If Bernie Sanders is nominated will you vote for him?

Unfortunately yes, but then I will immediately find a cave to sit in for 4 years and find one of those Trenchers that gets brought up in here form time to time. Because at that point the Russians really have control over our elections.

That was settled on the day our current Republican President claimed to be a king and was backed by Republican Senators.

Will you defend him against King Trump and his followers? Or will you remain silent

Does that mean I have to lie for Bernie? I won't do that.
Bernie's healthcare legislation is a half done vague promise that will result in higher taxes on everybody, including laundromat owners. In 2016, you whole-heartedly rejected that with all the emotion you now project in support of Bernie. You also pointed out how little Bernie has done while serving as a Senator from Vermont. What changed your mind?

Warren was my first Choice. Dont think she doing it
Bernie is the next Progressive for me. Biden hell no. Buttigeig cant even do any thing about his racist police dept in South Bend and just uses talking points. Bloomberg wants to slam me against a wall and search my pockets, while stopping me from drinking a 32 ounce soda. Amy who ???

Looks like he got about half a percent less of the popular vote he did compared to 2016, but utterly dominated the delegate vote, pulling in more than HRC did in 2016.

The image of Warren chewing Bloomberg's head off had me ROFL, this sums things up nicely.

So, if I read you right, to you, Bernie is the best among a list of lesser candidates. That's a reasonable response.
The taxes, this time don't bother you?

I already know what adjustments I will make to counter. One bill I no longer will have is my daughters tuition because the eldest I's done and the middle child has one more year for her degree. Law school for her will be paid with the scholarships she has been offered so only the boy in our pocket

So, your personal situation has changed and you now are willing to deal with higher taxes. I'm glad for you. Personally, I wasn't bothered by Bernie's higher tax promises the first time around and voted for him. Sounds like we are both now in a more comfortable situation.
This doesn't change the matter of Bernie's elect-ability, however. Do you think that a promise for higher taxes is going to help Bernie get elected against Trump?

Depends on what idiots believe. Bernie's job is to clear any bullshit that's made about his tax plan. Most people who bitch about shit too damn stupid to check for themselves and believe every meme they see on the internet.. in which category do you fall. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/sanders-tax-plan-52-percent/

”I will raise your taxes and take away your healthcare” is a guaranteed loss

Why is it that Bernie's supporters get so emotional when people stick to facts about his plans? Then they start throwing around false accusations like you just did there.
Actually, Bernie hasn't published a plan for how to pay for his healthcare package and is even more vague about the other goodies he's running on:
Bernie Sanders' disastrous answer on '60 Minutes'
Bernie Sanders, the clear front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, was asked over the weekend how much his various plans would cost if implemented. He didn't know.

I'm not going to cite the 60 trillion dollar figure that some so-called centrist group claims the total package will cost us. I'm not even opposed to them. What I am heading towards is these plans aren't really what people are worried about. You just mentioned the COST of medication a church member was dealing with. Cost of medical care, not availability is the main issue and Democrats have been chasing after Bernie as if availability were the main issue of the day. Also too, taxes. People do care if taxes are raised. If Democrats want to win in the fall, they need to spend more time on the concerns of the day and less on some bidding war where they up the ante each time promising more free stuff.
The main objective is beating Trump. Do you agree?
