Hillary Clinton tells Bernie Sanders backers: When this nomination is wrapped up, join me
By Abby Phillip December 22, 2015
Snip: "I think it's very dangerous to look at the alternatives and believe that your staying home is a responsible choice," Clinton said. "It's hard for me to believe that anybody who would support Senator Sanders would want to see any of the Republicans elected president of the United States.
"I would just ask that when this nomination is wrapped up that they come and join with us to make sure that we don't turn the White House back over to the Republicans," she added.
End of line.
A month later it seems the foot is on the other hand. That invites this question. Will Hillary and company join us or let the cookies of a united D party crumble?

Every Hillary supporter that I know has stated support for whomever the eventual DEMOCRATIC nominee happens to be. Granted, my immediate circle is limited to only 50 or 60 Hillary supporters (and about as many Sanders supporters who have also committed to voting for the Democrat in the race), but the unanimity of their expressed intent gives weight to my objection to your assertion.

(9,944 posts)Hillary will support the Democratic nominee. It's only natural that many of the candidates see themselves as the winner, at this point.
