someone who supports Bernie on issues may have a problem with Hillary, but would be diametrically opposed to what Trump represents.

There's some deep bullshit going on here, and I think some folks are getting played by the Repubs. I smell a ratfuck.

They believe that Trump cannot get his craziest ideas through Congress.

However, it is certain that if the GOP retains control of the House and Senate, he will succeed in depriving millions of health insurance. He will be able to kill Obamacare. Make no mistake about that.

And, he will be able to appoint right wing nuts like Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court. If the Court is controlled by right wing nuts, they will declare unconstitutional every piece of progressive legislation that we get passed during your lifetimes.

And, Trump will be in charge of our nuclear arsenal. Should you put someone who is constitutionally unable to ever apologize or admit a mistake in charge of the power to destroy all humanity to protect his honor?

An Agent Provacature.

Supporting A multimillionaire who supported abolishing minimum wage, deporting all Muslims, rounding up undocumented workers, building a great Wall of America, lowering taxes on the rich, revoking Roe v. Wade, blanket bombing women and children, and believes blacks are naturally lazy is not in any way a a Sansder's supporter.

People without the reflection and maturity to climb down from hate when the GE rolls round. There's nothing wrong with thinking, and arguing for, Sanders was the better choice. I did both. But when the fringe loonies started saying she was every foul thing in creation, that drove these idiots into actually believing the hype. Luckily I suspect they are a small group in the general and while magnified in te convention will be taken care of by convention rules and security before the prime time cameras start rolling.

They ignore the millions of Sanders supporters who will vote Clinton because they understand the difference.

BTW, how many are these protesters? Because on the photo, they do not seem to be that numerous.

It's not really possible to discuss that in depth on this forum, but don't you think that's part of why so many Sanders holdouts aren't moved by the comparisons of Trump to horrors of history?

I think that a pro-Clinton coalition will include people who believe Clinton is less dangerous than Trump. I've had concerns about Democrats I've voted for in the past, and this didn't preclude me from voting and campaigning for them.

I can understand the desire to have greater political discipline at a convention; indeed, the rules could be changed to enforce such if parties desired it.
