He(Bernie) is also pushing for people to vote for Hillary as it will put him in control of some very lucrative committees. 

I for one am happy he will be there, but I will never be deluded enough to write in his name at election time as that is a vote for Trump. This seems to be an on-going narrative in local papers too. Vote third party now that there is nothing for people to want to vote for Trump for.

Having lived through at least 2 elections with Spoilers(Perot/Nader) I will stick with one of the Major parties at least through this election.
