Every Sanders supporter I come across assumes, with absolute certainty, that she is in his corner. From that assumption, it's concluded that she is toying with people (yes, rape culture-y, as above mentioned) or that she is terrified of the all-powerful Clinton Machine--a damsel in distress who needs to be rescued by Bernie and his supporters.
Never occurs to them that she might be ambivalent, or might support each one for different reasons.
Let's not even consider the possibility that she might (gasp!) lean towards Clinton.
And yes, if she were to endorse Clinton, the rage would go off the internet meter.
