Published on Jun 26, 2016
55% of Bernie Sanders supporters have stated that they are willing to vote for Hillary Clinton. That leaves a huge chunk of his voters that Clinton needs to win over. Ana Kasparian, Ben Mankiewicz, Jimmy Dore, and John Amato, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down.

My guess is that most of the people who saw Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton on stage today will be supporting Hillary.

And yes, Clinton will have to win them over. Also, Elizabeth Warren may not hold much magic for them...at least the ones I've talked to.

(12,471 posts)and as the Democratic Party's platform committee keep voting against more progressive items, and Clinton adopts them, they may not come around. Can you blame them? Your candidate won nearly 45% of the popular vote and gets no say in the party's platform. Yeah, you, as the party leadership can put members from there on the committee, but when you ignore them, and vote against them, do not expect them to vote for your candidate. Expect them to stay home.
This could be solved by simply adopting some of the other (in the primary) sides points in your platform. That is the way it used to be done. I don't see why it is not being done now.
