They're just trying to ensure that the Dems have a weak candidate come the GE, to ensure a Republican victory.

(5,761 posts)that there are those Republicans who support Sanders, who knows.
Isn't THAT what we need though as a country? To bring people together? I know many Republicans who have become completely disenfranchised with what their party has become and remember, Republicans helped get Sanders elected in VT. There are quite a few Ike Republicans left but their voices have become very drowned out by the Tea Party.
Those Republicans can be found here https://www.facebook.com/republicansforbernie and you can read about them here http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/06/23/1395700/-Republicans-for-Bernie-Sanders and here http://www.salon.com/2015/08/21/republicans_for_bernie_sanders_why_the_democratic_socialist_is_sweeping_his_home_state_partner/ and here http://samuel-warde.com/2015/07/republicans-for-bernie-sanders/

And I said 'Democrats,' not 'Ike Republicans,' because they would be Democrats today, not wasting a Second diddling around with a group that would elect George W. Bush or make Trump their frontrunner.
There are actually and sadly enough they are supporting Trump. One look at Twitter will show you that. Do I agree with it? Hell no.
You're not wasting a second yet you fail to realize these very same people got Bernie elected to begin with. (the ones I mention, not Janey)
