To so-called “Bernie-or-Bust” supporters who are adamant that they won’t vote for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, vice president Joe Biden said he’d offer the following message: “If you’re as moral and centered as you say you are, I know you can’t vote for Trump. I know.”

Biden's comments came yesterday during an interview with ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. Clinton made history later that day as the first female major party nominee in the nation’s history when Bernie Sanders, her rival, threw his support behind her even as some of his supporters expressed their displeasure over the outcome of the highly competitive –- and at times acrimonious -- process leading up to the convention.

The vice president has a reputation as a working class, middle class man, and Stephanopoulos asked him to explain why Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump appeared to have such appeal to that demographic.

Everyone who takes advice on morality from ol' plate-head, please raise your hand.

That's what I thought.

But they can wash their hands and walk away from voting this election. I’ll be happy if all the Bernie supporters do that.

Why are the American Flags almost hidden on stage? Remember when asked why he didn’t salute or wear an American flag pen....... Obama’s response was......”...I don’t want to take sides.......HUH!!!!.......Barry Hussein told America she could go to hell at that moment and we the people have allowed this fraud to lead us there ever since.

TRUMP WE NEEEED YOU!!

If Bernie supporters are post modernists as I think they are, “moral” is a meaningless word to them.

Read between the lines here.

They know they are hemorrhaging voters, they can’t contain that so the next is to mitigate. Try and steer defectors away from Trump. They’re chasing rats fleeing a sinking ship.

If Trump can hold, and not get ‘setup (in several senses)’ by the establishment then he’ll steamroll Hillary or Hillary will melt, whichever metaphor fits your imaging.
