is the nominee. we cannot have 4 or 8 more years of a republican president especially with the clowns who are running.

in '04 bush won because a lot of people didn't like kerry -- i'm talking about dems and independents. my late husband was one of them.

...will have my unwavering and unending support. BOTH Secretary Clinton and Senator Sanders are head and shoulders above ANYONE the GOP will field. Anyone.

I would prefer the nominee be Senator Sanders. HOWEVER, I absolutely refuse to live with another GOP hack for POTUS. If Secretary Clinton is the nominee, I will support her candidacy through thick-and-thin!

Only the impending Trumpocolypse could make her relatively Right-Wing positions palatable.

I may vote for her, but I would need some reason to believe a Clinton White House would be substantively different than a Cruz or Rubio White House.

May have some benefit, in not being Cruz or Rubio, but I don't know for sure I won't have the same things happen. Hillary Clinton may easily "compromise," any values away.

She has said no to even the basics of a Progressive political policy package.

Because whoever wins will be the best choice in the General Election.

The primary is about deciding who the majority think is the best candidate.

The general is choosing the best government from the choices we are given.

45. Less people voting = Republican presidency

By not voting, you might as well vote for whoever the crazies on the Republican Party nominate.

Republicans THRIVE when there's a significant amount of voter apathy.

It's easy to throw a temper tantrum if your dream candidate isn't nominated when you're not one of the groups of people on the Republicans chopping block.
