Gio Vanecchia is so enamored of Bernie Sanders that he made a five-hour drive with his wife and infant son from South Jersey on Saturday morning to catch a glimpse of the progressive firebrand.
But what if Sanders loses the Democratic nomination? Asked whether he will be there to vote for the Democrat in November should Sanders falter, the 34-year-old union mechanic reacts as if the question is insane. There is not a chance, he insists, that he would ever support Hillary Clinton.
"She's establishment," Vanecchia said. "Most of the guys I work with think she's a criminal."
Usually, that sort of primary-season hostility means little when the general election rolls around. Even after bitter battles, voters generally coalesce around the goal of beating the opposing party.
But Sanders voters are a unique lot, and Clinton campaign strategists are growing concerned about whether they will be there for her should she be the Democratic pick.
This is not a group that is particularly loyal to the Democratic Party. While liberal Democrats make up a big chunk of Sanders' support, many other backers are independents. Some mistrust the party so much that Sanders supporters booed the party chair when she took the stage Friday night at a dinner at which the candidates spoke.
Vanecchia's second choice for president is Donald Trump....

There are some who don't?
I just don’t understand WHY the Clintons are not in prison!!!
Oh yes they will. The RATS will tell them black churches are going to burn down if they don’t get in line. And their social security checks are going to be taken away if they let a Republican win. Etc etc
Hillary is every bit the Commie that is Sanders; she’s just tried to hide it, which ironically makes the Gibsmedats think she’s “Establishment.”
It is pretty sad when the latest thing in the Democrat party is literally an old Stalinist.
-I just don’t understand WHY the Clintons are not in prison!!!-
The Democrats are like one huge, extended crime family. Hillary is now the Ma Barker of the family. Democrats infest government and if one section of government did go after her, say, the FBI, another would stymie the effort, like the DOJ.
Hmmm.
Sanders is a communist socialist while Hillary is a fascist socialist.
re: “Hillary is now the Ma Barker of the family.”
General sir, I must cry foul. Comparing Hillary to Kate Barker, the legendary head of the Barker-Karpis gang is an insult. Kate Barker was an honest criminal. Thief, killer and gang leader. While Hillary Clinton is a .............
Well, maybe it is an insult to Ma Barker.
Don’t kid yourselves. We heard the same thing about Hillarys backers and Obama in 08.
In the general election the Hive will unite...
Voting patterns say no. The commie is bamboozling SOME of the same people that Obozo bamboozled, the young and idealistic.
He’ll get a lot of the young naive white vote. That’s not the bloc that’s heavy on turnout. Blacks were energized during Obozo’s run. Not so much now.
Over the next few months more will feel that way. The tax evasion details are going to destroy her poll standing.
I don’t see the youth vote coming out for Clinton like they did for Obama.
Among Democrats it is well-accepted that the Clintons are crooked. At issue is whether it matters.
because all the gangsta-mint and crooks work together?
I can't believe the MSM finally used the phrase.
Have thought of an international socialist as a Communist, and a national socialist as a Nazi/fascist. No matter the distinction, a tyrant is a tyrant. The Communist Party USA (formerly the ‘RAT Party) will once again nominate a tyrant as its standard bearer, an unbroken circle.
Burney seems like kind of a simple old guy.
Does he have an Axelrod or ValJ behind the scenes calling the plays like Baraq?
Amen, she stole it from you guys.
Damn establishment.
