As a Bernie supporter I don't want to see

His delegates rebelling against her VP pick. Kaine is her choice her decision and in endorsing Hillary I believe Sanders stands by her decision. Just saying because I saw some guy/delegate on M$NBC blasting the Kaine pick. He sure didn't speak for me. Her decision and it was excellent.

However, I do remember during the caucuses in my state that there were some very vocal if not outright rude Bernie supporters. Some of them screamed over Hillary supporters when it was their turn to talk about their candidate. It was embarrassing to see fellow Bernie supporters behaving that way, though I have to say most of the Bernie supporters were courteous. Another one held up counting because he thought the volunteers were trying to pull one over on him. I totally expect some dissenters.

2. I am wondering why you do not refer to yourself as a Clinton supporter?

Not trying to start something but you are on a Democratic board and the expected nominee is Hillary Clinton/Kaine.

This is perplexing to me. I get that you like Sanders but in what way does that exclude you from ID yourself as a Clinton supporter?

VP pick and my OP rejected disparaging remarks from a Bernie supporter that had issues with Kaine.
Lord this back and forth with you is an example of why I rarely post.
Clinton/Kaine 2016! (Gotta problem with that declaration?) Somehow I think you will.

And I sincerely don't get the differing messages indicating Bernie Supporter with icons and whatall combined/or not with statements supporting Clinton/Kaine. Seems pretty confusing to me.

If you feel that much against Kaine after hearing his story and his life's work, it says more about you than about Sen Kaine.

10. Agree. Very tone deaf. I believe that most (former) Bernie supporters will be even more inclined to

Back Hillary with this pick. Kaine instills confidence and he is genuinely a good person. Undeniable after hearing his Miami speech. When he references the VA Tech massacre his sadness is palpable.

This is going to go anywhere. There's nothing to worry about. Kaine is going to get confirmed easily.
