27. Most Sanders supporters will vote for and support the Democratic nominee.

Some will not, but they weren't really working on having a Democratic nominee in the first place. The Sanders campaign high level staff is made up of people who either did not vote in 2016 or voted for Jill Stein. That has been the largest flaw in the Sanders campaign this year. His grassroots is made up, in part, of people who are not Democrats at all, but are, rather, non-party-affiliated people on the far left, politically.

We are going to have to win without a small minority of Sanders supporters. Most people who were supporting him will vote for the Democratic nominee.

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