In new CNN poll, Sanders voters favor Clinton over Trump 86-10

Non Trump republican voters favor Trump 76-24.

http://www.vox.com/2016/5/4/11593434/bernie-sanders-poll-trump-clinton

So maybe stop excoriating your allies and potential allies and being such graceless winners. Obviously, that's not all DU Clinton supporters, but the front page of GDP is cluttered with that shit.

This shows the how deeply ignorant such voters are...if Trump is elected...survival will be the important thing. You have no idea how dangerous Trump is...not to mention unqualified...your anger and bitterness over losing the primary has blinded you to the truth.

accomplishing at this point helping Trump...Bernie literally puts words in Trumps mouth which are used against Hillary. It is disgusting. I am not surprised to find that many Bernie supporters ( and don't send me angry posts because I am not singling you out.) are Republicans who will vote for Trump. Trump is dangerous. I hope Hillary beats him soundly for the country's sake...the difference between you and me is this ...had Bernie won the nomination...much as i dislike him, I would have voted for him for the good of the country. I care more for those that Trump would hurt or perhaps kill than any candidate. He is dangerous:not just another Republican candidate like McCain or Romney. My daughter is gay you know...I fear for her safety in a country run by the likes of Trump.

Of course most Sanders supporters favor Clinton over Trump. And of course most who are voting for Sanders now will vote for Clinton in November. All DU posts to the contrary (about independents, about millennials, about white males, etc.) are just noise.

I don't consider her a baby bomber. We have been at war since Bush ...I might add we got Bush because of the candidacy of Nader. Do you think we can be at war and civilians won't die? This is why I hate war. Trump will kill at will...so spare me the lies about Clinton. She has never been president and ordered no troops into war.

I always vote.

And, as a voter, I vote for the person who most aligns with my beliefs and who's policies I think would be best for the country. Whether they win or lose, I like to vote for the greater good NOT the lesser evil.

99% of the time that candidate is usually the Democrat. It looks like, this time, it will not be. (though, we are not at the end yet)

I'll be voting for a LOT of down ballot Dems, though.

Every day we see posts from supposed Sanders fans promoting RW conspiracy theories, and others having no other purpose than to attack Clinton. These people are not interested in unity. Therefore they must be part of that 10%, correct? They are not "potential allies" of Democrats and the Democratic Party, and are most likely pawns of the RW and/or supporters of Trump. The excoriations are completely justified. Why should we not severely criticize them?

If you don't want to be lumped in with them, then that's a distinction you have to show the rest of us - the majority, that is.
