48% of Sanders Supports Won't Back Clinton, 33% Say They Will Back Trump Instead

[Doctor Jack]

I am starting to fear that winning over those Sanders supporters might be a lost cause. Looks like the "Bernie or Bust" movement is gaining traction.


Wait, silly me, I must have dug of a poll of Clinton supporters in May 2008 where half said they would never back Obama and 33% said they would vote for McCain. It just seemed so related to the events of today that I might have gotten myself confused. I'm sure the Bernie people are much more serious about this "Never Clinton" thing.

1. Oh yes, Trump is bound to charm everyone in the next 4 months

that clever devil will cast his spell.

Jesus.

[Doctor Jack]

2. He is the epitome of charm

Charm is what greasy, fat, old racists with bad comb-overs have, right?

7. Ah, but of course it will not happen this time

Unlike all of the other times when people said that. This time they are serious and unlike all of the other times that they said "this time I am serious", this time they are serious

5. If they'd vote for Trump, they were not even remotely Democrats.

10. yeah... that ^ eom

8. Well, 52% of Bernie supporters will back Hillary, she will beat Trump in all but 6 states.

I'll take it!

11. If this people can be wooed by Trump they are just not worth it!

They are not an asset! They are part of the problem!

12. A lot of them are more likely to be before it started Tea Baggers anyway.....

13. I'm confident most in the end will support HRC just as HRC supporters

came around to Obama in 2008. A few hardliners won't but they are probably also the type who felt voting for Nader was better than voting for Gore in 2000.

14. I'm pretty sure its just the zealots

that won't vote her which is fine by me. I think the normal headed Sanders supporters will come around when the campaigns get started and we see the clown exposed.

15. Ha! Saw the subject line and came in to post the 08 stats

Nicely done!

16. So 15% of Sanders supporters probably ARE Trump supporters.

Why were they in the Democratic Primary?
