16. My goal is to support the candidate who best reflects my values in the primary and general election.

If Sanders does not win the primary, I want Clinton to win the general election.

You say my "doom and gloom about the general election doesn't stack up," but I cannot find any precedent to suggest a candidate as widely distrusted as Clinton can win the general election.

You say "so far Dems are rejecting him in favor of Hillary," but "so far" no one had voted yet and Clinton has a small lead in Iowa and Sanders has a small lead in New Hampshire so the results in those states is unpredictable and the outcome of those states has historically affected the outcomes in subsequent primaries and caucuses.

We'll see. Clinton is the heavy favorite in the primary, but Sanders generates much more enthusiasm and is much more widely trusted.
