Sanders implied throughout that Hillary is "corrupt" and the result was that his base reviles her. Thank goodness most of us didn't fall for it.

Now she's up in polls and even strongest among those under age 44.

But the truth is coming out even stronger now about how qualified Hillary actually is to be President.. in spite of sanders, the m$m, the gop & trump.

By November the whole Country will know how great she is!

You can't tell everyone it is a rigged, corrupt system for the last half century, build a campaign demonizing that rigged, corrupt system, and then tell all your fans, "Time to support the rigged, corrupt system!"

That's not very revolutionary.

Let's hope he just fades away.

about right.. not a leader. Especially after filling their heads for a year with disingenuous bullshit on now bad she is.

Does he think they're going to get automatically deprogrammed bc he says so.

We predicted this.. how could we not?

He knew how his supporters and surrogates were behaving and he encouraged it and seemed to relish it.

He "lead" them to this place, if we can even use the word "lead".

Now begging them to do his "Revolution" as per podcast and "Uniting" as per a tweet. WOW! LEADERSHIP! WOW!

call them on it afterwards..

And, you're right.. now he sends out a tweet about working with Hillary?! hope he enjoys the response he deserves.

".. do his revolution.." he's not exactly the template for a happening revolution.

Look to President Obama and Hillary for that.

I stayed out of the primary completely but it turned up in my feed daily. I couldn't get over the level of hatred from the Bernie folks. It often seemed as though I were reading a hardcore rethug site or something. It was unhealthy for them and distressing to see.

I reckon now Sanders will really see the power he has had over these supporters and realize how he might have better directed all the energy.

You know that on Monday.. only those supporting Hilary will be allowed on DU.. so we can bounce all over the board.

Now they are all screeching about how we need to be "nice" to them so they will vote for her. After the way they talked all during the primary, they need to be issuing apologies not expecting us to beg and plead for their votes.

Is unfortunately one of those tin foil hat wearing Bernie Fanatics, who honestly believes that Hillary "STOLE" every state she won during the primaries. Yeah, I don't even speak to her any longer she's so far "out there" and filled with this type of conspiracy theory nonsense. Now, when I say Bernie Fanatic, I mean a Bernie supporter whose so devoid of reality that they think Hillary was in on some big plot which was hatched that stopped Bernie from becoming president. I have dear friends who are very passionate Bernie supporters who live across this country who shake their head @ or laugh at Bernie Fanatics (Most of these friends are supporting Hillary in the GE).They can't believe what the Bernie Fanatics are saying as it relates to states being rigged for Hillary and stolen from Bernie.

Oh, and judging from some of those FB posts/comments I read, some of those Bernie supporters aren't too happy with Bernie's decision to support/endorse Hillary down the line at some point. Are they going to throw Sanders under the bus along with Elizabeth Warren or with anybody who now supports Hillary Clinton? Yikes, tough crowd

Then Donald started talking about the rigged system because he was aware of the "contested talk" and because Cruz was actively stealing delegates from already won States...

Then BS campaign started talking about both and therefore here in DU too, BernieDUers. Copied first from the GOP primaries.

Now Trump uses the terms again to "romance" BS supporters: He'll take care of them, reaaaaaaaaaal good!

I agree with you.

with "evil hillary" "$hillary" "oligarch" "lesser of two evils" for the last year, are any one of us surprised at the reactions to that tweet? I know I'm not. Disgusted? You bet.

The worst part about all this, is I don't think he knows how to fix it, nor do I think he particularly cares to.
