to not send any money to Trump and send it all to Bernie instead so they won't get tempted.

This will starve Trump of funds ensuring his defeat.

...in and of itself, will be enough to lead our country at large, into a socialist nirvana. How could tRump possible withstand that?

Attack the party you just joined, belittle their leader, belittle their future leader. Then go on nation wide Television, Radio, News Papers and Internet to point out your party's faults according to your own narrow ideology. Imply that you cannot endorse or support your party's candidate, but that you will grudgingly vote for her because she is, somewhat, better than the Fascist Strong Man who is running against her.

One might be forgiven for thinking that Bernie is actually trying to help Donald Trump win. But I believe he is attempting to use "Reverse Psychology". He isn't using it very well but....that's my explanation!

Not sure how he is going to gain momentum, unless he's counting on protests.

As an aside, I find it supremely ironic certain supporters are planning a protest after their wholesale condemnation of #BLM. If it turns violent--even more so

Quite frankly, we don't need him. We have Obama, Warren, Brown, Granholm, Richards, Wendy Davis and a whole slew or good Democrats.

We are on track to do something extraordinary. If Sanders doesn't want to participate in that, it's his loss.

People's sensitivities. But I suppose it is ok for losers to demand things.
