"We are no longer the Democratic Party we thought we were... We've got to go for somebody with principles." PHILADELPHIA - Die-hard Bernie Sanders supporters descended on Philadelphia for this week's Democratic National Convention, many so irate with party flagbearer Hillary Clinton that they are prepared to contemplate the once-inconceivable alternative: President Donald Trump. Some let it be known that they would prefer anyone -- even Trump -- as president rather than see Clinton gain the White House. Trump in the White House would "be so crazy," acknowledged Sanders supporter Marie Adams, 66, of Boulder, Colorado. Several thousand protesters, many of them ardent Sanders backers, held demonstrations in Philadelphia far larger than any seen in Cleveland during the Republican convention.
