Voting for Sanders will elect Trump. Do your duty.

THIS kind of divisive rhetoric is exactly what will help Trump. And it only makes people less likely to support Clinton.

It is not rhetoric. It is a statement of fact.

Well, is Hillary any better than TRUMP...

Probably, not from the standpoint of true Sanders supporters. Which is exactly why I heartily dislike them.

Your assumptions are not facts until proven so. Fine, say what you like about people who happen to disagree with you in this case. Clinton won't beat Trump without Sanders supporters, and that is a fact. Lumping all of us together isn't going to hel your cause.

It is true that Clinton will need Sanders supporters. However, those Sanders supporters who would even consider voting for Trump I want to go that way: this way I can collect all my hatreds in the same party.

I can't say I think too highly of Sanders supporters who would consider voting for Trump if Clinton is the nominee either. Still, Clinton needs to find a way to win over these voters.

I would note that "not satisfied" does not mean "would not vote for."

Well, I missed all the excitement. Looks like MO, IL, and NC were decent for Sanders, but because of his abysmal results in OH and FL, it was an awful night for him overall. I don't think anyone can deny that Clinton will win the nomination at this point, but I don't think it's time for Sanders to drop out just yet. Let his supporters have their say, then once Clinton officially crosses the finish line, we can work toward unity.

Alright, GG. Congrats, Clinton. Time to take a break from the forum. I'll be back when things are less insufferable.
