New Poll: 25% of Sanders Followers Won't Vote Clinton
1 in 4 sanders supporters wouldn't vote for sanders if he was the nominee...why? Because they're children, and they don't vote anyway! Hell, if 3/4s of Sanders supporters voted for Hillary, that would be an increase in their voting demographic!

Clearly if 25% of Bernie's supporters refuse to support Hillary in the general election, then it's very bad news for Hillary. If 25% of progressives won't support Hillary, then how much other support has she lost?

IMO, Hillary is left with some Blue Hairs, the delusional, hard core partisans,and some portion of the African American electorate. This is a formula for landslide electoral college loss.

And even more fascinating, Hillary has spent an astonishing $150,000,000 for these results.

She takes money from countries who demean their women by not allowing them to drive, show their face, be seen in public without their man. She sided with Bill over the many rape allegations against him when he was governor. She didn't take Monica Lewinski's side when the president of the USA got a BJ from his young interns. Of course, she should have known better and none of the fault goes to Bill. I am getting tired of typing so will stop here

Zero qualifications other than having a fake business marriage of convenience to an ex president.

Spoken like a true Republican.

As long as she wins 60% of the women vote, she'll win the election so it's fine especially if she's against Trump. He won't win more than 40% of the women vote.

1/4 is actually pretty good at this stage. Once the heated primaries are over, and Bernie endorses Hillary at the DNC Convention, a good chunk of the 1/4 would vote for Hillary, if not solely to prevent Mr. Trump or Cruz from winning. Just on the account of things like the climate change, minimum wage increase, etc., those voters would likely pinch their nose and vote for Hillary.

I suspect that a huge chunk of that 1/4 represents the Libetarian/OWS/Hippie types who would have voted for Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, or other irrelevant person. So meh.

Bernie is my heart, but Hillary is my head. I could go either way with no difficulty given Trump or Cruz on the other side.

If the GOP wants to take advantage of Hillary's unpopularity, they need to refrain from nominating someone even more unpopular than she is; i.e. Donald Trump or Ted Cruz.

John Kasich is the most electable candidate that they could nominate, and there is zero chance of that happening. The hard tilt of the GOP base to the right is the biggest thing the Democrats have going for them because they are bound and determined to commit harikari by nominating their least electable candidates.

BOOM - you are spot on.

Hillary has horrible approval ratings and is seen as dishonest by all people not blindly following her.

Yet, Cruz and Trump have shockingly worse ratings. Meanwhile, Kasich beats Hillary in EVERY SINGLE SWING STATE POLL and even in some blue states.


Republicans are choosing to lose this election by voting for dishonest, nutcase, extremists.

He should run as independent if Cruz wins.
