(11,366 posts)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.

(41,600 posts)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!

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

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.

(3,623 posts)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.

(20,783 posts)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.
Zorra
(27,670 posts)to conflate Bernie supporters with Trump's racism.

That being said, Trump will certainly steal Bernies 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.

(20,783 posts)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.

(2,872 posts)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.
