Trump says Bernie should drop out and form an independent party. He's right!

I too contributed to Bernie's campaign and have not been enthused about HRC, however reality rears its ugly head and decisions must be made.

Hillary is very strong on civil rights and voting rights, women's rights, climate change etc. I can easily see a new revitalized liberal wing of the democratic party emerging to support liberal leaning democrats who were reluctant to speak out for their causes.

Now that Bernie has shown that it is not "campaign financing suicide" to support liberal causes we can only imagine what a strong and vital force the 'new liberals' might become.

With Trump leading the GOP ticket it is thought that the R's will likely loose the Senate and Dems pick up seats in the House. With HRC in the WH and liberals emboldened by Bernie's success at gaining supporters I can see many positive possibilities in the nature of reform.

Bernie is not going to run as a third party candidate so how is voting for him even a realistic option? I think an energized Democratic Party with Hillary in the oval office could be a very powerful set up!
