@BrianLehrer are there Bernie supporters that won't vote for Clinton is she is the nominee? What about the other way around?

@BrianLehrer @VillageBroker I'd vote for either over any of the Republicans. It's about progress vs regress ...

@VillageBroker @BrianLehrer I am a @BernieSanders supporter that probably won't vote if he doesn't get the nomination
