Back Bernie and support Clinton

I am a lifelong Republican who happens to be for Hillary Clinton. It was discouraging to see the many Bernie Sanders supporters exit, in protest, the Democratic National Convention floor upon hearing the official nomination of Hillary Clinton Tuesday night July 26. What a heartfelt show of support for Donald Trump.

One day, not that far into the future, people might be wondering; what became of the “Sanders Revolution?” Your desertion of the convention, on national TV no less, and for all to see, has been a real positive and upbeat encouragement for Mr. Trump.

If Trump wins the election, he will know exactly what to do with the “revolution.” Think of a small bug hitting his windshield while going 80 mph. Then imagine he turns on his windshield wipers and cleans the little insignificant bug nuisance away. At the next rest stop he will grab his Windex and annihilate any remaining remnants of the bug (revolution) into history. Trump will boast; “Believe me! I squash em, (revolutions) then I wash them. Believe me; bugs are losers.”

President Donald Trump will make sure that the “revolution,” that should have been, becomes a never was. He will brand Bernie Sanders the same way he brands Sen. John McCain; a “loser.” Please do not choose arrogance over hope, unity and a common sense future.

“Feel the Bern;” and support the “Clinton Mission.”

Trump desires sole possession of the keys to America. Please don’t hand them over without a vote.
