Sigh. Sanders supporters on Twitter already busy attacking Booker for endorsing Biden.

Maybe I missed it in earlier campaigns, but can any DUers remember past primary races where the supporters of one candidate were so desperate to trash any politician -- especially former candidates -- who endorsed another candidate?

I haven't seen any Biden supporters trashing the politicians who endorsed Sanders.

Here's a sample of the tripe being posted by those Sanders supporters going after Booker:

So it looks like some of Sen Sanders' supporters are following the Trump supporters playbook.

What his supporters are missing is these Democrats are not for the actual person, even though they may support some of his ideas. In the end, almost all voters will be voting for a person first and foremost. Who can beat Trump, who can help bring along down ballot races, and who can exercise the necessary leadership to repair the damage caused by Trump and bring about positive change?

With only two people left in the race, the contrasts are very clear now.

They are making themselves so obvious and so ridiculous, no one is taking them seriously. They're not going to be able to do as much damage to Biden or have as much impact on the general election as everyone once thought.
