Its really amazing that 40% of NY Democrats don't want to vote for her. aikoaiko Apr 2016 #1

I assumed people voting for Bernie were for him and not against her... Lucinda Apr 2016 #11

Might be both, silly you. aikoaiko Apr 2016 #12

Naw...the latest "not gonna vote for..." poll says 75% of Sanders voters Lucinda Apr 2016 #14

Wow. Only 75%. That's a lot who won't. It only took 2% of the electorate in FL to screw things up. aikoaiko Apr 2016 #15

She will do just fine. But I'm sure you know that already. n/t Lucinda Apr 2016 #16

I really don't know if she will do just fine. aikoaiko Apr 2016 #17

I think the Republicans find it in themselves to rally against the Democrats and, in the case of HRC, it will be particularly easy for them to rally behind someone even like Trump.

I suspect a whole lot more would just stay home. Of course, we don't know who will actually walk out of their convention with the nomination, but it is likely Trump will prevail there.
