44. Using DU as a barometer, most WILL vote for her

Tue Dec 30, 2014, 01:07 AM

Dec 2014

I've read multiple threads about other candidates, and when push comes to shove, most here say they would still rather have Hillary than whoever the GOP candidate would be. And I think DU is to the left of most of the Dem party, so I think the huge majority of Dems would vote for her even if they preferred someone else.
But you bring up an interesting point; Perot was an oddball and got 19%. What if there WAS and Independent candidate who was a popular well known, man/woman? It could be interesting.
