Clinton Endorsement Backfires as Sanders’ Supporters Look to Jill Stein
Observer ^ | 7/13/16 | Michael Sainato

Posted on 07/13/2016 5:11:55 PM PDT by Libloather

“Today, I endorsed Hillary Clinton to be our next president,” Bernie Sanders announced to supporters on July 12, shortly after formally endorsing Clinton at a campaign rally in New Hampshire. “I know that some of you will be disappointed with that decision. But I believe that, at this moment, our country, our values and our common vision for a transformed America are best served by the defeat of Donald Trump and the election of Hillary Clinton.”

This was, unfortunately, the best Sanders could do ahead of the Democratic National Convention to ensure Clinton and her superdelegates don’t vote down every progressive concession he squeezed into the Democratic platform. But fear mongering Donald Trump is not a valid or viable reason to vote for Clinton, and many of Sanders’ supporters won’t be following suit.

Bernie and Hillary’s politics are quite similarly far far far far far left

the reason so many people support Bernie is not because his politics are that much ‘better’ than Hillary’s (well, maybe a few)

but because he appears honest....whereas...well, we know about Hillary....perhaps the most corrupt and lying political hack in modern American history, and then some

Mr Trump CAN reach a significant number of Bernie voters...
as long as DT continues to stress he will CLEAN OUT the IslamoNazis and Corruptoids from WashDC

For Hillary, Leftist policy is just a means to an end.
Bernie actually believes in it.

And if they are smart they will rinse their eyes with bleach.

If I was trump I would say to Bernie’s supporter that in good conscience I cant promise you the things that Bernie wants but like Bernie I am honest I wont be selling the office. My suggestion is self serving but a good one for you to fallow. give me your vote and keep Hillary out of this office you can always vote against me four years from now and try and bring in a socialist like you want but voting in Hillary would be a big mistake. If you vote for me I hope through action and results to have your vote four years from now because you trust built up over this time

Yes, maybe too good to be true. If even one or two percent of Bernie Supporters shift the Green Party, that right there could put Trump in the Oval Office.

Thank you, Dems!

I found it very interesting that although the Green Party and Ms. Stein have never expressed any support for the Second Amendment (indeed they abhor it), in the current Stein platform (available at her web page), there is absolutely NO mention of guns, gun rights, or the need to ‘restrict’ gun owners.

I still wouldn’t trust them anymore than the proverbial prostate exam from Cap’n Hook.

Methinks Bernie received a big fat check.
