2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary needs to drop out. [View all]JimDandy
(7,318 posts)39. You do realize that, in the GE, Independents are the deciding factor
as they are 45% of total registered voters nationwide. They have not been able to vote for Sanders in the Dem party primaries like they would be able to do so in the GE. And he is getting more than 40% of the Dem vote in the primaries. Dems make up about 32% of the voters nationwide. So, yes, he would beat either Trump or Clinton.
Hmm, I'm seeing you more than I've ever seen you before... I'm touched.
And definitely: "team Clinton."

With the right support, good GOTV, and the dawning horror of what Trump really is, either D can win

I think the dawning horror, for dems, is how quickly Trump is going to run back to center....
