Sanders supporters for Clinton

Seems like it's time for this thread. Let's start with the big one:

Sanders: I'll fight to keep Republican out of White House if I'm not nominee

George Takei scolds Bernie supporters who would rather “bust” than vote for Hillary

Quote:

“If Bernie believes that,” he said, “his supporters can too.”

Takei noted he spent time in a Japanese internment camp during WWII for "looking like the enemy" when he was interviewed by Chris Hayes on MSNBC. Takei thinks Trump's message is in the same vein.

Will Bernie Supporters Vote for Hillary if He Loses? What a Bunch of Backers at His L.A. Rally Say.
Despite the current polls:

Quote:

I asked nearly a dozen Sanders supporters what they would do if Bernie lost, and nearly every one of them indicated that they would support Clinton in a general election. A handful of them said they would do so enthusiastically. The animating factor seemed to be Donald Trump.... Jenna Steckel, 25, said she was too traumatized by Ralph Nader and hanging chads costing Al Gore the 2000 election (during which she was 9) to ever vote for a third-party candidate, even though her “politics are aligned with [perennial Green Party candidate] Jill Stein.”

Relax—Bernie’s Supporters Will Back Hillary If She’s the Nominee

Quote:

But if history is any guide, a mass defection of Democrats and Dem-leaning independents is the last thing anyone should worry about. We’ve seen this before and we know how it will play out. Ironically, in 2008 it was Clinton supporters vowing to stay home—or vote for John McCain—if Obama became the nominee. At the time, that same HuffPo columnist warned that “balkanized Democrats could give the White House to John McCain.” That May, primary exit polls found less than half of Hillary Clinton’s supporters in Indiana and North Carolina saying they’d consider voting for Obama in the general election. Even in early July, after Obama had secured the nomination, only 54 percent of Clinton backers said they planned to vote for him. Those self-described “PUMAs”—“party unity my ass”—may have stayed home by the dozens that November, but at the end of the day nine out of 10 Democrats supported Obama in an election that featured the highest turnout in 40 years. A similar dynamic played out with Howard Dean supporters in 2004.
