Bernie Sanders supporters have proven themselves to be an unpredictable bunch. Now, many are throwing political ideology out of the window altogether. Rather than supporting the much more ideologically-aligned Hillary Clinton, many are choosing Trump.
Sanders’ supporters have long been accused of being a cult of personality. It was said that, no matter what, they would stand behind their far-left candidate. They stood behind him after is was clear he was going to lose the nomination to Clinton, and supported him when he said he was going to take the fight all the way to the convention, even if he didn’t have the requisite delegates to become the nominee.
Then, suddenly, something changed at Team Sanders. The socialist senator abruptly endorsed Clinton and began campaigning on her behalf. Recent leaks suggest that the Clinton team exchanged favors — like a private plane — in order to buy Bernie out. Still, many expected that Sanders’ supporters would follow wherever he lead.
As we saw last week at the DNC, this wasn’t the case. They booed their own candidate, protested Hillary Clinton, and staged a walkout when Sanders released his delegates to the Democrat nominee.
See what many plan to do now that their man has sold out on the next page:
Good. I haven’t seen one single bumper sticker for Hillary or Trump for that matter, but I think, because I’ve heard it that Trump supporters fear vandalism and no one wants them to know they would vote for Hillary. I have seen a few Bernie signs, but under 5.
Only the smart ones. Only the smart ones…
Guess they finally felt the bern when he was paid to support clinton
What a dumb thing to say.
Yep corrupt politics as usual! Bought n sold your soul Bernie!!!
Not that Trump is great, but I don’t blame them.
He wont forget you or let you down
I hope so.
I wouldnt put a name on my property for fear of vandalism
take the wisdom of an old person. NO ON HILLARY. TRUMP IS OUR BEST CHANCE TO STOP ALL THE POLITICIANS FROM THEIR MONEY GRUBBING AND DEALS
