(22,665 posts)We have a common adversary now, one we all agree should never make it to the White House. We need to do everything in our power to not only get more democrats to the polls, but also either shame republicans into either staying out of this election because of Drumpf or convince them to take a stand by voting for the democrat.

(5,621 posts)she is not going to sway a vast amount of voters to vote for Hillary. There is something that most on DU don't get, the vast majority of people in this country do not know anything about politics, and have no idea who Elizabeth Warren is. They do know who Donald Trump is, he has been coming into their homes for at least 5 years or so and is a no nonsense type of guy, he doesn't seem so bad. On the other hand, there are people who wouldn't vote for Clinton because: she's a woman, she's a Clinton, she's a Democrat or a number of other bizarre reasons.
And, all those new voters Bernie has brought into the system, they may or may not vote for Hillary and it depends on a lot of things. It depends on how they see the Democratic Party and how they treated Bernie. It depends on how the view Trump. It depends on if they will stay engaged if Bernie is no longer running. It depends on how they view Hillary, or even Bill. It depends on how really involved they feel in the political system. Cut them off from who they wanted for President and all bets are off.
