(15,951 posts)Basically I said "Bernie has more sense than his supporters--he knows that it would be a disaster to elect a Republican and he will endorse Hillary just like Hillary would endorse him if he were the nominee."

(4,035 posts)I have never posted in the Sanders group before, so I tried to emphasize my sincerity - and I am sincere, I would love to have examples of Republicans willing to vote for Sanders if Trump is the rep. candidate. I dunno if they'll use it to ban me since my favorite group is HRC and I am an open HRC supporter, though.

Anti dem, in favor of spoiler. I alerted too.

(4,035 posts)Have I missed an announcement somewhere? An analysis? I mean that seriously - is there evidence or analysis that Republicans would be willing to cross the party line and vote for Sanders if the GE is between Trump and Sanders? Christine Whitman said she'd vote for Clinton, but there are quite a lot of racists supporting Trump, and I'm not sure they'll want to vote for a Jew. They are, after all, racists, and since they are most likely sexists too, they won't vote for Clinton. And even the moderate republicans might have trouble with the label 'socialist', even though Sanders and Clinton voted the same more than 90% of the time. Wouldn't they be more likely to cross the aisle for Clinton, since she's had to work with many republicans in her role as FLOTUS, NY senator, and Sec.State? They know her, and have had to work with her, while Sanders have kept his purity, and as a result, haven't gotten almost any of his original bills passed?

(6,537 posts)I read a post here awhile back that said Sanders, once elected, would bring everyone together because he was less fractious than Hillary. In other words, more people like him. I nearly spewed coffee on my keyboard! As if liking someone has anything to do with Republican strategy!
I also read where Bernie's plan to get around Repub obstruction (even he apparently knows likability won't mean squat) is to rally the young folks and working class to rise up and contact their congressmen to enact Bernie's platform. As if that would work. One, Repubs don't care what their young and working class constituents think. They will enact their agenda in spite of it; they've been ignoring everyone but their True Believers since Reagan. Two, how does he possibly think he can get them to rise up and make their congressmen enact his agenda when he can't even get them to the polls now? Turnout is lower than in '08 or '12. Unless New Hampshire represents the heartbeat of America he's been astoundingly unsuccessful in rallying his troops! After SC today, I have him down one primary and two caucuses. Not exactly in Revolution territory.
But hey, these facts don't pierce the bubble, do they? We are truly living in a post factual world.

(16,104 posts)once I understood, a long time ago, they were not going to be voting for Hillary under any circumstances.
We're going to have to do this without them!
A couple hundred at most?

(12,165 posts)It's a slim minority of voters who would burn the house down to save it.
When the campaign for the general starts, those same people will either be withholding their vote for the sake of purity or coming to their senses at the stark contrast between Hillary and whoever the GOP nominee happens to be. If they honestly think that sitting it out proves anything, there's no convincing them.
I would rather focus my time and energy on the true undecideds than the puritans.

Everyone knows what is at stake if we put a Republican in the White House. I firmly believe that and most in that thread made it clear that they and Bernie know it as well.
