1. I need to be sold on Clinton, but I'm not writing her or her potential VP candidates off out of hand

[Hiraeth]

8. +1

[Bernin4U]

18. Umm, what do you still have questions about?

[Scootaloo]

22. Whether or not she is going to have guarantors for the left

[bjo59]

2. The only time I ever voted for a neocon was when I voted for Clinton the first time he ran as the

Democratic nominee for president (I did not vote for him in the primaries). I have not voted for the Democratic nominee for president since. I'm not about to betray my moral beliefs and vote for a neocon now.

3. The only basis on which Warren might run with Hillary would be to replace Hillary

She seems to have no interest in being Hillary's Vice President.

4. Who Hillary picks as her running mate doesn't matter. For me it's all going to come down to

voting with my heart or voting out of fear.

I fear a Trump presidency. But I also fear a Hillary presidency, for different reasons.
I fear Trump worse because he is so clueless about how government works and he is so bombastic.

Living in Arizona & being 60 I am also thinking that for once in my life I should vote for the person I believe in.
I just may write in Bernie (if he's not the nominee, yes I still have hope).

As far as Hillary's running mate, it doesn't matter.
Hillary will still be at the top of the ticket, she will be the one with the power should she be elected.

5. what REALLY matters is whether fellow Bernie-supporters IN SWING STATES turn out for Hillary

It may be that a huge proportion of Bernie voters in either solid blue or solid red states might either not vote for prez or vote third party (like Jill Stein). I won't, but my main worry is about swing states, and put out a thread on that issue, finding some in swing states that said neither they nor any of their Bernie-supporting friends in key midWestern states would vote for Hillary

THAT could be fatal

I have NEVER been much of a Clinton fan (either Bill or Hillary) but, really! TRUMP -- in the White House? Yes it DOES make sense to vote AGAINST someone if they are terrible, and clearly much worse than the neoliberal candidate the Democrats nominate

[djean111]

14. The DNC should have realized this a couple of years ago.

Too late.

Also - I don't think it is realized by many, evidently, that a great many people just do not like Hillary. Bernie has nothing to do with that. If Bernie had never run, I would still not support Hillary. A lot of my political conversations go like this - who are you voting for? answer - NOT HILLARY!!!!! how about Bernie Sanders? answer - yes! or Tell me about him.

Bernie did not peel away supporters from Hillary. He has the supporters who did not like what Hillary stands for, in the first place. The DNC is relying on the "where else are the retards gonna go" Rahm approach, and it will not work this time. IMO and all that.

26. ^^^this^^^

[Iwillnevergiveup]

6. I'm hoping for

record-breaking turnout in ALL states.

[JDPriestly]

7. If Hillary wins, I don't know yet whether I will vote for president

or whether I will vote for a candidate other than Hillary but not Trump. I just don't know.

Trump is bad, but he is also incompetent, completely incompetent.

Hillary is also bad (her neocon beliefs are not that much better than Trump's), but claims to be competent.

What is worse, a bad candidate who is incompetent or a bad candidate who at least claims to be competent. That is a tough one for me.

Things could change between now and November.

I'm voting for Bernie on Tuesday, and so are a lot of my friends.

So right now, I am voting for Bernie and loving it.

We shall see whether Hillary really makes it to November and the Democratic nomination. Life is full of surprises. At least mine has been up till now.

[Sherman A1]

9. Agreed

I will be tuning out the election and when November comes around. I will be voting, but the ballot starts at our US Senate race and Governor for me.

[deepestblue]

10. "If" Hillary wins the dem. nom. is a BIG if

Because President Sanders

[B Calm]

11. I'm not there yet on who I will support IF Bernie loses. As long as Bernie is still in the race, I

fully support my candidate.

[Donkees]

12. Leftover Halloween candy sprinkled with sugar or Famous Junior's Cheesecake in Brooklyn...

[djean111]

13. I just got an email from actblue, asking me if I thought Bernie still had a chance.

I said yes, and then was given a list of questions. The last question pissed me off - who would I like to see as VP?

Who would you like to see chosen as Vice President for the Democratic ticket?
Sen. Elizabeth Warren
Sen. Bernie Sanders
Sen. Tim Kaine
Sect. Julián Castro
Sen. Tom Perez
Sen. Corey Booker
Gov. Martin O’Malley
Someone Else (tell us below)

I chose Someone Else, and explained that their list assumes Hillary will be the presidential nominee, and I will not vote for her no matter who her second banana is.

And I will not be chipping in for "the Democrats" - nowadays, that means money straight to the DNC and Hillary.

[mockmonkey]

15. I will vote against Trump n/t

[ladyVet]

16. No Hillary, no matter what. There is no lesser of two evils this time.

There is no vote that would allow me to say, well, at least the Republicans didn't win. Except for Bernie. I am Bernie or bust.

[TBF]

17. I am voting for Sanders and/or Stein -

enough is enough. I also have paid close attention to those who have not spoken out against the election fraud during this primary (I'm looking at you Elizabeth Warren).

[restorefreedom]

19. nope. putting warren on the ticket does not elevate hillary.

it sullies warren.

not only would i not vote hillary, i would lose the dwindling respect i have for warren as a true progressive.

[libdem4life]

27. Just the optics suck...two nearly 70 year old white women? Really?

I can say that because I am in that bracket. And I agree...it would be a downgrade for Warren.

[nc4bo]

20. Down ballot Democrats especially Bernie Democrats NEED us.

If there is no other reason to vote...that is the one.

Leave top blank, I don't care but change begins at the bottom!

[mvd]

21. Voting against Trump, BUT undecided on voting for Hillary

If I do not vote for Hillary, will write in Bernie or vote Jill Stein. Hillary needs to show that she has earned my vote. If it is very close between Trump and Hillary, will more likely give Hillary my vote. But right now, still holding out hope that Bernie wins!

[hopemountain]

23. morbidly ridiculous. nt

[RobertEarl]

24. Bernie: Either President or VP Party Nominee

If not president, then VP.

Bernie as a nominee gets to keep campaigning

Bernie HAS to be nominated one way or the other.

[TexasBushwhacker]

25. I may just vote for down ballot Dems

Of course it doesn't really matter who I vote for for President in the GE. Some day Texas will turn purple, but we aren't there yet.

[senz]

28. VP is a powerless position and a waste of Warren's talents.

I voted for Bernie in the primary and hope to vote for him in the GE.

Do not give a shit who Hillary picks for VP if she "wins" the nomination.

Trump and Hillary look equally bad.

Downticket is important.
