But logic will tell you that the GOP will vote in lock step for whoever they run if it is against Hillary...if it is Sanders then some of them, not many perhaps but some will reject their establishment candidate and may vote for the Dem.
And independents are the largest group...over 40% and they are independents because they have already rejected establishment candidates...so offer them another one and they will ether not vote or vote against someone.
And if Hillary is the one they will work her over good over the summer of 16 and a lot of people will vote against her, and we will see another president Bush and VP Carson or Florina.
