Bernie Sanders voters and the 2016 Presidential Election and how this narrative that the Bernie Bros cost Hillary Clinton the presidency is not only going on far too long but also is false.  In Mr Humble’s defense, I don’t think he knew the future.

But now, it’s the past, although it certainly seems to be still an ongoing campaign. But lets look at it, starting with outlining the events preceding the DNC convention.

Bernie built a coalition with a populist movement centered around workers rights, healthcare, raising the minimum wage and not accepting money from most PACs.  The primary turned out to be more competitive than expected, with Clinton winning 55% to Sander’s 43%, and the races early in the primary were much closer, with Sanders leading at times. After losing California, The Sanders campaign released a video statement on June 16 and announced that Sanders looked forward to helping Clinton defeat Trump, officially endorsing her on July 12.

A week later, the Wiki Leaks story hit
