How many people here believe that Biden can win without Bernie supporters? [View all]

Or is it that we have an inordinate amount of trolls that think otherwise?

Bernie supporters do not want him to drop out right now. It takes 1991 delegates to capture the nomination on the first ballot. Joe Biden now has over 800 votes. Why should they want Bernie to drop out right now?

Joe is not even half-way to the nomination yet. At least, not in votes cast.

I do not trust those folks that are crapping all over the Bernie supporters at this moment. They do not appear to want the Democrats to win?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
