2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)A study in vindictiveness: If Bernie loses, his backers maynot be there 4 Hillary in November [View all]
http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-clinton-sanders-20160206-story.htmlBut Sanders voters are a unique lot, and Clinton campaign strategists are growing concerned about whether they will be there for her should she be the Democratic pick.

Some mistrust the party so much that Sanders supporters booed the party chair when she took the stage Friday night at a dinner at which the candidates spoke.
Zanecchias second choice for president is Donald Trump.
