There were a number of Bernie supporters who voted in our Democratic primaries and caucuses across the country who had a point to make - and now, "it is what it is."

But as a Democrat, representing Democrats, I do not understand what point could be made voting for nothing?

This is like an exit poll - and just enough "Democrats" turned to statistically give the election to the Republican.

That is my point.
