Hillary Clinton

I think people have started to see a side to BS that they really don't like.

He's not supporting Democrats. He attacks HRC insinuating she's corrupt. Jane says he and Clinton are "not on the same page." He won't release his tax returns. He dismissed the south, and said poor people don't vote. His campaign platform is the same four statements made over and over again. He whines about the primary process. It hurts him because he's not a Democrat. He can't do math and/or can't admit he can't win. He expects concessions of some kind in order to endorse the Democrat in the race.

AND way too many of his supporters are real jerks. Sorry, but they are.

I think the tide is turning.

I really believed his was a campaign of ideas, at first. The ugliness of his campaign and its supporters really stunned me. I still don't get the strategy but I'm wondering if there ever was one. They got big heads because of big rally crowds and got, well, evangelical, in their actions.

It's been a big disappointment. I used to admire the guy.

from online and real-world friends who are the "reasonable" sort of Sanders supporter.

Support is starting to erode, and many are now seeing a side of Sanders they don't like.

One put it, "I'll vote for a 6 out of 10 because she can at least get 4 of it. Why would I vote for somebody I think is a 9 out of 10 if I seriously believe he can't push even 1 of that through Congress?"

I was undecided/leaning Sanders up until a few days ago. That dustup you had with two predators pissed me off. I realized how much of that I was seeing. Of course when the candidate himself models similar behavior to his opponent, it was time to make a hard choice.
