Long story short, Bernies Independent supporters will never vote for Hillary. Big surprise, I know.
This election year is about two radically different, diametrically opposed, theories of politics. For many, this election is about core values. Nothing cosmetic in that.
A substantial percentage of Bernie voters will not violate their core convictions by voting for Hillary.

Should he be deprived of the R nomination and run as an independent, then the Dem nominee wins whoever it is.

(385 posts)There is no truth or falsity in predictions or projections. The point Cahill is making is that the only growing voter I.D. is Independent.
Bernie's Independent voters have no loyalty to the party or Hillary. Millenials have no loyalty to the party or Hillary.
Hillary and the Democratic party could lose the election based on non-voters or Jill Stein defections.

SO, blame PRINCIPLED Bernie supporters for not voting for the CORPORATE OWNED CANDIDATE. Don't blame Clinton supporters for not supporting Bernie in the primary, but blame Bernie supporters for not supporting Clinton. It's BULLSHIT.
