Is it safe to say - Clinton or Sanders against Trump in the general

If so - Both would beat him in the general

So - why vote for Hillary?

down ticket candidates?

How about the fact that I don't agree with her pro-war record, or her pro-wall street record, or her pro-TPP record, or...etc, etc...

But Trump might not win the nomination. I still think Sanders would have as much chance as Clinton of winning, but that is very debatable.

Some match ups seem more problematic than others. I do actually think Sanders is a far better matchup against Trump than Hillary. I think she might do better against more establishment Republicans.

That said, I am supporting Sanders. Because I think he's the better candidate and I think he's the right person to lead the country at this moment. I respect Secretary Clinton, but I don't think she can lead us where we need to go.
