I know I will vote for whomever is the Democratic nominee in the GE.
She is making it harder and harder to do however, and I can see myself just working on local elections and not bother with the Presidential one.
I am a little bit tired however on the calls for him to just suspend his campaign and urge his followers to vote for Clinton.
Frankly, her campaign has a lot of nerve to even expect them to support her come the general election.
Sure, she won the early states. That was during the time people are still trying to figure out who are running.
From then on, the campaign was not in regards to issues any more. It was just, oh we won already, just give it up.
Heck, at the beginning, she was campaigning trying to promote herself as a Progressive, and she would basically parrot the Sanders position on debates and just try to add just a little bit more to sound as if she's tougher. Much of which seems to be extemporaneous and made up at the stage. In one debate, she even directly changed her position a little less than an hour after one of her staff was having an interview.
After which, she stopped pretending and even said something like "There will never be Universal Health Care in America". Of course with an attitude like that, there never will be.
See, in many ways to me she is great for the Senate. She can deal and work with others and set things up. However, she is not a leader. A leader gets ahead of a position and takes a stand. She is the definition of a politician... Politicians tend to be cowards and will not join a position until it is popular. Clinton changes to the tune of what is popular, and what would sound great at the moment. This, does not make her unqualified, as everyone currently running is qualified except for Ted Cruz, that guy is Canadian.
In any case, I consider both free to run till the end, and they should. To me, it is a shame that the primaries have devolved to "just get over it and get behind us already" as she really has to earn their votes. It is unfortunate, especially as the current Clinton is heading back towards the more conservative, corporate policy, then attacks Sanders trying to make him look unqualified rather than actually dealing with the actual platforms.
Even I, who should be a safe bet in voting for her, it makes it harder to get to the polls for this. Thankfully, I have the local races, and there are exceptional Democrats running for the Senate and Congress.
