Bernie Supporters Say They're Voting For Trump
You Tube ^ | Jul 29, 2016 | CampusReform

This week at the Democratic National Convention, much of the focus was not on nominee Hillary Clinton, but on Bernie Sanders and his enthusiastic contingent of young supporters.

While some had speculated that Sanders supporters would fall in line after his endorsement of Clinton, it appears that this consolidation has yet to gain any momentum.

Bernie supporters, emboldened by the recent DNC email leak, took to the streets in Philadelphia to voice their displeasure with Hillary and the Democrat party as a whole.

With chants of “Hell no DNC, we won’t vote for Hillary” and “Lock her up,” the protesters made it clear they would not be casting their votes for Hillary Clinton. But who would they be voting for instead?

Campus Reform went to the DNC to speak with these protestors about how they planned to vote in November, and the results will be shocking to many.

“I’m throwing this race to Trump!” said one protester

“I was strong for Bernie, and now I’m taking a stand for Trump," said another.

When asked why he would be voting for Donald Trump, one protester noted that, as he spent “time talking to Trump supporters, we agree on a lot of the major issues that we’re facing in this country. We’re both mad about the same things.”

Citing the anti-establishment nature of the Sanders and Trump campaigns, one protester pointed out that, “for some people, Bernie is the person they stuck with, but there are some anti-establishment things they want, and they’ll go with Trump.”

Nearly every protester we spoke to proudly announced they would be leaving the Democrats for good.

“If Bernie is not the Democratic nominee, then I will certainly leave the Democrat party," one Sanders supporter said.

Another one complained that there “there’s nothing Democratic about this!”

Good.

I’ve said for a long time the DNC rigged the thing for Hillary. It was obvious. The only recourse for these folks is to vote for Trump.

Stop the corrupt DNC machine dead in its tracks.

Many Bern supporters are going to Steyn, not voting, or to Trump. A couple to Johnson. None to the beast.

They really are more like Trump ....

If any are Occupy Wall Street types, they would be crazy to vote for Hillary.

If they agree with Bernie on trade, they cannot support Hillary.

They have little choice but to support Trump. Or they can join in with the very people who totally gamed them.

- Vote Trump
- Write Bernie in
- Go Green
- Go Libertarian

Not all that long ago, many of us were trying to decide what we would do if the RNC stole it from Trump. I know I would’ve written in Trump. I hope these angry Bernie supporters stay angry and actually have the principles they claim. Trump has been courting them from the moment it became obvious the the general public Bernie couldn’t win.

Everything was fixed in favor of The Beast and yet Trump is still ahead. The Federl Bureau of Incompetency will not indict her even though they all agree she is guilty. Comey has lost all credibility. Thr dnc fixed the election in her favor now Debbie whatshername Schultz’ political career is over. And these are just Hillary’s friends protecting her and their careers are over. She has no problem doing anything she has to in order to get in the white house.

I just hope that there are still enough people with some common sense in this country that will not allow her to be president, brcause if she does become president it will be the end of the USA.

I’d already decided to move back to China

Massive fraud always leaves a trail. They’re welcome to try it.

I’m sure Soro’s men are handing out sacks of money now to ensure it.

If it's electronic, how do we see it?

That is why it will be very important for organizations such as “True The Vote” to stay on top of things.

Koch backing Mrs. Bill Clinton is a big plus for Trump getting the Bernie folks, Bernie didn’t like the Koch bros.

Shows the Koch people go where they can buy their candidate. Trump isn’t for sale.

Indeed, as both Bernie Sanders and Jeff Sessions have explained, the Koch brothers support “open borders” immigration policies that will drive down wages for American workers.

Stein’s the better fit. Gary Johnson choosing William Weld is evidence that the Libertarian agenda is shifting to the globalist agenda. ie: elitist former Republicans who think there should be no restrictions on how globalists run the world for their personal benefit.
