Hillary Clinton tells Bernie Sanders backers: ‘When this nomination is wrapped up,’ join me

-snip-
On Tuesday in Iowa, Clinton did little to change the perception that she's running for president as if her primary is already over.

Asked by an audience member what she would say to disillusioned Sanders supporters, Clinton had a tough message.

"I think it's very dangerous to look at the alternatives and believe that your staying home is a responsible choice," Clinton said. "It's hard for me to believe that anybody who would support Senator Sanders would want to see any of the Republicans elected president of the United States.

"I would just ask that when this nomination is wrapped up that they come and join with us to make sure that we don't turn the White House back over to the Republicans," she added.

How can someone who continually, repeatedly screws up her campaign believe she'll win the nomination?

A bit premature, Hill. As for this Bernie supporter, it's not going to happen.

I'll probably vote for Jill Stein if Hillary wins the primaries. Hillary isn't going to change anything. My state will be blue whichever way I vote anyway. And if it somehow changes alliances, maybe the Democratic Party should take it as a sign that it can't keep doing business as usual.

Editing for a coming reality (there are no actual Sanders quotes in this response)

-snip-
On Tuesday in Iowa, Sanders did little to change the perception that He is running for president as if the billionaire class isn't shitting their pants.

Asked by an audience member what he would say to disillusioned Clinton supporters, Sanders had a tough message.

Join me in taking America back from the billionaire class and bringing the Democratic Party back to its core principles. Hillary Clinton ran a good campaign, but now that it is over, let us all unite and send a message to Wall Street that this election cannot be bought and paid for by a handful of people in this country.

She's making a lot of the same mistakes and presumptions she did in the '08 campaign. Not too bright.

is a responsible choice.

I am better than a Republican is not a very persuasive. In fact it is insulting. Also insinuating we are just going to stay home. No that isn't going to happen.

there are a few things that could happen

1. Write in your candidates name who ever it is

2. Vote for Jill Stein or another liberal candidate

3. Register to vote with the Independent party and maybe vote for Democrats in Presidential elections and Independents whenever they are a viable alternative

4. Work endlessly to force the Democratic party to move left

5. Stay home and forget about voting down ticket

So, she really thinks she is the only game in town. Ha, we got news for her.
