The Twitterverse stormed right into an attempted addendum to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign speech, clouding the #ImWithHerNow trend with insults and ire.
Clinton, who Thursday became the first woman to be nominated for president by a major political party , has utilized the “I’m With Her” mantra throughout her campaign.

The “Now” that’s since been introduced into the conversation is reflective of the unification push that played out over the past week in Philadelphia as Democrats hustled to bring disgruntled supporters of runner-up Sen. Bernie Sanders back into the fold.
Not everyone is ready to move on.
Some self-styled revolutionaries are urging Bernie Bros to rage on.

Whether the rebranding effort sways fence-sitters come November remains to be seen.
For now, one hypothetical convert appears willing to explore all possible options.
Because my old party has given me an insane Putin want to be. #ImWithHerNow
