In reply to the discussion: Dear Mrs Clinton: some well-meant advice from an irrevocably lost voter [View all]markj757
(194 posts)and when Hillary looses, I'm sure President Trump or President Cruz will welcome you and your community with open arms. And yes....of course I'm being sarcastic, but my point is this....I may prefer Hillary over Bernie in the primary, but as long as Bernie wins fair and square (without the need for super delegates), I would be honored to vote for Bernie and call him my President. I won't even waste my time trying to convince the Bernie folks on DU of doing the same, but if we loose this election, (which will most likely mean loosing a Supreme Court pic to swing the court), I will be curious to see what every Bernie supporter (who won't vote for Hillary) posts over the next 4 to 8 years. I'm sure their post will mostly be about their so called principled stand they took to stop Hillary from becoming President at any cost, and not about the damage being inflicted on our great country by a Trump or Cruz Presidency. And if damage sounds like hyperbole or over the top language, just remember the Iraq War and the sacrifices we made in blood and treasure because of a misguided neo-con republican President who was only incompetent. Now imagine how much damage an extreme right wing nut job like Trump or Cruz can do to this country with the full power of the Presidency.
