It would save a lot of tedious work combing through the voting lists to fine the possible Bernie supporters.

except Bernie votes for Her and tells all of us to vote for Her. That way she will feel very good about herself and it will give her confidence before being schlonged by Donald Trump.

And these people call themselves Democrats! Fuck 'em ... and fuck the party. Bernie or bust!

And just to let you Hillarians know, I'm a 44-year running registered Democrat who has always voted Democrat up and down the ticket every frigging election.

I will vote again this year, but if Hillary gets the nom, I'll reserve my Dem votes to the down-ticket candidates (fortunately I have 2 great progressives who represent me in Congress -- Merkely and DeFazio, so no party loyalty votes for me -- just damn good people to vote for). At any rate, Hillary will not get my vote (my wife convinced me finally that I need to vote for what I think is best for our country) -- I'll be writing in Bernie.

my vote for someone other than Hillary will matter to me ... and I suspect the millions of non-Repiblican votes for someone other than Hillary nationally will not go unnoticed.
