When Bernie enthusiastically endorses Clinton for President

[Johnny2X2X]

How will Bernie supporters react? He's going to campaign for her too and be an strong ally once she's in office.

And the reverse, if Bernie secures the nomination, how will Clinton supporters react after Hillary endorses Sanders and starts campaigning for him?

I ask, because I see some supporters posting article after article that are straight up Republican talking points about either candidate.

1. I'm looking forward to the meltdowns by HA Goodman and that angry youtube woman.

4. I'm looking forward to your meltdown

2. Why don't you wait for the Convention. nt

[MineralMan]

7. That's an interesting suggestion.

It's one I wish more people thought about, really. We still have many primary elections to come. Eventually, we will know who the nominee will be.

For me, the primary season is over. Now, I'm waiting for the convention to tell me which candidate I will be campaigning for to help win the general election.

I do wonder what some will do, though, if the candidate they are currently attacking becomes the nominee. I think it will be difficult for many to walk back those attacks, which will remain visible long after the convention.

14. "For me, the primary season is over." - i know how you mean it - you have caucused (wink wink).

You don't mean it in the sense "She's got it in the bag."

[MineralMan]

17. Oh, I'm about 95% sure that Hillary will be the nominee.

This is not about that. I'll gladly support and campaign for either of the candidates.

[VulgarPoet]

43. I know full well I won't be able to walk anything back.

I also wouldn't want to. I have no faith in her whatsoever.

[redstatebluegirl]

3. I will vote for the nominee of the Democratic Party as I always have.

Some I have liked more than others but the alternative terrifies me.

[haikugal]

5. Examples please? Links? Thanks.

[redstateblues]

6. Hillary is a good Democrat. I consider myself one and I'd vote for Bernie

if he won. I think it would be very rough sledding for him in the GE as he has been handled with kid gloves by Hillary and the media. He has never had to face a Republican attack machine the way Hillary has for decades-what he's faced so far is dodgeball.

8. When Sanders endorsed Clinton....

The group of Paul supporters that jumped on board with him will act out with righteous indignation, some others will go back home to supporting Stein, the democrats supporting him will say it wasn't our day and love his endorsement.

When Clinton endorsed Sanders...... It will be pretty much met with silent acceptance that he will be the best choice in the GE.

You are correct about the republican talking points. It has really taken a lot away from du.

30. GOP memes? You mean like "giving away free stuff"?

31. What are you talking about and what does it have to do with my post? nt.

33. "You are correct about the republican talking points. It has really taken a lot away from du"

[NCTraveler]

35. I was talking more about Judicial Watch being a trusted source for some members here.

Did you see my link where DFA was using "republican talking points"?

I don't call that "free stuff" and find it irresponsible to do so. I think anyone who does go out there calling it "free college education" and the like are doing a great disservice to our fight for a better society.

I still don't get the point you are trying to make. That is you concern when Judicial Watch is promoted here?

[Armstead]

39. You are objecting to right wing talking points

I won't disagree with you about using Judicial Watch as a source.

But Clinton supporters regularly add otehr Republican talki9ng points (right wing memes) to the discussion, such as the use of the term "free stuff" to refer to any public programs and benefits. It's a favorite conservative put-down of liberal policies.

So if you object to how republican talking points detract from DU, you might also want to object to it whatever the source.

Correct.

9. We'll wake up and that HRC dream will have ended....

22 primaries left, 56% or better from those remaining for Bernie to beat HRC

So the question is.... when HRC enthusiastically endorses Bernie for President... and the response is????

[KingFlorez]

10. That will never happen

Assuming that Clinton wins the nomination, Sanders isn't going to endorse her. There is no way he could seriously endorse her without looking like a hypocrite and part of the establishment he has railed against.

[Recursion]

19. Really? Because Sanders has stressed over and over again how much he respects her and her work

It's the part of his speeches a lot of his supporters seem to gloss over.

[R B Garr]

22. That's what I thought, too. Plus his ego is

too involved and he can hide behind his Independent status to justify anything. He obviously can compromise his Independent "honesty" when he needs to use the party, but I bet he would have no problem dumping on the party on his way out.

[PonyUp]

11. Bernie is the messenger, not the message. I still won't vote for her IF she wins nomination. n/t

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

13. Well said.

[RiverLover]

27. You nailed it.

Another

[auntpurl]

12. If Bernie wins...

Hillary will stump for him with a smile on her face and be as enthusiastic as she was for Obama. That's exactly as it should be, and as a Hillary supporter I would expect nothing less and would be disappointed with her if she didn't.

I expect the exact same from Bernie. He better be out there, stumping like mad with a smile on his face, kissing babies and telling everyone how much he is loving Hillary and her platform. Just as she would do for him.

[Zorra]

15. When Clinton supports Trump after Bernie is nominated, how will

Clinton supporter react?

[Nonhlanhla]

42. April Fools joke, eh?

[Gwhittey]

16. So glad you posted this

There is actually finally some posts on issues related to Hillary on this forum and Hillary supporters are posting to them. We need more posts like this one to drive the actually issue debates off the front page. Them make Hillary look bad because she "borrowed" most of them from Sanders and all the faux attacks about Sanders is just not cutting it.

[BernieforPres2016]

18. Another loyalty oath thread!

And another Hillary supporter goes to Ignore.

[99Forever]

20. Cripes. Another lameass cheap attempt at a loyalty oath.

A another stinking turd in my Trash Bin.

[killbotfactory]

21. He's going to demand concessions from the party

and then try to rally people to vote so we can retake congress.

Hillary won't need much help, considering the turds in the GOP who are running.

[ibegurpard]

24. They will make up their own minds

[basselope]

26. If that day comes, they will vote their conscience.

I don't vote for republicans, so I can't vote for Clinton.

[Tarc]

28. "How will Bernie supporters react"...most will follow suit, just as her supporters did in 2008.

Don't think for a moment that the DU Sanders users are representative of the whole.

[Robbins]

29. well let's wait

this fight should be over the fact it's still going on says a lot.

myself and many other bernie supporters won't support her even if bernie endorses her.

Clinton supporters have to worry about winning in november especilly after calling bernie supporters every name in the book and moving to the right to bash bernie and what he and we believe in.

[demwing]

32. Fuck this endless shit

Fuck it

[TheFarseer]

34. If she stops TPP and enacts campaign finance reform.

Bernie and I will enthusiastically support her. Not holding my breath for that though. This fall, she will probably have to settle for tacit support.

[Betty Karlson]

36. The presumptive "when" is starting to rile me all the wrong ways. eom

[LexVegas]

37. Not worried about it. Bernie and most of his supporters will fall in line behind the nominee. nt

[Orsino]

38. Another goddamned "supporters" thread. n/t

[jillan]

41. Well I know one person that will not enthusiastically endorse Hillary....
