And your statement: "Yes, a small number of Sanders supporters stayed home" doesn't reflect the real truth of the matter.

Fully 12% of people who for Sanders in the 2016 primaries switched and voted for Trump....yes, they voted FOR Trump in 2016 against the Democratic nominee. The figures further show that Hillary would have won if just a small fraction of these 12% would have voted for the Democratic candidate in some key states. Please stop with the nonsense. Just stop.

"Fully 12 percent of people who voted for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., in the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries voted for President Trump in the general election. That is according to the data from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study — a massive election survey of around 50,000 people."

It's not working out so good for them now, is it? Trump has been a disaster. Sanders, if by some fluke he should happen to win will be equally disastrous. It is so very important to make the correct choices in life.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
