There is NO WAY the Bernie Bros are going to go out and vote for HRC. In fact, they are not going to vote for ANYONE except Bernie. If the DNC orchestrates the convention for HRC to get the nomination, there are going to be riots in Milwaukee. The BBs are a formidable force in the Democratic party right now. If they don't get their man, they won't vote for another Dem. They will likely push for a 3rd party.

Honestly, who would blame them for being pissed? Two election cycles in a row getting screwed would really, really suck for them.

Can’t argue any of that. The Republicans, despite knowing, FOR SURE, that Trump would get clobbered by Hillary, also knew what would happen if they supported Paul Ryan’s plot to take Trump’s place on the November 2016 ballot...we got the word to them that NO REPUBLICAN was safe, not even at the Dog Catcher level, if they tried that move. The party (obviously) made the right choice, and let Trump get clobbered that year (LOL).

The Dems probably feel empowered by screwing Bernie in 2016, but still getting at least 90% of his voters. But I agree, not happening again - because, among other reasons, after over 3 years of Trump, the world hasn’t ended - even Bernie voters realize that they will still have a country they can live in (even prosper in) if the Trump stays in office.

It will be different this time...I agree on that!
