The Bern is about to become an irritating itch

My friends, it is not long until Clinton has this thing sewn up. Iowa is looking good, but we all are very aware of the realities of Nevada, SC, and super Tuesday. Even if Iowa is lost by a hair, Clinton is coasting.

I'm here to remind us to ignore the drunken party in GD-P and focus on the math. As I posted in another OP earlier, this is where the adults are.

They will ridicule and they will dance with lampshades on their heads, but we will simply shake our heads at the nonsense and calmly wait for reality to set in.

Clinton will be the nominee and she will win the presidency. Stay realistic and carry on!

Peace.

Why not take the high road?
Hillary will need Bernies people in November.
Congratulate them for their interest in politics and then welcome them in.

Remember what Bill always said:
In the primary, you fall in love, then in the general, you fall in line.

I support Bernie in the primary because I am very liberal/progressive....but, I will gladly fall in line for Hillary in November.

I love Bernie, and would vote for him in the general, but some of the politically naive extreme Bernie supporters probably would never have voted for Hillary to begin with. And I am sure some of them are GOP moles. There are too much anti-Democratic party feeling within them.

But I'm sure many Bernie supporters are real Democrats and will vote for Hillary.

But many of your fellow supporters have been very nasty to Clinton. I contend that the nasty level of Clinton supporters is much lower than that of Sanders supporters.

Mark my words, Clinton will get the votes of Sanders supporters in November. They may be drunk with hope now but the reality of a Trump presidency will sober them up quickly.

All Democratic Party's candidates would need each other supporters - whoever wins the primary. It plays both ways.

have been abused by Bernie fans 24/7 for months now.

They run this board with an iron fist and Bernie packed juries. I've been banned/forced off this board two or three times in the last few months for the heresy of supporting Hillary Clinton over our blessed lord and savior Bernie Sanders and I'm just one of many.

Bernie fans assure me each and every day how much they hate the democratic party in general, and Hillary Clinton in particular, so I must assume that they will not support its candidate for president if its anyone but Bernie.

I personally dont give a damn what Bernie fans do after Hillary secures the nomination. I assume they will go back to whatever third party/libertarian joke party they came from...

..or...

vote for Trump in the general.

I spit coffee out on that one! Thanks!

I agree. Most Sanders fans will vote Clinton and the trolls and moles will go back to their basements and vote for Trump in their minds.

The Sanders supporters on this site have been downright nasty to Clinton, to Obama, and to the Democratic Party. They hate all three. DU is for Democrats.

Yes that was true for years and I hope it will be in the future as well.

The religious fervor that some Bernie fans have for him is somewhat frightening at times eh? But us heretic democrats need to stick together till its over.

I will be voting democratic in any event. We must stop republicanism before it destroys this country and the rest of the world as well.

Great advice.

I can't wait for the Bernie Sanders attack the democratic party phase to be over so Hillary and us can concentrate on the damned republican teahaddists!
