When Trump insults Hillary or Bill during the GE Debate

43. Our problem is going to be hemorrhage...

from tearing ourselves in opposite directions as a party. (This may also be the GOP's problem but I'm going to focus on our problem...because it's not our problem either if the GOP can't fix theirs.)

There is a solid 20% of Democrats (not DINOs, Democrats that also IDed to pollsters as having voted in 2008 and 2012 for Obama or having a favorable opinion of the President) that have consistently told pollsters they will not vote for Hillary, regardless who she is running against, if she's the nominee. Based on my own anecdotal experience, I suspect that number is about the same for Sanders.

So, we have a problem. We have a decisive amount of active Democrats that won't vote for Hillary, either because they believe the scandals or because she refuses to embrace Sanders economics...and we probably have a similarly decisive amount that won't vote for Sanders because they're economic-moderates (mostly center/center-right) and social liberals, so if they can't get Hillary, the GOP is their next best choice as long as that GOP nominee is socially-moderate, as Trump is perceived to be on many issues.

We may not just need the 10% that decide elections...we need that 10% plus another 20% of independents or GOP defectors.
