Sanders’ supporters

That 25 percent of Bernie Sanders supporters say that they will not back Hillary Clinton raises an obvious question: Who will they support if, in all likelihood, Sanders does not get the Democratic nomination?

While Sanders has nudged Clinton to the left, their respective world views largely overlap each other, and those of President Obama and the Democratic Party. And those world views are at almost complete odds with Donald Trump, Ted Cruz and the Republican Party.

So, who will Sanders’ fans support, given that not voting is de facto a vote for just about everything they are against?
