If it's between Bernie, Beto or Biden - I'm staying home.

I’m voting blue to get rid of the current squatter. Period.

Sanders is absolutely dead last on my list, but, yes, he gets my vote over Trump.

Hopefully Bernie's standing will continue to fall like a rock and no one will be put into the position of having to vote for him. Between him and Gabbard, I cannot say 100% I will vote for the Democratic nominee, but with every other person who is running, I will, even if they are far from my first choice. I don't think it's going to be either one of them, fortunately.

I'm with Seacove. I personally would not prefer Sanders, and I doubt he will be nominated. But I will vote for any Democrat over Trump. He is not only a security risk, as Seacove has stated, but is also a risk to separation of powers, to the natural environment, and to democracy. Trump is dangerous every day that he is in the White House. I haven't seen a declared candidate yet who I thought was as dangerous as Trump.

If Senator Sanders somehow manages to win the nomination (which I highly doubt that he will), what would you do? Would you vote for him, would you stay home or write in, say, Beto O'Rourke or Joe Biden or whomever your current choice is? The reason why I ask this is because the Twitterverse is populated with ardent Democrats who LOATHE Bernie Sanders and some have threatened to pack their bags and leave this country if he gets nominated.

Is this the general consensus of Democrats? That you would rather Trump have 4 more years in the WH, than allow Senator Sanders to aspire for anything more than local dogcatcher? I don't know about you, but I'm voting Blue no matter who. If Biden gets nominated, who is at the bottom of my list, I will suck it up and vote for him (or against the GOP). Because I care about my country's future. And to clarify, Sanders is not my #1 choice, that would have to go to Warren or Inslee.
I will Vote Blue in 2020 if the Democrats decide to run a cigar store Indian with a hare lip and termites.

AnyTHING but Trump.

That means if William Hung wins the Democratic nomination, he’s getting my vote.
You gave me a good laugh.

But, seriously...same!

This thread warms my heart. It seems we’ve learned a lesson from the debacle that was 2016.

I don't think the security risks get talked about nearly as much as they should. When it was revealed that Trump overrode all the security clearance denials, people appeared to shrug because it went on a huge pile of "and that"s. But there are countries that would pay a ton of money to know top secret information and every day people who were denied clearance and gained it anyway are learning more. I consider voting against Trump the ultimate act of patriotism no matter who it is, including Bernie Sanders.

Thank you. Seriously. Thank you. It is so important to protect our intel, sources, methods.

As a Democrat in the swing state of Ohio, I will vote Blue regardless of who gets the nomination because anyone of the 20+ would be a very massive improvement over the dictator in the White House now.
