I highly doubt that. I would say most of his supporters are either Democrats or liberals who tend to call themselves Independent, but primarily vote Democratic. He does bring some new voters into the mix as well, but the vast majority of his supporters while not thrilled with Clinton would certainly rather her over any of the Republicans.
She'll lose about 30% of the Bernie vote is my estimate.
I've seen polls that show 20% answer they will not vote for her and another 10% likely wont show up if she is the candidate. On the other hand, Hillary supporters overwhelmingly support Sanders if he is the nominee. Her supporters are staunch Democrats.
Interesting narrative here but you can't win an election with threats.
If they aren't Democrats - then we aren't counting on their vote. Bernie as the nominee IS the surest way to elect Trump or Rubio.
No thanks.
This is an interesting narrative.
Hillary does not do well against any Republican. I am petrified of having someone with lackluster support and under FBI investigation go up against the Republicans. She will not win, again.
Why do people think she is so "electable"? I don't get it at all. She will go the way of 2008, and whether that is in the DNC or the general election is up to Democratic voters, and I'd rather she go by the wayside sooner than later.
Bernie does better in every single Republican match-up. His support is just too broad and diverse for anyone to compete with him. Hillary's is not. Republicans will trounce her and we will all be worse off for it.
Hillary is a quasi-progressive. Jill Stein from the Green Party would appeal a lot more to Bernie's supporters. It's just a shame that third party candidates are shunned by the corporate media.
In my view, the fact that some are supporting Hillary to prevent a Republican from winning the White House indicates that she doesn't offer anything that special as a candidate overall.
She's the "vote for me, I'm the lesser evil" candidate. There's nothing inspiring about her.

Exactly-people see no difference between the Clinton's or Bush's anymore-they are both part of the political oligarchy and people are tired of it. Both families have had a heavy hand in selling our nation down the river.
BTW-I supported Jill Stein in 2012! It is insane that she was arrested for trying to go to the Hofstra debate! That's modern day American "democracy" for you!
Independents and formerly apathetic voters disagree.
Your numbers will become more and more meaningless as Hillary continues to build on her momentum.
And while my other thread about Bernie's eligibility was tongue in cheek, the fact remains that Bernie wouldn't know what hit him if Trump or any other Republican candidate started to campaign against him in earnest.
I think it will be all over the place depending on what issues they were supporting Bernie on. I would think that with so many younger Americans supporting Bernie that Trump, speaking of savings us from 3rd world status and getting jobs here that are more than fast food and retail, should attract more than a few. I suspect many support Bernie because they can't stand the thought of Hillary being POTUS which means they must vote for someone that has a good chance of beating off her pantsuit in the General Election. Of course, I'm thinking Trump.
Yes, especially after this past week, with the death of Scalia and the stupid games the Republicans want to play in an attempt to keep the court from swinging to the left. It was an eye-opener for many Democrats about how important it is to keep the White House out of the GOP's hands.
Which is why I voted, yes, begrudgingly. Even if you are not a Hillary fan, she is still better than anyone on the other side, and that's what most Democrats will be thinking when they step into the voting booth.
Bingo! The death of Scalia has really changed this election, for both Republicans and Democrats.

What "momentum"?
She has done worse in every state than "polling" and "experts" predicted just a few weeks ago.
Democratic voter turn out is way down so far compared to Republican. Bernie is the only excitement on the Democrat side, and we need to send someone with lots of excitement surrounding them to the general.
