imagine a trump v clinton
i think a third of the support for bernie will end up going completely apeshit and would rather burn it all down than have either trump or clinton. this is the youngins. it's going to be a summer of discontent.
i think a third will end up supporting trump. this is the manufacturing labor contingent of bernie's support
i think a third will go with the party. this is a a bunch of people that just don't want trump or actually prefer clinton to trump
so in the end i think clinton can rely on a third of bernies support
on the republican side
cruz supporters will go to trump
rubio/kasich supporters might join up with the apeshit youngins. but these are republicans -- and not the populist strain of trump's -- not exactly the rioting type.
but most of the party viscerally hates clinton.
like, trump has said some f**k up things, but clinton is more dangerous in the office, from my standpoint. i just don't like her at all, she's a machevellian wannabe who fails all the time, but also lies all the f**k time. maybe that changes before november, but #neverHilldawg is more important to me than #neverTrump. and i suspect many else would also have this sentiment
the above reasons are why i think bernie is the only candidate who can win against trump. clinton has no chance
