If the OP's premise is correct, and that he's a reverse Trojan Horse (for lack of a better term), designed to ultimately aid Hillary's election in November, than the kind of horrendous comments some of his supporters make on line to and about Hillary and her supporters just gives ammunition to the Republicans.

I think the Republicans have a large body to work with beyond comments on an internet forum. But I think you're stretching logic. If Bernie is actually the reverse trojan horse, then it would make sense that she tries to extend her reach to the group being attracted instead of belittling them.

She needs the supporters not the other way around.

No, that would be called pointing out disagreements in policy. Like, oh, I don't know, repeatedly accusing someone of being bought by Wall Street because of accepting donations, despite not having any specific examples to point to, and just saying "Weeellll, I assume there must be a reason."

Ripping into Bernie Bros would be pointing out the misogyny of supporters who attack anyone who dares to post a positive opinion of Hillary on social media and calling them words I'm not allowed to use here but but that rhyme with nut, punt, and witch for example, and accuse them of voting with their female genitalia for daring to support a woman.

One thing are supporters, they are in the millions and can't be controlled. But it's shameful of her to use the language of the right with their "free stuff". But it's not surprising considering who her big money donors are. She tries to kill all enthusiasm on the left and hopes she will get the people she just belittled on board.

I will vote for Trump before I vote for Hillary, and before I resort to voting for Trump, I'd have to resist the temptation to vote for Deez Nuts:

I am related to several Bernie supporters who will never under any circumstance vote for Hillary.

Two are registered independents who changed their registration to vote for Bernie. They are disappointed in the Democrats and think Hillary is just another Bush.

The Bernie supporters in Texas will be voting for Trump. They think Billary is a shoe in. They can't stand her.
But, they think Cruz is too religious. So Trump it is.

The three is Fla. will vote for Berne, and not vote for a president in the general.

DH will vote for Bernie in the primary, and no one in the general.

I will vote for Trump even though it is clear, his numbers don't work and is a blowhard. If he wins, by the time he gets his instructions from the CIA and the Mossad, he will be much calmer.

Because Trump stands for EVERYTHING that Bernie believes in. Yeah, that's right.

Bernie's campaign has totally become more AGAINST Clinton than it is FOR his own polices. Never a good sign for a campaign.


Sorry Bern

He shares more with Trump than the crony capitalist Clinton.
