Xpost from GDP - Who are the Hillary supporters?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511284071

Elsewhere in this forum there is talk about the Clinton campaign's effort to encourage more social media participation among its supporters. I responded that one reason is because of the age difference. But I want to go further. There's a lot of Bernie noise on this web site, but that doesn't mean that Bernie supporters are the only ones out there. Most people I know are Hillary supporters. Others are on the fence. Some are Sanders supporters, but not because they think Hillary is a liar. I don't personally know a single person who thinks that.

Don't respond "look at the polls." I'm not saying that Democrats aren't more and more evenly divided. Iowa was a split. There was NH, but there will be the south. I'm saying that the tone of this website is misleading. And I encourage the Hillary supporters who "stay out of GDP" to remember that and take heart.

because the crap bleeds over into GD and Latest Threads. The only thing that keeps me sane (?) is the Hillary Clinton Group. I just cannot believe how many have fallen for the BS BS including Sanders himself.
Being the President of the United States involves so much more than money and frankly, in my opinion, Sanders does not measure up to the other needs of the office. Hillary has a proven record of being able to work with others not only in Congress but also with the tact and diplomacy required for interacting with heads of foreign countries. Some will have views we may or may not agree with but still must get along with. I just cannot see Sanders in that role.
