48. Do you really think people don't understand why they do the things they do?

Those of us involved in the Sanders campaign know why we are here. SOME plan to vote for Clinton IF she wins.

Others have vowed to never pull a level for her.

Bernie asking them to do it will not change that opinion for one single person.

We ALL know Bernie will support the democratic nominee.. but we are not sheep.

There is no situation left in which I would vote for Hillary Clinton.
