How many of you would switch from voting for Democrat to Republican in case Hillary Clinton becomes the D nominee instead of Sanders or anyone else? I feel like so.

I am going with three options depending on the circumstances:

1. Vote 3rd Party if a formidable candidate comes through and can make that polling requirement to have a third party at the debates. In my state it doesn't make sense to actually vote in the general election (all votes go R regardless of what I do).

2. Write in Bernie

3. Vote Republican if its Kasich. At this point I'll consider Trump. The DNC is doing what the GOP is doing to Trump and did with Ron Paul. It's time for the people to rally behind somebody who doesn't stand for what the parties stand for. If it's Bernie, Trump or Gary Johnson I want somebody. This political situation we find ourselves in needs to be sufficiently rallied against. Trump is rallying one base and Bernie is another. Both have a common mission.

This isn't a Dem v. Rep problem anymore that's just how they divide us. This is the People vs. the Multi-National Conglomerates who own the political process. Did anybody see what the House passed today?

I intended to vote R. Have voted R for 12 year's since I could of voted. I just changed party affiliations to affiliated with Democrat's to vote in the State closed primaries for Senator Bernie Sanders.

I'm a Democrat. I'll be voting for King. She's the most qualified candidate who has ran for president for decades. Other figures I like -- GHW Bush and Nixon. Hillary is a moderate, effective pragmatist -- just my kind of president. Is she an egoist who plays fast and loose with the rules sometimes? Perhaps. She's still my girl.

I'm not registered yet and probably will register as an Independent. I plan on either voting for Hillary or Trump. For me, they are the only candidates willing to address certain things from a point of strength. Sure, Hillary is establishment, but I like the fact that she is a moderate, Third Way Democrat (not counting her socialist-type comments recently, which are probably lies). And Trump is challenging the status quo of the establishment in both parties, which I also like, given their corruption (morally and literally).

As you probably know, a lot of the posters around here call her King -- probably something they picked up from slimy right-wing "news" sources -- to insult her. Personally, I like it. It suits her. King captures her strengths -- confidence and the expertise that can only come from being on the inside - and non strengths -- a bit too highhanded -- well. So for me, King it is. I'll gladly serve in His Majesty's service.

"Which are probably lies"

Based on who you're supporting, you put a lot more emphasis on words (in both the case of Clinton and Trump) than you do on action. That is not a good thing.

It really depends on who the Republican candidate is. I can't see myself voting for Trump, but I have some serious concerns about Clinton as well. At this point I might consider third party.

yeah they wont win, but maybe eventually the poor choices on the D and R sides will push more and more folks that way.

Sanders is my first choice, but I'll be fine with Clinton as well. There is no one more qualified than Hillary in this field on either side of the aisle. She is eminently more qualified than the top candidates on the right.
