(15,090 posts)I find the animosity between Bernie and Hillary supporters to be really disturbing. One or the other is going to be our nominee and we'll all have to get behind him or her to prevent Trump or Bush or whatever nightmare Republicans nominate.

(26,549 posts)Clinton will drive Republican turnout through the roof. Clinton's "Young people are idiots going to hell" campaign theme will ensure young people stay home.
And Republicans will win easily.

(73,558 posts)It's funny, isn't it? I think that, in the event that Hillary wins the nomination, those who back her would want to have maintained some relationships with those of us who are backing Bernie. And I know that I hope to maintain friendships, and not only for if Bernie wins, but because there are a lot of really good people, who happen to be backing Clinton. And for good reasons.
I suppose that they take for granted that people such as you and I are going to vote anyhow. And they know we'll definitely vote for Hillary over Trump or any republican.The thing is that it becomes increasingly difficult for grass roots activists to get others out to vote, if it's been an ugly primary in our party.

(52,589 posts)I thought the speeches from our two candidates after the New Hampshire primary were especially compared to Trump's. Then the lies about the Sanders campaign and the nature of those that support returned in earnest. This is not the place for those of us suffering from depression. Guess I need anger management.
