Who would you vote for in this hypothetical election?

[Mr. Illini]

Sanders.

I wish you people would realize that your one vote isn't going to decide the election. You're not going to single handily prevent a Scott Walker presidency by voting for Clinton. That's not how elections work.

Until 500 people out of 6,000,000 in Florida take your mentality and George W Bush is inaugurated.

[Türkisblau]

Hillary (D)

I think you guys are overestimating the amount of support Sanders would get.

[Antonio the Sixth]

If Sanders runs, I'll stick with him all the way, tactical voting be damned.

The same type of tactic that we criticize our friend TNF for

Yeah, because a two-term US Senator who was reelected with 71% of the vote is totally the same as some random nobody from the Socialist People's Front or whatever.

[SWE]

Whoever the greens nominate

[RFayette]

Walker, one of the few Republicans I would vote for.

[ElectionsGuy]

Walker, maybe.

[DC Al Fine]

But a scenario like this would almost definitely result in a President Walker, because Sanders would get a good share of Liberals and Dem-leaning Indies.

Not necessarily. Hillary could definitely still win even if he pulled a 2000 Nader-esque performance.

The problem is that Sanders could pull off something between an Anderson and Perot performance... and his electorate would lean much more heavily Dem than Perot or Anderson's.

[Brewer]

Hillary without a shred of doubt.

[Miles]

Hillary without a shred of doubt.

[Wake Me Up When The Hard Border Ends]

Walker, very enthusiastically.

I highly doubt that. Even Nader 2000 is a stretch considering how much more popular Hillary is among the base than Gore was.

[LeBron]

Hillary (D). She's not my preferred Democratic nominee (I like Biden more), but a Sanders Independent candidacy is pretty much giving the middle finger to the establishment so forget him.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Clinton. the world can't afford a climate denier in the White House.

Which candidate doesn't believe in climate?

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Hillary.
