5. For persons supporting Hillary of Bernie based on chances in the GE or SCOTUS

For a while now, polling shows Bernie has as good a chance, or even better, of winning the general election as does Hillary.

Therefore, if a person currently supports Clinton, but Bernie represents their values more so than Hillary, the data shows you can support Bernie in the primary without feeling like you are endangering the party and risking the White House.

Even if Clinton wins, a person who votes for Bernie in the primary can still vote for Clinton in the general election. It's okay to vote for Bernie in the primary.

If Sanders wins the primary, again there is no harm, no foul. He has an excellent chance of victory in the GE. We'll have a good President at a time when the country desperately needs a good President.

We might even have a great President.
