More bad news for Hillary. Now that she is having to defend herself as even being qualified to be President, a new poll shows that 1 in 4 Bernie supporters say they will not vote for Hillary. This after 8 years of Obama has driven millions away from the Democrat party.

I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere during the same period in 2008, about 35%+ of Hillary supporters weren't going to support Obama. They'll come around. She's doing better comparatively than Obama was at this stage when it came to support from the opponent's constituents.

They'll start thinking about President Trump [shudder] or President Cruz [gag] or the Supreme Court and will vote for Hillary if she is the nominee.

I don't see how anyone can say (or type) with a straight face that Hilary isn't qualified to be president. As for what Bernie supporters SAY about who they'll support if he doesn't win the primaries has no bearing on WHAT they'll actually do when the time comes. Bernie and Hillary are team players and will help their supporters to transition to which ever one wins the primary.

New Poll: 25% of Sanders Followers Won't Vote Clinton
Your go to source is the Ghana News?

In any event, faced with the threat of a President Cruz or Trump, I think they would run to the polls to vote for Hillary.

"That’s the situation that then-Senator Barack Obama found himself in during the 2008 presidential election, where May exit polls in Indiana had 50% of Hillary Clinton supporters saying they’d vote McCain or stay home. In March, Gallup had 28% of Clinton supporters voting for McCain instead of Obama. The same poll had 19% of Obama supporters who said they would vote for McCain over Hillary. By the time the primaries were over, CNN had 35% of Clinton supporters nationally saying they wouldn’t support Obama.

That election worked out fine for the Democrats, and they were starting with a much wider gulf, and likely a much less scary opponent...

and per your link, 14% of Hillary supporters won't vote for Bernie. I can pretty much guarantee that percentage has gone up substantially since yesterday.

If social media today is any indication - you are 100% correct.

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!
