In reply to the discussion: Hillary supporters will soon be happy with Bernie. [View all]apnu
(8,722 posts)21. Right, when things collapse under Trump, all that conscience will be jack in the soup line.
If we have a soup line at all that is.
Seeing a lot of people saying it will be better if it all breaks down, then we can build a new. The naivete of that line of thinking is intense.
I think for the rift on the Left between Hillary and Bernie will be moot in November. Just like the 2008 PUMAs came home. If the voters are motivated enough to get to the polls (remember only 58% of Americans turned out in 2008), they'll bring all their fears and sense of urgency with them, look at the ballot, whomever is on that ballot, and they'll pick that which harms them the least.
I do agree that a selection of voters will vote on personality, and I think that is a sizable percentage of the American voter.
