Would you vote for Hillary as a 3rd Party Candidate in the General Election?

Bernie Sanders already attested that he would never run 3rd party--giving the election to the Republicans!


Folks here raise the Bernie question as a means of marginalizing him, even after he made that declaration.

In the scope of fairness, the same question should be fielded toward candidate Clinton.

Would you vote for Hillary as a 3rd Party Candidate in the General election?


.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. No.

[HerbChestnut]

2. Probably not

[RKP5637]

3. No. n/t

[BlueJazz]

4. No

[PoliticAverse]

5. Is she going to be Trump's running mate?... n/t

[Agnosticsherbet]

6. No, because third party candidats ar spoilers.

Unless we change the constitution and become a parlimentary system I would never vote for a third party candidate in a national election.

[Bobbie Jo]

7. Absolutely not.

Would never happen anyway.

[apnu]

8. No. We don't need a Nader effect again.

I said that in the thread of the same question but with Bernie's name which was put up by a Hillary supporter.

I say the same thing here.

We need one liberal candidate. The political landscape of America is such, right now, that having two competing liberals (even if one is 3rd Way liberal) is just handing the White House to the GOP.

And the GOP field is 16 loons. Not one is fit to lead. Not one.

America doesn't have the surplus of good will and economics to survive 4 years of a Republican right now.

[RKP5637]

12. Agree!!! The US has no reserve strength and stamina to survive 4 years of a republican. It would

totally break the back of this country.

[riversedge]

9. I see nothing fair about asking a silly question for the

sake of asking a silly question.

[restorefreedom]

14. was it also silly

when it was asked about bernie? because he has said repeatedly that he is running as a dem and is not interested in a third party candidacy.

[beam me up scottie]

10. The PUMA party?

How DARE you suggest such a thing!

[Nite Owl]

11. No

[doc03]

13. It won't happen so what is the point n/t

[DesertFlower]

15. no. nt

[justhanginon]

16. I don't really think she would run as a third party candidate

because she is an actual Democrat and member of the Democratic party.

[mwooldri]

17. Hypothetically: No. Likelihood of Clinton running 3rd Party? None. nt

[catnhatnh]

18. 16 replies and only one with a Hillary logo

Who only chimed in to say the question "wasn't fair"....They can dish shit out but they sure can't take it!

[ericson00]

19. Hillary's a real player, not a gadfly

as 3rd party candidates aside from Ventura are.

[Beacool]

20. Oh please, she would never run as a third party candidate.

[MineralMan]

21. Nope. I'm a Democrat.

[Zorra]

22. I wouldn't vote for her if she got the Dem nomination.

She is exactly what what I protested against in Seattle, Cancun, and during Occupy Wall St.

WTF, I'm not going to vote for a Wall St puppet after repeatedly risking getting my head busted open by psycho cops protecting the interests of her billionaire bankster benefactors.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

23. Nope. I wouldn't vote for her in the general election.

[Historic NY]

24. Why she is going to win the nomination.

[TheBlackAdder]

25. Hypothetically...

[daleanime]

27. That's a good question also....

[daleanime]

26. Finally, an easy question....

No.

[Ken Burch]

28. I wouldn't. Not sure she'd do it.

I can picture her standing silently as Bill endorses Trump as a third-party candidate, just to stop Bernie.

[Thinkingabout]

29. Hillary is still a democrat but since she will be the nominee or Biden this is a choice I do not

Have to entertain.

[RandySF]

30. No

[rock]

31. No

That's not how politics works in the US.

[Buzz cook]

32. So Sanders supporters won't promise

to not sit on their hands if Hillary is nominated, yet Hillary fans have to take a loyalty oath?

Clinton has a history of putting party before self. The antecedents of of the people that support Sanders do not.

Bradley supporters voted green or sat on their hands in fairly large numbers, Obama supporters threatened to sit on their hands in 2008.

I have voted in every presidential election in which I was eligible I won't change that and I don't believe in loyalty oaths, I won't change that either.

[Maedhros]

34. I will not vote for Hillary. Period. [n/t]

[Buzz cook]

37. Well at least you're honest. nt

m

[WorseBeforeBetter]

35. No. (n/t)

[Hekate]

36. The point is moot, because she would not do that. It takes a lot of selfish ego to split the party

It goes without saying that any candidate for POTUS has to have a healthy-sized ego, but it takes extreme self-centeredness and a desire for vengeance to run as a 3rd party candidate and throw the election to the opposition.

That's a Trump move. As far as I can tell, none of the Dem candidates are that petty.
