WV Exit Polls: 44% of Sanders voters are Trump supporters

[apnu]

331. We will indeed.

Young people will be learning the lesson seasoned voters have learned already. That is, figure out what they're going to do come election day. Will they hold their nose? Will they stay home in disgust? Have they been sowing chaos for the other side? Will they write in and make a symbolic, yet pointless, protest?

Everybody who summons the willpower to get off the couch and to the polls face that question.

As for the older Bernie supporters, who've been around, they'll face the same choice too, but their endurance will be tested. Do they show up for Hillary after Bernie loses? How long will they continue to hold their noses and vote for someone other than their choice? Hillary's PUMAs faced that exact situation in 2008, but its not the same. In the end the PUMAs came home to Obama, I suspect the same will happen this year. Trump is that appalling.

This is an American rite-of-passage as old as this country. Given how dissatisfied people are with politics, its no wonder 45% of the electorate stays home on big election years. And that's in a year people are excited or motivated in a historical election as in 2008.
