CT voter: Sanders “got too negative and personal....so I switched to Hillary"

Connecticut primary voters didn’t let this morning’s cold rain keep them away from the polls.

Outside the Hartford Seminary, Geri Sullivan walked slowly beneath a large, dripping umbrella and talked about how tough she found the choice between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.

“My heart was with Sanders, but my head was with Hillary,” she said. “I’ve been really torn.”

Sullivan eventually landed in the Clinton column because, she said, in the last couple of weeks Sanders “got too negative and personal, writing the Republican ads in November, so I switched to Hillary. I thought he was above that.”

Pre-election polls show a tight race on the Democratic side in Connecticut, where both Sanders and Clinton have stumped in recent days,

Just one voter, but that narrative is picking up.

The BSers can blame whoever they want for his demise. At the end of the day, it's his own effing fault.

For every one Geri Sullivan there 100 more who are going to flip.

Methinks our gal is going to do exceptionally well tonight after seeing the dark side of Bernie and his fan base.

Big time. Tech people don't like to be used. At all. And everyone else I've talked to just laughs at the idea that she's so powerful that she can shut down Facebook.

The "unqualified corporate whore" stuff was over the line. And then Bernies attack on Democratic fundraising showed which side he was on.
