Make no mistake, Trump will be a formidable candidate in the general
election. We predicted that he would win the Republican nomination
the night of the first Republican debate, when all the foolish
pundits were dismissively writing him off. He plays to the worst side
of people, and we have LOTS of people in our country with bad sides.
And to beat him, whoever the Democrats end up nominating will need
the support of all supporters of either Democratic candidate now.
On our side there are many sincere people who frankly like Bernie
Sanders better than Hillary Clinton, among our own participants by
about a 4.5 to 1 margin in both the online polls we did. And there
are LOTS of women in particular who like Sanders better on his policy
positions, NOT because of his gender.
If you are a Clinton supporter, we respect that you like her better.
And you need to respect that some of the rest of us prefer Sanders.
You cannot win by going to war with or blowing off your fellow
progressives and liberals. Because while Republican candidates may
attack each other, Republican voters are NOT. They will be energized
and united in November. And they will mop the floor with you unless
you have each and every one of us with you.
It is your job, if you support Clinton, to do everything you can to
rally people to come out and vote for your candidate. Don't accuse us
of "weakening" Clinton because Sanders is a strong candidate. Because
if you cannot handle Sanders now, what WILL you do against the king
of all modern demagogues, Donald J. Trump, a man who oozes
inflammatory innuendo from every pore.
We'll make a commitment to you right now. We will support whoever the
Democrats nominate. Not just the Supreme Court but the entire federal
judiciary hangs in the balance, lest we end up a new crop of
reactionary judges of the opinion that torture and carpet bombing are
as American as apple pie.
In fact, to show you what good sports we are, if there are enough
people who would like to see us do a Clinton bumper sticker, why
don't you email us with your suggestions right now.
In the meantime we will continue to offer the very popular Bernie
bumper stickers, where we have already distributed over 15,000,
presuming our Bernie fans want to do everything they could have done
to support him.

you don't have one. Of course if you can make a donation of any
amount, this is what makes it possible for us to send free stickers
