Bernie or Busters think they are special, but in truth, Trump has tens of millions of supporters.

And the Bernie or Bust people are actually a pretty small fraction of Trump's constituency. They think by pretending to be progressive, they are more important than people who wave Trump signs, but they aren't.

Bernie or Bust people are not part of Trump's constituency, nor are they pretending to be progressive.

It's sad when being principled is taken by some to be "special". I'd hope that more people be principled than unprincipled.

that Bernie or Busters are dumber than Trump, and don't even understand that they are helping Trump win?

Not implying that you're dumber than Trump or anything, I'd just like a greater understanding of your shit thinking. TIA.

"The continued Democratic primary race appears to be sapping some of Clinton’s strength. She’s losing 20 percent of Bernie Sanders’ supporters to Trump, while winning only 11 percent of leaned Republicans who backed someone other than Trump for their party’s nomination."

Would not vote for a woman compared to female voters in any group. I've seen it in poll after poll.

You've got it backwards. You need Hillary otherwise you get Trump. Hillary needs more votes than Trump, that's true, but you're just one vote.

Bernie or Bust voters aren't any more or less important than any other Trump supporters.
