Bernie will continue to use the platform he has

To push his issues. Issues near and dear to him for decades. His supporters will continue to be glad he's doing so and will continue to support him. These issues are bigger than this primary, bigger than this election cycle and will not be going away. If that's inconvenient too bad. Be glad he's made it clear he's committed to beating Trump and is a man of his word and won't run third party.

This movement is not going away. Bernie's tapped into something very potent in the country. The Democratic Party can embrace it or become less and less relevant because this is where we're going as a country. Young people are not buying what the party is selling.

They are making it hard to want to vote for her. Even when you say you will vote her in November, you are still trashed. It's a really stupid strategy.

But the fact that so many young people were drawn to his message and ideas matters. It tells you where things are heading.

I am female.

Bernie and his supporters have been called everything under the sun.

(Disqualify him, defeat him, and unify the party later)

I don't buy what the Hillary supporters are selling, or what

the 'Democratic' Party is pushing.

I am so very proud of my candidate !!!

Bernie is a man of integrity and sound judgement.

He has earned my respect.

He has earned my admiration.
