With all the posts about supporting the eventual

primary winner, I pose this question. If Hill wins and begins the GE campaign against the eventual GOP opponent, and either a real scandal or the GOP gains traction for whatever reason, would it not be wise to then support the runner-up? What if the runner-up (Bernie?)polls much better than Hill against the GOP and brings cross-over GOP votes with them?

This might sound highly unlikely but it is a real possibility. So I ask this question sincerely.

It doesn't matter as long as Hillaries on top like a big Ole cherry on the liberal sundae. Whether anything like that happens doesn't matter.

What I can tell is that her supporters would one and all rather lose to Trump with Hillary, than win against him with Bernie.

If that happens, someone new can be selected at the convention. Things only really get tough if something happens after the convention.

This is not specific to Hillary. We talk about this stuff every cycle.
