What will Sanders supporters do if and when Hillary wins the nomination? [View all]

Hillary supporters will support the Dem nominee no matter who it is. How about the Sanders folks? Will they vote for Hillary who, YES, is damn well PROGRESSIVE too (even if not a purist), or will they bitch like hell and make excuses and stay home "in protest" or out of some "purity principle" thus helping the vile rotten RePukelican? Or will they abandon their "progressiveness" entirely and actually go vote for the rotten RePUKE?

If Hillary is the nominee, Sanders supporters damn well get a PROGRESSIVE and should be HIGHLY motivated to defeat the slumlord RePUKE, and anyone who equates Hillary Clinton who is HATED by the right wing with a RePUKE is living in an alternative universe.

So, what will the Sanders people do if he's not the nominee?
