That is very possible. But that's a different subject than Bernie supporter voting her.
And different from the general electorate voting for her.

According to reliable sources...
Over 90% of Sanders supporters will back Hillary Clinton

"According to reliable sources...''

WRONG! Another 'special op' power of suggestion piece from a state run media source. Have one look at the Bernie supporters facebook page. I've not seen hate like this EVER. She'll be lucky to pick up 1 sanders vote.

HRC won the primary season by FOUR MILLION VOTES.

A handful of infants and toddlers on a facebook page wouldn't even put a scratch in a dent of one state's voting total.

The bernie toddlers have no leverage. He's now a footnote. The bernie-bots can now resume their former activities of getting high and listening to Phish. A few might vote for Jill Stein but none of them will vote for trump.

This is what the left thinks of disenfranchised voters

The Republicans have a LOT of disenfranchised voters.

You should worry about them.

Many of them showed up to speak at our convention. The remainder will be pulling the lever for Hillary.

That's right. The bernie kids had their rears kissed enough**

They can now either now lead, follow, or get out of the way.

**Can you imagine how they would have reacted if bernie had been jeered and heckled last week? If people acted the exact same way toward him as his adolescent fans acted to the nominee who won by a clear margin of FOUR MILLION VOTES?... their little heads would have exploded.

You won't get 90%, but you need 90%. Most Sanders supporters I know we're never registered Democrats.
