Now what about those lovely people he's hired to handle his campaign?

More worryingly err importantly, the most fanatical of his support base? I have been having a "discussion" back and forth with 3 Bernie bros on twitter and so far:
1- Will write in Bernie
1- Will vote for trump
1- Will not vote if Bernie loses primary.

It's anecdotal, but it worries me too many of them will pull a 2016 again.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
