If Hillary wins the nomination...

[SoLeftIAmRight]

What is she going to say to the Sanders supporters?

[BigGLiberal]

1. That Hillary won the nomination?

[RobertEarl]

2. That the party is dead

That the elites are the royalty and the rest of us should just STFU.

However, We the people have not yet voted. When we do and H is defeated, what will you do?

[ejbr]

4. That ignorance is bliss? n/t

[Broward]

5. There is nothing she can say. The damage is done.

[99Forever]

16. ^^^This^^^

And it won't be undone by more lies.

[AtomicKitten]

51. a hundredfold

[GoneFishin]

59. Yep.

[jillan]

60. Thank you for saying that. I started out favoring Bernie, but very open to Hillary.

The crap that has come out of her campaign has really turned me off.

I will vote for her if she is our nominee only because of the supreme court, women's rights....but I will vote for her with a heavy heart.

[gyroscope]

6. No we can't!

No hope no change for you, so get used to it.

[Amimnoch]

7. I think She will praise Senator Sanders for his campaign,

and have nothing but good things to say about him. I likewise think that Sanders will lend his backing and support to Hillary. It is more likely that Sanders will address his supporters with regards to her nomination than she will.

I likewise fully expect the same kind of reaction from Hillary should Sanders win.

When they are in the room with each other they don't go at each other like those of us who support them have been. I believe that either will be a class act upon losing the nomination.

[MeNMyVolt]

9. +1 And don't forgot MOM.

[mcar]

54. Exactly right

[NCTraveler]

8. If she wins the nomination.

Sanders himself will answer this for you at the convention.

[BillZBubb]

15. That makes no sense.

Sanders will say what Sanders wants to say. That doesn't make it what Hillary says. The question is what will she say.

[Vinca]

10. What is she going to say to her supporters . . .

as she veers back to the right and drops the talking points she adopted to compete with Bernie?

[BillZBubb]

12. She'll tack rightward going into the election,

but her supporters will stick with her. They are already the center and right of the Democratic party.

[BillZBubb]

11. She'll ask for their support.

But she won't make any policy changes to win that support.

For Bernie's supporters it will be a lesser of two evils election. I suspect they will have little enthusiasm for Hillary, made worse as she tacks right going into the election. But the republicans will nominate a right wing loon. That should pick her up a good percentage of Bernie's supporters.

[JRLeft]

19. A lot of them will vote for the green party candidate.

[artislife]

33. I truly believe that is true.

[JRLeft]

35. Not I, I'd hold my nose and vote for her.

[artislife]

38. Your vote, your choice. nt

[JRLeft]

39. I know it would fuckin suck ass! I rather Bernie win then I won't have to do it at all.

[artislife]

40. Bernie winning is plan A! nt

[Armstead]

13. Republicans are worse. Hold you nose and vote.

The usual

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

14. I don't know. But her supporters will blame the Left if she loses the GE.

As usual.

[BillZBubb]

17. I expect that will be the case.

I just don't see the younger voters that Sanders is attracting being motivated enough to vote for Hillary in the general election.

But that won't lose her the election. If she loses it will be because the independent voters rejected her in favor of whatever loon the republicans throw up against her. That has to be the bigger fear.

[dana_b]

28. some independents

will do that, some will hold their noses, and some are more to the left than the Dems are and will vote accordingly or just not vote for President.

[JRLeft]

18. Eat this shit sandwich I'm serving you.

[Joe the Revelator]

48. Basically.

[nichomachus]

20. The real question

Is what Hillary's supporters will say after she gives her inspirational inauguration speech and then starts backtracking on everything she promised, loading up her cabinet with Wall Street crooks and corporate goons. How long will they make excuses for her, fending off buyer's remorse.

[JRLeft]

21. Wall Street will be in her cabinet you best believe that.

[Recursion]

32. Or people will just say that. Obama only had one cabinet pick from Wall Street

and people still talk like the cabinet was packed with them or something.

[JRLeft]

34. Forgetting about other corporatist like Arn Duncan and Penny Pritzker.

[Recursion]

37. Who weren't from Wall Street. If you don't want rich people to be cabinet secretaries just say so

And Duncan I think only ever had one job in the private sector.

You may be surprised, though, at who Bernie would pick, since the Democratic rolodex has the same names no matter who is in the White House...

[JRLeft]

42. You believe that don't you, the only choices he has are corporatists. You

Clinton supporters really believe things can never change.

[Recursion]

43. Is there a Clinton supporter anywhere in this conversation? I don't see one

Get off your high horse.

[BillZBubb]

23. I don't think it will phase them at all.

Her supporters know where she stands on economic issues. She's aligned with the corporatist economic view. Her cabinet will reflect that.

[Ferd Berfel]

22. What Crap! When Bernie wins - What happens to Hillary and the DNC support?

the DNC has made it very clear that they are preparing for 'Anybody But Bernie" even if they have to bring in another Billionaire or recycle a previous loser. And they are prepared to lose the election to do it.

So save this pompous hypocritical crap

[libdem4life]

24. If she's smart...which she is...she'll gush all over them. Otherwise if elected, she'll be a one

term wonder, which with her unfavorability ratings, all Republicans, and a Republican House and Senate ... the hate factor is high there.

I don't want that scenario for the first woman president. Just. No.

I'm for the Jewish guy first, and then immediately begin the search for a woman who is known for bringing people together...not sparring with them. However, if there isn't one, oh well. The Presidency is not a gender race. It's for all of us.

[brooklynite]

25. The choice of Democratic voters has been made...

...just like in every other Election since Primaries were introduced.

[Hiraeth]

26. blah, blah, blah or yada, yada, yada. Charlie Brown's teacher comes to mind

[JackRiddler]

27. After the first day or two, nothing whatsoever.

[PowerToThePeople]

29. Does it matter?

I would not vote for her no matter what.

[LuvLoogie]

30. As getting elected while being Hillary is a crime against humanity,

she would beg your pardon for having belittled The Revolution with her presence.

Or she would demand fealty and become the glorious Autarch she is destined to be.

[quickesst]

31. She will probably say...

... In a soft, and soothing voice........

"There, there...."

[artislife]

36. Now that would be a new voice for her.

From all her accents and all her speeches, I believe soft has never been heard.

[quickesst]

44. Heh

[Fawke Em]

41. Nothing. I won't be listening.

I'll be looking up Jill Stein.

[Renew Deal]

47. Might as well look up Trump/Cruz

Because that's the same as voting for Stein.

[ronnykmarshall]

50. Shocker!

[Renew Deal]

45. Welcome home

[TCJ70]

46. She'll try to veer even further to the left to see who she can fool...

...then act like it never happened if she somehow makes it to the WH.

[ronnykmarshall]

49. I would think that she AND Bernie would join hands

and work to defeat the GOP.

Sorry but this is bullshit. I didn't sit and wait for Obama to send me a memo when he won in 2008. I was an ADULT and and didn't need him to address me. Nor did I need sit and wait for Hillary to tell me what to do.

I'm not a fucking child. I don't expect a piece of candy of my ass to be kissed. I pulled up my jock and threw my support to Obama in 2008. As did Hillary. As I will do if Bernie wins the nomination.

[redstateblues]

56. Nice to have an adult in the room.

the temper tantrums are exhausting

[Hoyt]

52. She'll welcome them aboard the quest to beat the GOPers. Some will sulk and write in Sanders or jus

not vote, becoming a vote for GOPers.

[gwheezie]

53. She already told them

Join her fight

[Starry Messenger]

55. "Let's beat the GOP."

Not too mysterious.

[Nedsdag]

57. Whatever she says will fall on deaf ears.

This will be an enthusiasm election. I don't see Hillary gaining any new supporters. People will vote, but not in high numbers.

She turned off a lot of possible supporters with her "single payer will never, ever happen.

She's an establishment Democrat in an anti-establishment world.

[Jarqui]
