(73,506 posts)That is only my opinion, nothing more. However, while the republican establishment would support Hillary over Trump, there are millions of republicans with a pathological hatred of her, and they would definitely be getting out the vote. Because Hillary cannot unite our party, there is the very real risk of a low Democratic voter turn-out. That would damage not only the prospects for winning the national election, but numerous state contests.
I think that even among Ms. Clinton's supporters, there is an awareness that Debbie Wasserman Schultz et al have offended a large segment of our party. The make-up of the House and Senate already reflect very poorly on DWS. I'm not confident that her brand of "leadership" is anything but toxic for 2016.
