That's still a win for Trump.
It's becoming easier for me to justify my predisposition to vote for Gary Johnson this November. The nominees for both major parties would be laughable if it weren't so tragic. On one hand we've got a classic corrupt politician whose judgment is anything but trustworthy and a bigoted ideologue who refuses to accept advice from anyone but himself. Oh boy, things are really looking bright for the future!
Join the club. That's who I'm voting for. He's going to be on the ballot in all 50 states and if he reaches 15% in the national polls he'll be eligible to be in the debates
I'm leaning Libertarian at the moment. I have a bit more to learn, so my leaning is more away from the two parties without credibility than towards at the moment![]()
If Sanders isn't nominated 6 of 10 will vote for Trump
More likely that 6 of 10 won't vote at all.
Not a good comparison. In 2008 Clinton's support was with Democrat estabs. Estabs generally fall in line when push comes to shove. Bernie's support is anti-establishment. I have good natured exchanges with a couple of young Bernie Bro lawyers every few days. I ask them when they are getting on board with Hillary they swear they never will. Anecdotal, sure, but the idealistic millennials seem to despise her.No way.
Really doubt that too. Rabid Hillary supporters in 2008 were all up in arms when Obama got the nomination, but by election day they'd mostly lined up behind him.

Maybe we can agree on one thing. I don't trust polling data this year. I don't trust it if it says Trump is winning, or if Hillary is winning. The dynamic is just strange this cycle. Even Nate Silver has been wrong a bunch of times lately. We will not know who the next President is until about midnight EST November 9th.Anecdotal as well, but the millennials I know, while they may be anything but enthused about Hillary, genuinely despise Trump.
And while polls can be unreliable, every poll of millennials I've seen indicates the same.
