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!”
You mean they weren’t wowed by her white pantsuit?
Does not matter how they vote..all votes go 100 percent to the dems
Pretty Trump won.
What a great idea.
I am going to go to the dem campaign headquarters to get a hiLIARy sign for my yard.
And then I will mark out the H, I and Y.
Thanks!
Face the reality, Trump won.
And, yes there is some common cause. Especially the desire to destroy the established order and THEN fight it out amongst ourselves.
Both camps recognize the Established Order is against us, the American People. Until they are brought to ruin nothing changes.
Thus my tagline from the olden days: First the GOP must die. Everything else comes after that.
We're in the "everything else" stage now.
Trump needs to play this smart. He needs to woo the Sanders supporters. But he also needs to avoid insulting Bernie himself. So far, Trump has failed in that regard.
It would be more effective to color in those letters in a shade that would leave them readable yet more blended into the background. Thus the statement of HILLARY LIAR would be more clearly communicated.

A political winner even if it is bad politics.
Thanks for posting this.
YouTube video. I don’t know what HC-68 means on screen overlay, but it’s kinda ironic given the song.

Yup! Was just thinking the same thing myself! If they’re smart, they won’t make lawn signs with the name Hillary on them. Just a big H logo or Clinton.
Welcome aboard losers. But just shut up and vote.
Ugly Bernie lost.
Ugh.
Correction:
Pretty MUCH Trump won!
We have to help them approach the situation logically, and come to this conclusion.
what does that mean? And if you’re so negative about the outcome why bother posting. when it comes to voter fraud does anybody do anything on this forum except bitch and whine? Do they contact Congressman. Do they try to contact Trump. Do they join the groups that monitor voting? are they making calls for Trump to get as many people out there to counter the fraud as possible? Do they donate to Trump? Or is whining while eating a burger easier?
I'd rather they just go home and pout and not vote.
