Do they listen to Sanders and support Hillary, or does their candidate go under the bus?

I guess there's a third option, ie: respectfully disagree...but I think it's one thing to disagree on the nuances of a policy advocated by your candidate and quite another to reject a call for unity backed up by ones vote.

I would hope they back Hillary.

Green party or republican party with the tinfoil firmly attached to their skulls!

Lots of them will throw Bernie himself right the hell under the bus!

Wait and see.

that he absolutely deserves it. Maybe the results if his campaign will discourage future Democrats from relying on angry Gamer-Gaters as a core constituency.

I hope they will also get the message that you can't shut out women and PoC in the democratic party if you want to succeed.
