going to be in my state on Monday pushing GOTV for Clinton, so apparently he agrees.

I and my daughters and their spouses all voted for Bernie. We all switched to Hillary. Why? Because a vote for Hillary is a vote against Donald Trump who we do not want in the White House.

A vote for Third Party is just an indirect vote for Trump.

Like everything she does, it is promises made only for the votes. Bern better have something in writing lined up for after the election.

I'm sorry but the Sanders supporters are so annoying.

They didn't show up for Bernie at the voting booth and then want to blame Clinton supporter but guess what we actually voted for our preferred candidate. They have no one else to blame but themselves. Perhaps the Sanders supporters will learn their lesson to not just tweet, snapchat and attend feel good rallies for preferred candidate and actually VOTE.

You must've missed how this primary went down.

All it will take is for the Bernie supporters to stay active in the Democratic party.

The world thought McGovern was a loser or a joke, but the McGovern rules still decide what happens and who goes to the state and National convention.

Bernie simply did not have the votes. His core supporters are not a strong voting block and sadly they are the ones who let Bernie down. They did not get out the vote.

Do millenials understand that tweeting and snapchatting your preferred candidate does not count as a vote?

Nasty people will take their nasty feet and vote for Hillary Clinton.

As a former Bernie supporter I honestly have never felt hurt by what Trump said about him. I was very disgusted by what Clinton and her supporters said and did during the primary.

The typical Clinton supporter attacks her opponents with every nasty trick they can think of, and then when it comes to Clinton's own corruption, they say, so what? she's doing what every other politician does.
