Sanders supporters use email to attack Indiana super delegates

The Indiana Democratic primary is still more than two months away, but some supporters of Bernie Sanders are already on the attack. They’re using email to attack Hillary Clinton supporters.

Nine of them are super delegates who are free to support either candidate. They include Cordelia Lewis-Burks, who plans to support Hillary Clinton.

Well, I’ve been called some terrible names and derogatory names as far as race is concerned,” said Lewis-Burks, who is African American.

The Sanders supporters who are sending the emails believe their candidate could win a majority of primary votes and yet lose the Democratic nomination because of the super delegates.

Attempting to bully people into supporting Sanders does nothing but creating headlines like this.

“You and the rest of the super delegates are making a huge mistake,”

“You might as well be a Republican,”

“You have been bought and sold by the Democratic Party just like Hillary has been,”

Another suggests that voting for Clinton is “throwing your vote away.”

What a joke of a story...her poor feelings were hurt...boo...hoo

Maybe she should join the "Hillary Clinton" safe zone her on DU so nobody can object to any decision or comment she makes...
