While some had speculated that Sanders supporters would fall in line after his endorsement of Clinton, it appears that this consolidation has yet to gain any momentum. Bernie supporters, emboldened by the recent DNC email leak, took to the streets in Philadelphia to voice their displeasure with Hillary and the Democrat party as a whole. With chants of “Hell no DNC, we won’t vote for Hillary” and “Lock her up,” the protesters made it clear they would not be casting their votes for Hillary Clinton. But who would they be voting for instead? Campus Reform went to the DNC to speak with these protestors about how they planned to vote in November, and the results will be shocking to many. “I’m throwing this race to Trump!” said one protester “I was strong for Bernie, and now I’m taking a stand for Trump," said another. When asked why he would be voting for Donald Trump, one protester noted that, as he spent “time talking to Trump supporters, we agree on a lot of the major issues that we’re facing in this country. We’re both mad about the same things.” Citing the anti-establishment nature of the Sanders and Trump campaigns, one protester pointed out that, “for some people, Bernie is the person they stuck with, but there are some anti- establishment things they want, and they’ll go with Trump.” Nearly every protester we spoke to proudly announced they would be leaving the Democrats for good. “If Bernie is not the Democratic nominee, then I will certainly leave the Democrat party," one Sanders supporter said. Another one complained that there “there’s nothing Democratic about this!” Watch the video to see the rest of their responses. Poster Comment: This video was taken the day after HildaBeast's "free stuff" speech, so it's somewhat hopeful for Trump. Time will tell.

Here's an interesting map that shows some possible combinations of states Trump needs to win to get the WH - young Bernie voters might be considered "independents" at this point in time.
That video is rich. Most of Bernie's supporters are going for Trump. LOL TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT! "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
