(1,446 posts)What words is he using to push Trump and tear down Hillary? Is he burning her in effigy or is he tearing Trump a new one?

(7,634 posts)His delegates are booing when he says we have to elect clinton and kaine

(46,179 posts)I also heard them very loud, very supportive, when he said, "Right NOW, we have to defeat Donald Trump." Their opinion of Clinton aside, they are again cheering when he says "I will do everything I can to see Trump defeated."
It's no surprise that Bernie delegates don't like Clinton. It's also no surprise that Clinton supporters don't like them expressing that. And it's also no surprise to hear that they support defeating Trump, and therefore will work to do so.
It's too bad that establishment politics is so wrapped in hypocrisy that they would prefer 46% of Democratic voters dissemble rather than be truthful and practical.

That's exactly what is expected. Respecting the process is fine, especially when that process is not corrupt. Respect and "shut up about it" are not the same thing.
