So, in conclusion, even if I have to hold my nose when I do it, I will vote for Clinton in November.
In a real attempt to sway Sanders supporters, he finally attempted to show that the movement Bernie started isn’t over. I’ve heard from so many Democrats who say in an election like this, who’s the best candidate to beat the Republican?
