2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary's speech yesterday was spot on. How do I know? [View all]hellofromreddit
(1,182 posts)29. Will crossover republicans count for more than that? BoB folks are mostly new democrats.
You say most Bernie people will support Hillary anyway, well, most republicans will support Trump anyway too. Beyond that, most voters get into a funk of "I won't vote" before they go so far as to crossover. Couple it with almost 30 years of republicans being taught to viscerally hate the name Clinton, it's not likely that many republicans will cross over and vote for Hillary.
I seriously doubt even Hillary can out negative campaign Trump enough to make up that difference.
