Green Party's Jill Stein to Sanders fans: 'There's a plan B here'
CNN ^ | June 8, 2016 | Eli Watkins

(CNN)As the Democratic primary winds down to a close, Green Party likely nominee Dr. Jill Stein said she wanted Bernie Sanders supporters to "know that there's a plan B here to continue to fight that revolution."

Sanders went from a long-shot candidate to the head of a national progressive movement in months, and Stein said she believed many of his supporters, turned off by presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's record and a bruising primary season, might go Stein's way.

Stein offered condolences to Sanders supporters and praised Sanders for running a "revolutionary" movement that spoke to the issues she also cares about in an interview with CNN Tuesday evening.

"We are here in the event that they feel like they don't have a place to go," Stein said.

There’s a greater chance Bernouts would support the Green party candidate than Trump.

Still, as long as they aren’t voting for Hillary, that would be a win for us!

For some reason I’m reminded of that Who song from Tommy:

They can’t go with hillary if they really believe what they’ve been following. She’s the ultimate no-conscience, no-brains servant of global war interests.

Trump is better choice. Won’t get them the leftist positions and socialism, but as for anti-establishment, Trump is best, meaningful choice that doesn’t throw the vote away with some wasted 3rd party vote.

“There’s a greater chance Bernouts would support the Green party candidate than Trump.”

Probably, but even in their teeny little brains some of them must realize that the “green” candidate is never, ever, ever going to actually win the election.

Therefore, if they want corporate influence out of politics and jobs brought back to the U.S., they’ll go Trump.

Of course, most of them are too stupid to see that or they wouldn’t be Democrats in the first place.

Commies are like Muslims, they form numerous uneasy factions until a strongman takes the whole thing. Bukharin, Trotsky and Zinoviev had LOTS of squabbles until Stalin decided to settle the matter permanently.

I agree! I would like to see a couple of million Bernie supporters shift their support to the Green Party. Come on, Bernie fans! The Democrat Party screwed you with a rigged primary system, now's your chance for some payback!

If Trump wants to attract Burned Bernies, he should announce that adoption of clean coal technology is a bargaining chip in trade agreements with Asia.

Vote for President Trump and you’ll do more to save the environment than all the socialists since Wilson.

Sounds good to me. Bernie voters have lots of choices, Trump, Green Party, Libertarians...

Just not Hillary. Left vs right aside, Hillary is the most corrupt politician in human history and it would be a national disgrace if we elect her president.

Depends on what happens with Bernie's meeting with Obama

Does Obama threaten him if he doesn't support Hillary ?

As long as Red Bernie’s supporters vote for Trump or third party that is a good thing for Trump and only helps him in that they are not voting for the bought and paid for lying crook Madame Mao.
