Disunity at the DNC is alive and well both inside and outside of Wells Fargo Arena just hours before the 2016 Democrat Convention kicks off in Philadelphia.
For months, Bernie Sanders supporters have struggled to unify behind Hillary Clinton and the weekend's revelations that the DNC was actively working against Sanders aren't making things any easier. In fact, Sanders supporters are so opposed to voting for Clinton, they're considering a vote for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
"The election [Democrat primary] was cheated, it was rigged from the beginning we knew it," Sanders supporter Eileen Cook told Fox News' Leland Vittert in Philadelphia Monday. "I'm going to wait to see where I think my vote will most hurt Hillary. I might even vote Trump. I've been a Democrat all my life. I'm 60 years old and it'd be the first time I've ever cast a vote for a Republican, but if it'll keep Hillary out of office, I'll vote Trump."
Trump has been courting Sanders voters for months as division within the Democrat Party continues.
Crooked Hillary Clinton knew everything that her "servant" was doing at the DNC - they just got caught, that's all! They laughed at Bernie.

How much BAD JUDGEMENT was on display by the people in DNC in writing those really dumb e-mails, using even religion, against Bernie!

Looks like the Bernie people will fight. If not, their BLOOD, SWEAT AND TEARS was a total waste of time. Kaine stands for opposite!
