Carol Hexem: The best thing for this country and every county on our planet is for the Democratic Party to die. We are being told we have to choose between Evil (Trump) and Greater Evil (Clinton). You don't have to open your mind too wide to see she is the greater evil. I am including a video link of Jill Stein. This is not a throw away vote, we are now faced with Evil or Greater Evil, why would you vote for either. If Bernie is VP he will be powerless among a sea of Democrats and Republicans or as I like to say a sea of Evil and Evil. The best thing to come of this revolution Bernie started is the support of a totally uncorrupt party and that is the Green party.
Judy Blaisdell: Most likely, he could be more effective in the Senate than by being her lap dog. Most of Bernie's supporters would follow him anywhere as long as it does not involve voting for Hillary. No, I want Bernie for President. I don't think that Hillary has the integrity or the wisdom to be President. I do not think it is "her turn." I want Bernie or nothing.
Jerry Lobdill commenting at OpEdNews: Real Politik is death to our vision of the future of the nation and the world. Don't forget that it's not Congress who controls our war-making and MIC spending, and it's not Congress who controls the economics of the nation. It's not Congress who can get Wall Street out of government. What power do you think the President of the Senate has?
Bernie spent all his campaign time laying out his plans, and we thought we could trust him. Now, with no apology and no discussion he has suddenly capitulated and is supporting the devil incarnate. He has left us holding the bag. It is folly to think that the next 4 years of neoliberal government will leave us time to right the ship. It's time to abandon ship or go down with it.
We can't trust anyone who joins with Hillary. Abandon hope all ye who enter here. We need a real revolution, and we're not getting it.
Colleen Caddell commenting in Uncensored Progressives: Anger and outrage at the DNC is palpable, and thousands have made their minds up that, under NO circumstances, will they vote for Hillary if she wins the Democratic nomination. I am still and will remain steadfastly behind Bernie, and will wait till the very end results of the convention, before heeding his far-reaching vision for America, which is to rally behind the Democratic Party, NO MATTER who's the nominee, in order to keep Trump from becoming President. THAT is our worse-case scenario!
Marica Kirschbaum: My thought is I just can't see that Bernie could work under HRC's thumb and it might actually tarnish his image in the long run, because as you know, nothing is her fault. She'd run him under the bus anytime and anywhere, as she has already done throughout this campaign.Colleen Caddell commenting in Uncensored Progressives: Anger and outrage at the DNC is palpable, and thousands have made their minds up that, under NO circumstances, will they vote for Hillary if she wins the Democratic nomination.

Judy Goldstock: It would kill me to see Bernie teamed up with a liar warmonger sociopath.
Eleanor Martinez: The GOP tactics used by the Democratic Party, a party I've been a member of since 1974, has disgusted and angered me so thoroughly that, after the convention, I will be permanently leaving this party. I will not associate myself with such a reprehensible organization. Maybe the Democratic Party NEEDS to die. Or at least be seriously gutted.
Cindy Conry: I like your thinking in that without him on the ticket, she hasn't a chance. However, I also don't think that she would pick anyone as ethical as Bernie. She would ALWAYS have to watch her back because her history shows scandal after scandal. Changing ones behavior is not easy. First you have to recognize the behavior and admit it. I don't think she is capable of that.
Priscilla Herochik: Given the fact that Trump is tied with Clinton in most of the swing states, I'm very worried that the Democrats will lose to Trump. A Trump/Pence ticket would be a nightmare if they were elected. I cannot understand how the DNC can be so blind as to the excess baggage that Hillary Clinton carries into this election. It's like they have blinders on and only want to see that it's her turn to be the first Woman president. That makes no sense at all to me.
Katherine Treffi: I hate that Hillary would be president. She scares me. I think her lack of control and sociopathic tendencies could lead us right into a world war with Russia and China. I would like to see Bernie in a position of as much power as possible. And if by some miracle they go into investigating the Clinton Foundation the whole house of cards would fall and Bernie would be President [if he were VP].
Dr. Jan Kirsch: Some Bernie followers will hurl expletives at you, or worse - say that you have sold out or lost moral stamina. But you already know this. Those of us who know you understand that you are striving to make the most of Sanders' determined efforts for real change. I would easily support this alternative before allowing Trump to triumph. I have already smelled the Reichstag burning.
Bobbie Oakland: I agree that Bernie's supporters will abandon the Democratic Party and anyone associated with it because that is what I will do.
Tamara Myers: I am 58 and have been a lifelong Democrat. I will not vote for Hillary even if Bernie is her VP. I will vote for ANYONE who can beat her in the election.
