My question got burried in a long post but still what needed to be asked

If Bernie Sanders becomes the Democratic nominee, through the primary process, and through the convention, (waste of time and money big free PR process which we all need to elect a president).

WHICH of you Hillary supporters will NOT vote for Bernie as the democratically-selected candidate?
(THUS, handing over the White House to one of those 17 idiots on Fox last week)

And why not?

Reasons?


Put another way... worse for Hillary supporters:

WHAT IF..Hillary has health problems and cannot complete the run for the presidency? (I'm asking this with just a speculative "what if", but I'm not seeing Hillary out there greeting crowds of tens of thousands these days daily like Bernie is... is there a reason we don't see her out there every day? She's not exactly expected in the U.S. Senate on Tuesday through Thursday like Bernie is.)

WHAT IF Hillary cannot, for whatever reason, run for president in mid 2016? Do you Hillary supporters turn the nation over to Republicans in the White House or do you vote for Bernie?

Please answer directly, with reasons for or against, not just emotions. Terrible things happen in politics in America, people we relied upon to be our president turn up dead due to a gunshot, (Kennedy)or a heart attack and improper medical care, (Roosevelt). So where do we go if this happens on a presidential campaign? Who do you Hillary supporters vote for?

Donald Trump is about as unpopular as Vladimir Putin

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2015/07/09/donald-trump-is-about-as-unpopular-as-vladimir-putin

A Washington Post-ABC News poll in May, meanwhile, showed Trump's favorable/unfavorable split at a stunning 16/71. That's a net-negative of 55 points.

The only politician who has been polled in recent years and is anywhere near Trump and Putin was Newt Gingrich, who was 32 points underwater amid his failed 2012 GOP presidential primary campaign, according to Post-ABC polling.

Indeed, while the Putin comparison comes close, it's hard to make clear just how unpopular Trump is. It's very difficult to get 70 percent of Americans to agree on much of anything. But that's the percentage who don't like both Trump and Putin.


So let's not get too worried about Trump being the Republican nominee; he's capturing the attention of the media, but only about 15% of even Republicans like him, less in many areas. In short, he's only popular with the racists.
