    Won't here much about this in the DNC controlled media but it's real and may sink Hillary. Not only will they not vote for Hillary but some will vote for Trump.

    " A June 14th Bloomberg Politics national poll of likely voters in November’s election found that barely half of those who favored Sanders — 55 percent — plan to vote for Clinton. Instead, 22 percent say they’ll vote for Trump, while 18 percent favor Libertarian Gary Johnson. “I’m a registered Democrat, but I cannot bring myself to vote for another establishment politician like Hillary,” says Laura Armes, a 43-year-old homemaker from Beeville, Texas, who participated in the Bloomberg poll and plans to vote for Trump. “I don’t agree with a lot of what Trump says. But he won’t owe anybody. What you see is what you get.”

    Sanders and his supporters are "democratic socialists". Clinton is not democratic - she is crooked.

    In 2008 at this time only 48% of Clintons supporters said they would vote for Obama.

    Trump will be the only remaining rebel candidate. If he can keep is nose and head out of the RP/DP butt he will win easily.

    Why would a sanders supporter ever vote for clinton? She represent the very core of what they oppose, a fat cat politician bought and paid for by wall street and nations that imprison gays and think women are lesser beings.

    From "Bernie may run 3rd Party" or "Half Bernie supporters will vote for Trump"?

    You can see how the DESPERATE Trumpsters are grabbing at ANY fantasy...even "Bernie will save Donald"....

    as the reality of Trump's polls, his chaotic campaign, and his miniscule campaign funds slap them in the face.


    Sorry, guys....Bernie Sanders isn't going to save Hair Furor....nothing will. :)

    Trump is actually doing surprisingly well in the polls now. I suspect you know that. ;-)

    Then why are GOP Delegates plotting to free the Convention and why are GOP Donors balking at donating to his "inevitable victorious" campaign???

    LOL! They all have opposed Trump from the beginning. They are his determined opposition. The RP, like the DP will always prefer Clinton to Trump.

    The insiders are thick as thieves - they are thieves. Your best shot at electing Clinton is to encourage Trump to allow the RP to absorb him and run his campaign. He may be a sucker for a smiling face. ;-)

    Were you not involved in politics back then? You can literal take my sentence and google it and find out for yourself.

    Every damn election right-wingers prove once again just how clueless they are about the country they live in. Search this forum for the "Romney will win in a landslide!" threads and tell me what you find.

    Trump will lose and lose big.

    As I suspected you made the statistic up out of thin air and can not source it. Your claim that 49% of Hillary voters said they would never vote for Obama is a fairy tale you wrote

    22% preferring Trump to Clinton is really a surprising percentage.

    Evidently they identify Mrs Clinton with the actual financial establishment.

    But perhaps this isn't the only reason. She is really a boring person and she has taken nothing of her husband's charisma.

    Trump at least appears intriguing.

    So boring is bad?

    Well Trump would be "interesting"...not so sure that's a good thing.

    Clinton is clearly crooked. Even Democrats, who are not emotionally or otherwise invested in Clinton, admit the obvious.

    Trump is clearly not a "Carnival Barker", which is why attacks like that on Trump have little impact or even help him. Trump's opponents will have to adjust their tactics to have a chance at beating him.
