Hillary deserves much better than the support of Bernie Sanders. There are lots of votes available to Hillary that Bernie has no control over. Far better to spend time and energy on those groups.

Judging by the interview with the BOBs on cable news, they appear to be fully indoctrinated in a cultish way. Sanders has filled them with a hatred of Hillary that seems part of them now. I don't think they will change if he supports her or not. I think the best that we can hope for is that they stay home in November.
