It's Going To Be Tough For Bernie Supporters Over the Next 3-4 Weeks [View all] DemocraticSocialist8 Feb 2016 OP

say hello to president trump Robbins Feb 2016 #1

Or worse, Cruz. Oh well, we know who to blame. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #3

The Dems who do not show up to vote? LonePirate Feb 2016 #26

The dems that selected a candidate that no one will vote for. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #37

So you're tacitly supporting the Repub candidate if your Dem candidate loses the primary battle? LonePirate Feb 2016 #41

nope! You''re wrong. Some of us just won't hold our noses any longer dana_b Feb 2016 #84

You can vote Dem in November or let the Repub nominee win. There are no other choices. LonePirate Feb 2016 #100

yes there are dana_b Feb 2016 #104

Those other names are nothing but votes for the Repub nominee because you are lowering the D total. LonePirate Feb 2016 #106

Nope. Not sitting out just won't vote for her. Dems down ticket, yes. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #108

So you are supporting the Repubs for President then. Not voting Dem = voting for Repub. LonePirate Feb 2016 #110

Having trouble reading? I will support Dems just not her. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #111

I guess you are the one having problems reading given what you replied to. LonePirate Feb 2016 #113

Pray tell. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #114

Not voting for the Dem Pres candidate in the GE is the same as voting a Repub for Pres. LonePirate Feb 2016 #116

No, voting repub is one less in the dem total and one more in the repub total. Vattel Feb 2016 #119

Oh, please DarthDem Feb 2016 #4

What a ridiculous slander. Can't make up my mind if it is sexist or homophobic. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #42

Oh please. Sanders only looked good against the GOP candidates in H2H's because they have Persondem Feb 2016 #14

What an absurd defeatist nonsensical post. DCBob Feb 2016 #35

Well that will win her my vote! nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #39

Yet another post in the same vein. DCBob Feb 2016 #44

Certainly hope she isn't counting on supporters like you. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #50

I gave up trying to convince anyone on this site to vote for Hillary. DCBob Feb 2016 #58

Have a great life. The kids are the big losers. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #60

The best thing for "the kids" is to keep a solid Democrat in the WH. DCBob Feb 2016 #62

Hillary will never win. She had her time in the White House. She doesn't own it. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #64

If she is nominee, she will will. DCBob Feb 2016 #68

She may well will it but it will never happen. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #70

Well that's opinion.. DCBob Feb 2016 #75

Yep, a pretty darn valid one. Check with you in November. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #78

You seem to hope she loses. DCBob Feb 2016 #81

Hard to care either way to be honest. I don't see her as any better than Repukes. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #85

Wow.. yet another absurd ridiculous clueless post. DCBob Feb 2016 #91

Thanks. Coming from you that is a compliment. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #93

No, it is going to be tough for Hillary supporters in the GE. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #2

Us? Of course, I expected nothing less... JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #5

Sorry Jon, I can't go there. I'll vote down ticket but that is it. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #8

Sorry, I meant Us=Progressives. We will be blamed for a poor turnout. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #12

Maybe it will take a Cruz or Trump presidency before the country learns. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #21

Who really cares who they blame? artislife Feb 2016 #27

They treat us like we are in it for "free stuff". I'm willing to bet I'd personally be worse off JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #32

Same here. But the country in general would be much better off with Sanders. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #47

I am in it for the planet and income equality artislife Feb 2016 #48

Exactly. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #72

Hillary will have a hard time in the general, I suspect, Blue_In_AK Feb 2016 #10

Please, the country is not stupid enough to vote in Trump, Cruz or Rubiobot. brush Feb 2016 #17

I wouldn't count on that. Blue_In_AK Feb 2016 #19

Trump took down the Bush Dynasty Larkspur Feb 2016 #34

No kidding! Nedsdag Feb 2016 #90

I think that was his intention. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #109

I'm gonna bet a good quarter or more of Sanders support Codeine Feb 2016 #40

Sadly, I think you are right. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #51

Nice numbers. Got a source? JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #52

Purely speculative. Codeine Feb 2016 #56

I'd guess she/he is right based on the many people I have talked to while campaigning. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #67

Interesting. JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #97

I don't think Democrats will do that, Blue_In_AK Feb 2016 #65

True but Bernie pulled a lot of Independents. And there are plenty of Dems that won't vote for her. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #76

I suppose a lot depends on who the R nominee is. Blue_In_AK Feb 2016 #83

Possibly but the polls now have her losing to Cruz and he is a pretty savy debater. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #88

He is the worst of the bunch, IMO. Blue_In_AK Feb 2016 #95

Yep. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #96

Are people independents out of fear of being Democrats, disgust of Republicans, or the lack of a JonLeibowitz Feb 2016 #86

I can't speak for anywhere else, Blue_In_AK Feb 2016 #94

"even though most of us will hold our noses and vote for her" Codeine Feb 2016 #20

Or go Green. artislife Feb 2016 #30

I will absolutely not. Lizzie Poppet Feb 2016 #43

Me too. Will be the first time I have ever done that but I can't picture myself voting for her. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #54

I get to vote my conscience, too, Blue_In_AK Feb 2016 #69

If it actually looks close here... Lizzie Poppet Feb 2016 #80

I am leaving the presidential slot blank as well. Nedsdag Feb 2016 #99

On the bright side, Codeine NastyRiffraff Feb 2016 #103

Who is blamed doesn't matter, who votes for her does. There is a very bkkyosemite Feb 2016 #28

I do not think Hillary is that much better than a R for pres. She supports H1b visas, outsourcing, peacebird Feb 2016 #29

This is true. artislife Feb 2016 #31

And that friggen war and possibly more wars. Nothing I can vote for. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #55

Perhaps it's not that they are believing anti-Progressive propaganda. LuvLoogie Feb 2016 #6

Yeah, it's that probably Rose Siding Feb 2016 #105

I think Bernie supporters have always known this is a long shot. Vinca Feb 2016 #7

We do, but Bernie presented a great opportunity and some real hope. Live and Learn Feb 2016 #57

I don't think so. fun n serious Feb 2016 #66

I hope you're right. Vinca Feb 2016 #117

Respectfully disagree. H2O Man Feb 2016 #9

She doesn't have this black voters vote. Nedsdag Feb 2016 #11

Bernie needed a state he never led in? SheenaR Feb 2016 #16

And got 48% SheenaR Feb 2016 #77

If HilLIARy supporters think she will win in Nov Politicalboi Feb 2016 #18

If Repubs win the GE, it's because Dems didn't vote. Don't blame the candidate, blame the voters. LonePirate Feb 2016 #38

I believe Sanders' supporters will stay strong and vocal... MerryBlooms Feb 2016 #22

I pretty much gave up after Iowa TheFarseer Feb 2016 #36

the fix? Codeine Feb 2016 #46

You can't have 100% of the media for one candidate TheFarseer Feb 2016 #61

Big time. nt Live and Learn Feb 2016 #59

Agreed his chances are slim to none. JRLeft Feb 2016 #45

I appreciate your concern Fairgo Feb 2016 #49
