In reply to the discussion: Bernie Sanders will still be the Democratic Nominee [View all]Cosmocat
(14,563 posts)of course everyone should vote their consciences in the primary.
I vote next week, and will vote Bernie as I have known for almost a year now that I will.
At the same time, the race is right where I saw it back then, too.
Bernie always faced long odds in winning the nomination.
Hillary just has too much name, too much institutional support, etc.
We won't know about the general until after the dust settles.
I do suspect she will pick up more support than people think.
She has been hammered away at by Rs for a quarter century now, and with having such vitriolic opposition in the primary it drug her down to where she is now.
Once the primary clears, things come into focus, everyone takes a breathe, she is probably going to rebound a bit at least.
Again, though, we have to see.
