Fervent Bernie Sanders loyalists took to the streets in scorching heat again Monday, some crossing into the city over the Benjamin Franklin Bridge from New Jersey while others marshaled at City Hall to march down Broad Street toward the Democratic National Convention on its opening day.

At least three of the protesters collapsed in the intense heat and one woman, who made it across the bridge into Philadelphia, was taken away on a stretcher for medical treatment.
“All peaceful so far,” said Police Commissioner Richard Ross Jr., on Broad Street with the crowd. “We’re more worried about the heat at this point.”
Ross said the protesters seemed to be “happy with the police presence.”
As the crowd left City Hall, some chanted “Bernie Sanders not for sale.” Many supporters carried signs for Green Party candidate Jill Stein, and others anti-Hillary Clinton signs.
“I don't want to settle for somebody,” said Roger Tomlinson, 31, of Oklahoma City. He said he was holding out hope that Sanders will still be the party’s nominee or would run as a third-party candidate. If not, Tomlinson said he would vote for Stein.
He said he was not worried about a Trump victory in spite of the Sanders faction’s opposition.
“I think if Trump wins, then people will make it not happen,” he said, suggesting Trump could be impeached.
