By November I'm pretty sure most Bernie supporters will realize blocking a Trump presidency is more important than being sore losers.
Same here. That's how I learned of the #bernieorbust pledge. Even BWW's own ErikJ972 has stated he won't vote for Clinton under any circumstances.
I saw this posted by a friend:
"'Bernie or Bust' supporters who think they can just write in Bernie's name or petition for Bernie to run as an Independent in the general election are in for a big surprise. There are "Sore Loser Laws" in many states.
In the following states write-Ins are not counted AT ALL:
Arkansas
Hawaii
Louisiana
Mississippi
Nevada
New Mexico
Oklahoma
South Dakota
In the following states, there are Sore-Loser Laws (which means if a candidate was on the ballot for a primary in that state, then they can't run under another party or as an independent):
Georgia
Illinois
Indiana
North Carolina
South Carolina
Missouri
Oregon
Washington
In the following states, the candidates must file as a write-in candidate (and some of these states also have Sore Loser Laws) in order for a write-in to count:
Alaska
Arizona
Colorado
Connecticut
Florida
Idaho
Kentucky
Kansas
Maryland
Massachusetts
Montana
Minnesota
Montana
Nebraska
New York
North Dakota
Ohio
Rhode Island
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Virginia
West Virginia
Wyoming
So - ONLY in the following States can a voter write-in any name they want, and their votes will be counted
Alabama
California
Delaware
IowaJ
Maine
New Hampshire
New Jersey
Pennsylvania
Vermont
Wisconsin
So this is a very sad message to Bernie or Bust supporters. If you were to write him in, his name will only be counted in a total of 10 states, without him filing as an write-in candidate. And even if he does file as an write-in candidate, at least 8 states have sore loser laws."

I've been dealing with some of these PUMA True Bernievers today. To a person, they think their moves will "send a powerful message" that they won't stand for the status quo. You wanna send a message? Use Western Union.
Most Bernie supporters are going to vote for Hillary, Erik dosen't have to, if she can't carry Jersey without his vote she's gonna lose anyway. I'm glad Trump is winning. I think we will lose to anyone else with Clinton. Tonight, Minnesota, Massachusetts, he needs to win those two to put a positive spin on this thrashing.
I have finally decided to vote for Hillary. I was voting for her to start with but got a bit swayed by Sanders for a bit.
Saw something interesting this morning, seems some voters today switched parties and voted for Trump to try to force a Trump/Clinton election and then plan to vote for Hillary in Nov.
Do you have a link for that, uncageg?
Oy, the melodrama!

We laughed when Reagan announced he was running for president. We were sorry we laughed.
I'm glad Trump is winning.
And you sir, are an idiot.

I know someone who switched parties to vote against Trump. I haven't heard anyone idiotic enough to admit to make the switch to vote for him as some kind of strategic thing.
Barney is the president! Congrats, Barney!

I'm thinking the Hillactionaries might want to take a deep breath and step back a teeny bit from their I'm-not-going-to-call-it-misogyny-because-it-triggers-them and ask themselves, "What ARE voters of color seeing in Hillary that all our heartfelt argued True Berniever narratives are obscuring from our vision?"
Just a sugjesh.

Oh, Plum: Never underestimate the Mensa-like insights of the gay adult performer set. To wit:

When called on it, Mr Jackman (get it?) replied, "Guys, guys, nothing can be further from the truth than calling me a Trump supporter, my strategy... blah blah blah..." Well, Jesse, people never actually voting for Drumpf are much further from the truth of being a Drumpf supporter than you are.
I'll vote for anyone Jesse and Dirk tell me to vote for.

I'd vote for whatever might make testicles human sized again.
Colonel Sanders says he'll do that. Barney for testicles!

Feel the seven herbs and spices!
If he dressed up as the colonel and gave out fried chicken, I'd laugh so hard, I just might vote for him.
