But in the year of the angry voter, not even an administrative assistant from Elk River, Minnesota, can escape the outrage.

“The people’s choice was Trump, and I have no problem with it”, said Uehlinger, who lives near Allentown in eastern Pennsylvania. “It’s kind of hard to take sometimes”. Sanders remains adamant that he wants to win the Democratic presidential nomination, but his shift hints he is looking past the nomination fight and toward a role in shaping the party, the Times writes. Now, as his path to the White House becomes all-but-impossible, some of his supporters are lashing out at a system they believe was engineered against them from the start.
Sanders supporters were even less willing than Trump backers to consider crossing over. Dick Wadhams, the former Colorado party chairman, told the Post that “More and more people hope he wins that nomination on the first ballot because they do not want to see a convention that explodes into total chaos”. I seriously doubt they’ll do better with “You over here, vote for me”.
The Sanders campaign assures everyone that it doesn’t condone harassment.
Democrat Bernie Sanders is laying off hundreds of campaign workers after a string of losses to frontrunner Hillary Clinton, focusing his forces on the last big presidential primary in California – and on the battle for the party’s platform. “She’s got nothing else going on”.
“I got five emails on Easter Sunday. I mean, give me a break”, she said.
Just begin with Trump’s overwhelmingly negative personal ratings. “Why does some random lawyer get more sway than the citizens”, read one comment.
Gus Bickford, the former executive director of the Massachusetts Democratic Party, was taken aback by the threats that flowed into his inbox and onto his Facebook page. And, yes, Trump said, he knew he was courting charges of sexism. “And here is the truth: You can’t be for Wall Street and for the working people of this country”.
While he has won more support among GOP women compared to other Republicans, a high percentage of women voters nationwide hold negative views of Donald Trump – 69 percent have an unfavorable view of him, according to a CBS News national poll this month.
Feingold, who served with both Sanders and Clinton in the U.S. Senate, won’t say who he voted for in Wisconsin’s April 5 primary. Even in 2008, when several dozen switched to Barack Obama from Clinton, Obama won enough pledged delegates to make superdelegate support largely irrelevant. One can not call himself or herself truly Never-Trump if he or she can not bring himself or herself to vote for anyone but Trump, including the Democratic nominee. They, too, could switch if a second round of voting occurs at the national convention.
The name change didn’t reassure Clinton-backing superdelegates. Well, yes, but the erstwhile presidential candidate’s argument sounds somewhat incoherent on its own.
Apart from their policy differences, Sanders has suggested that Clinton has been corrupted by donations from lobbyists and executives for banking and financial interests, who have contributed heavily to her campaign.

“I have been a loyal volunteer for this party”. “There is no way I could vote for Cruz”, she said, who she considers “almost a theo-crat”. “Every president I’ve campaigned with here in California has been protested”.
