"What is most important is not whether Hillary or Bernie becomes the nominee."

"What is most important is making sure that Donald Trump does not become president"

Spoken just now by Bernie.

I couldn't agree more. Trump sealing the deal tonight makes all this Hillary-Bernie stuff seem trivial.

He's always about US.........not I.

That's what separates him from Hillary.

She, even now, is as weak a frontrunner as I've seen.

And that's a huge problem for me. The longer Bernie stays in, the more I'm going to dislike him because of what's at stake.

Bernie does better against Trump, so if you all really cared about Trump, you'd go with the best option to beat him rather than trying to merely eliminate Hillary's competition. You're using him only as another excuse to support who you want to support.
