One of those is John Lewis! They totally trashed him, and now expect him to switch to Bernie?

Change to the candidate who has 47% of the pledged vote, tells me this is a statement to go with Hillary, the people have spoken and going with the candidate who has gotten the largest percentage of the vote.

such a pure and self-righteous bunch. They honestly think that Sanders is entitled to each and every superdelegate. He should not be allowed to fail upward into the presidency. Not in 2016.

suspecting mass endorsements coming for the remaining unpledged ones way sooner than the convention, perhaps the day have next weeks' primaries.

democrats will shore up our nominee and sanders becomes a footnote.....and the more he remains a detriment to our nominee the more likely that footnote will not be kind to him or his legacy....or what is left of it

Message: Vox Populi vox Dei. The voice of the people is the voice of God. The people who wish to see humanity reach its fullest potential are speaking to you, yet you close off your ears with your hands and proudly say, "I choose my own political agenda, and my agenda can be bought by the highest bidder." You should have this minute, weak and trembling voice echoing in the recesses of your mind right now. Do you hear it? The one that is whispering, "Maybe what I'm doing is wrong." Don't be alarmed. That's just your conscience. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then you're truly too far gone and I'm not wasting my time. But if that part of you is there, and you're ignoring it? Then, well... we really are doomed. The very best and very brightest of the people you came to represent have spoken, and we have chosen progress over the same, shameful story being told over and over and over again. Please... just listen to us. You'll be glad you did.

...these people are political fundamentalists. They take all these bromides and promises on faith. No logical argument is ever going to sway them. I think I'll christen them the "Talibern".

This is the type of person who wanders up and down on a train, urging people to accept Jesus Christ as Your Personal Savior (JCAYPS) and everybody takes refuge in a phone, a book or a newspaper. Except in this case, the savior is supposed to be Sanders.

He has had some awful things sent to him via mail, email, voice messages. He even had a nasty note left at his house which freaked him out that they had his home address. He called the cops on that one, but they said they couldn't do anything.

He was always in Hillary's corner, but he is solidly there now. He said this nasty stuff is actually hurting Bernie. He has some really crazy supporters out there. I don't think they all are but there is a faction of them that are not thinking clearly.

be bullied. In fact, as Democrats, they're loathed to be forced to do anything they don't stand behind. But Sanders followers don't seem to understand this fact.
