About 10-15 percent of people will "throw Bernie under the bus" if the time comes for him to support Clinton.

Others will listen, accept it and make up thier own minds of what to do.

And Bernie is absolutely correct. If she is the nominee it will her job to convince them that she actually does want to represent them at least as much as Goldman Sachs.
