A large number of Bernie fans didn't care about Bernie at all
They just hated Hillary so much that they were willing to
get on board with Bernies revolution.

Now that the reality is setting in they're leaving.
Aren't Bernies donations way down as well.

I've seen a lot of Bernie people attacking Hillary with right wing smears from the 90s, but acting like its all new and shocking. Sussing out the real Bernie people from the pretenders is required when dealing with anything related to Bernie.

It isn't about HIllary hate. Bernie's chances have been dwindling for a month. It is understandable that his supporters are less enthused about his candidacy now. It has jack shit to do with how they feel about HIllary.

With only a few states left to vote less traffic makes sense. I'm on primary overload myself but our vote is next week, so i can't take an election break yet.
