2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton cannot win the general without Bernie and his supporters [View all]Sure did.
Having said that, for those Sanders supporters who won't vote for Hillary Clinton, it's their right. NO ONE should be told whom to vote for. Conversely, those Sanders supporters who will vote for Hillary Clinton in the fall, they have the right do to so. I have many friends who are Sanders supporters across this country who are voting blue (And voting for Clinton without hesitation they all tell me) in the GE.
Bottom line: People are going to vote however they're going to vote in the primaries and ultimately in the General Election this fall.

No real Bernie supporters threw chairs and sent death threats. Those are Clinton goons.

He was an incumbent in 2012, not running for the first time. Besides, it was a much closer election

They think the Bernie backers will all fall in line if Hillary is the nominee.
