Bernie's supporters how Hillary MUST "win THEM over" while they treat Hillary's supporters with scorn, making a huge presumption that we would automatically vote for Bernie without question were he to be the nominee.

While it is true that I will NEVER vote for ANY GOP candidate in 2016, it is very good that I will not have to support Bernie because I no longer respect him as I once did. After NV 1 & 2, the grandstanding crap about the Pope (who was entirely consumed with the refugee crisis in Syria to which Bernie never even paid lip service), his anti-Dem statements, his constant victimhood, and making everything about HIM have all ensured that I will likely never respect him again.

Let us all hope that he regains some sanity when he finally recognizes reality.
