MSNBC just said that a recent poll shows Sanders supporters may vote for Trump
in the GE if Hillary is the nominee. I believe the poll number was low, but still disturbing to think that this is a possibility.
Please tell me they are wrong.

You really speak well for your candidate.
Bye!

that's kind of where we are at the moment it would seem. I have always been an FDR, Union labor Democrat. For my own reasons, I chose to support Sanders. Being that I am a Berner, I am exposed to the entire subset of Berners who, for whatever reason, are NOT currently Democrats. I interact with them. Right now, there are a not insignificant number who claim to be voting other directions if he's not our nominee.
While I would *like to be able to have them in all the end, perhaps we won't.
PS: I'm not gonna leave the party over it, I wouldn't think because that would be even worse. Better to fix things from within. Without critical mass there is ZERO chance to fix things, as the Greens and Indy's and everyone else has learned.
Thank you for the weekend wishes. I wish you a nice weekend as well!
Yay! Weekend!
Into privilege for being able to vote for whom we please. I'm pretty set, myself. Open to hearing arguments for voting HRC but nothing tangible has been brought forth.
Seriously?
I've just never heard it before. I like learning words that are new to me. No sarcasm intended. 
... well get ten reasonable independent voters. That's a fair trade!

I would add an anecdote from a retired flight engineer on Air Force 2 that I met a few years ago while doing a little fishing on the Indian River in Florida (snook is amazing, btw). He spent much of the 1990s flying VP Gore & HRC around (when she wasn't with Bill on AF1), and while he didn't really care for the VP (called him condescending and rude), he painted a very different picture of HRC than how she comes across in the media and before large crowds. He said she was always very polite, actually got to know the crew by name, and in general came off as a kind of folksy product of her Midwestern roots. And this was from a guy who self-described as a Republican albeit pretty moderate (yes, some of them may still exist despite the GOP's efforts to convert them to the extremist wing of the GOP which has been the majority since the 1980s).
So I guess my point is she may well be likeable one on one or in a small group. But when she gets on stage, and starts lecturing progressives on how unrealistic it is to hold Wall Street & corporations accountable, or tries to defend her mind-numbing greed (just how many millions would it take to satisfy her?), well, that's the truly unlikeable HRC that I and many others simply can't stomach. And the sad part of it is that she had plenty of money. Her & Bill's book deals would have quickly erased their legal debts, and between the two of them were guaranteed federal pensions in excess of $600k/year for life along with numerous other perks (staff, secret service protection, etc). Bernie has shown that you don't need to sell out to fund a campaign, and had she simply not gone all-in with Wall Street & corporate America, her other transgressions during the 1990s and in the Senate might have been tolerated by progressives.
But she and her advisors have chosen to confront progressives and paint them as naive and unrealistic. I think it's pretty clear from the number of states Bernie has won that progressivism - even when facing an opponent with almost every conceivable advantage - holds great appeal within the Democratic Party and among independents. And Bernie... How could anybody outside the 1% NOT like him???
be true.
"No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public."
This is just the M$M and others(?) setting the stage. They already know she will lose but they are too afraid of Change to do anything else.
They need a scape-goat and it will be Sanders and his supporters.
It won't matter that she will never get the independents and that the republican base will come out in droves just to vote against her.
The fact that she has not earned votes from the Left won't matter either because , as we've seen here today - It's the Duty of Every Sanders Supporter to Vote for Hillary] http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1869880
regarless of whether she represents the values of any Sanders Supporters
and
Clinton Camp says She's Been Forced to the Left Enough Already
"Clinton supporters vow to not vote for Sanders, and instead support Trump"
Yeah exactly, more divide and conquer.
On the bright side 
you have the Sanders supporters on this thread on the defensive.
How did you see through my elaborate ruse?
sigh.
I'll be so happy when this election paranoia finally ends, and not every statement or question in a post has dark hidden motives and meanings.
