If Hillary loses the general, it's because she can't inspire Millennials to come out an vote for her or not to vote for Jill Stein. They're not racists - they're tired of politics as usual.

They'll not vote for Trump, either.

If Trump wins, That's on CLINTON VOTERS. They should have voted for the guy who could beat Trump.

A TRUMP PRESIDENT WILL BE A DIRECT RESULT OF PEOPLE VOTING FOR THE UNELECTABLE CANDIDATE - CLINTON. THEY WILL OWN IT!

PEACE
LOVE

The Internet is developed and creates 5 million jobs? Thank a Clinton.

But 4 million of those jobs are moved overseas? Don't look at us!

It is just that simple.

She doesn't know what 'truth' is ... the saucer eyes of defeat.

If the Hillarians go with this theme that Hillary's opponents in the Democratic Party contest are racists, then her campaign is going to self-destruct.

You can't play the race, gender, and anti-youth cards during a primary campaign and expect every single one of the people to jump on board after that kind of campaigning. Maybe people will simply choose not to participate at all, which it sure as hell seems the Clintons would prefer given the constant insults directed at Sanders voters.

If Trump wins, it will be probable be because of his positive message of "make America great again" and a backlash against political correctness. I think both of these factors are being underestimated.

Sanders voters going for Trump -- is there any evidence this is happening? Would seem very odd.

to conflate Bernie supporters with Trump's racism.

Donald Trump could Steal Bernie’s Voters
snip---
That being said, Trump will certainly steal Bernie’s voters away from Clinton in the general election. There is no question. Probably more than any other party has taken from another in a while. Bigots/racists actually come from all political persuasions (some more than others) and in America, they are plentiful.

but if Sanders wins the nomination, most of his votes will have to come from the other parts of the Democratic base or Dem-leaning independents. Those are the votes at risk

Candidates can be viable with all kinds of demographics. But candidates who radiate positivity and confidence have a distinct edge. Trump has some of the same qualities Reagan had in that way, and I am not sure it is being appreciated.

But the simple fact is Rs will turn out in recird numbers to vote against her, millenials will stay home - disgusted by her campaign, and progressives like me will not vote for her.

I know what she's done like the back of my hand, and anyone who wants to defend her ain't a liberal in my book. Damn shame what happened to homeboy this morning who called it like it was, only to have the vocal minority of Weathervaners hide the post.

Those are who I would be thanking...they are ginning it up and putting in the fix, only it would be to lose the White House.

Bernie is the one that can win over the Pukes and Baggers.
