Unless you have many followers and they with many as well, your trend won't get off the ground simply by tweeting. Your issue is that most of the Hillary crowd has no clue how to use social media and actually downplays it repeatedly, so this would backfire on you in a most incredible way. I really wish you could start this but, alas, probably not.

This doesn't mean you can just ridicule them.

To answer your question, you need a large group of people retweeting #BernieSoPure to get it trending and make people notice. This is why you see a lot of Clinton supporters using the hashtag #ImWithHer.

...and follow them with your hashtag, '#BernieSoPure'.

Just keep posting them and hopefully your followers will come up with their own one-liners and use your hashtag. Eventually, clicking on '#BernieSoPure' you'll have a page of like tweets. The more people posting with the hashtag, the more likely it'll 'trend'.
