And even a good percentage of them will come around.

Most of those who will vote for the totally unqualified Green Party candidate, Jill Stein, haven't voted for Democratic nominees in a long time.

While polls showing that Hillary will beat Trump are too early to be truly meaningful, they are also not flukes. Almost a quarter of normally Republican voters claim they will not vote for Trump. While some white male workers who call themselves independents will probably vote for Trump, the cross over vote for Hillary will more than make up for those loses and the "Bernie or Bust" crowd.
