Democratic Party Shellacking If they nominate Hillary

Democratic Party Shellacking If They Nominate Hillary:

[link:http://smirkingchimp.com/thread/gaius-publius/66651/tom-cahill-democratic-party-is-in-for-a-shellacking-if-they-nominate-clinton-heres-why|]

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.

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.

... which should be winnable, and fall further behind in the house. State Republicans will also pick up seats as Hillary's pantsuit coattails will not be long. This will be followed by a political nuclear winter where American democracy is stabbed through the heart and buried under a new football stadium.

of Trump and their responsibility for him growing in popularity. Had they had a Trump blackout like their Bernie blackout, he would NEVER have even gotten close to the WH! 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.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

Because Rahm Emmanuel and DWS are True Democrats and represent the best the party has to offer.
