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.

Very well put, worth repeating.
Hey Joe Biden! Remember numb-nuts that it was you and you democratic party that screwed and threw Bernie Sanders and his voters under the bus. Your own party’s selfishness and idiocy caused you problems. And as for you and you party’s ideas about morals, especially after what you’ve done. YOU AND YOUR PARTY HAVE NO MORALS AT ALL!!!
And now they have told you that they won’t vote for Hillary. CAN YOU BLAME THEM AFTER THE WAT YOU TREATED THEM!! Now they know that Hillary is a pathological liar, a deceiver and is morally and ethically corrupt woman.
And as I have said, you and your democratic party didn’t shoot yourselves in the foot, or even in the head by doing this. You shot yourselves in the groin and effectively neutered yourselves in the minds of the Sander’s voters. They are angry and that anger is solely pointed at Hillary and your democratic party for her manipulation of the DNC convention process.
To use a saying that we had in the Army’s Big Red One. Boys I think it’s time for a blanket party, and those jerks are going to get it good!!
