I think a lot of Hillary supporters are wrong to believe that many Bernie supporters would support her over Trump. A lot of Bernie's support is not based on his positions or ideology, but on the fact that like Trump, he is seen as an outsider and anti-establishment.

If the D.N.C. wants to go ahead and put out the candidate who cant win and we lose in November, its not because I didnt vote, she said. Its because they were looking out for their interests and not for the better interests of the country.
Not everyone at Mr. Sanderss rallies is dreading a Trump victory, however.
Victor Vizcarra, 48, of Los Angeles, said he would much prefer Mr. Trump to Mrs. Clinton. Though he said he disagreed with some of Mr. Trumps policies, Mr. Vizcarra said he had watched The Apprentice and expected that a Trump presidency would be more exciting than a boring Clinton administration.
A dark side of me wants to see what happens if Trump is in, said Mr. Vizcarra, who works in information technology. There is going to be some kind of change, and even if its like a Nazi-type change. People are so drama-filled. They want to see stuff like that happen. Its like reality TV. You dont want to just see everybody be happy with each other. You want to see someone fighting somebody.

(660 posts)Boy, I've never seen him that way. To me, he seems to be much closer to Clinton than to Trump. I think Sanders feels that way, too. He seems very opposed to Trump. But, we'll see what he says when this is over.

He supports, in one instance, repealing the national minimum wage.
He wants to expel Muslims from the US.
He wants to deport millions of latinos/Hispanics.
He will appoint Supreme Court Justices to repeal Roe V. Wade/
They are not voting for him because he is an outsider. That is just their excuse.
They are voting for him because they want what he will do.
