With Sanders running as an independent.

As proudly as I would cast a vote against her in the primary, I would of course vote for Clinton in the general election.

Hillary with grinding teeth.

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.

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

It says something, that annoying as the Clintons are, she'd still probably be the best of the G20 leaders (who else can compete - Dilma? Renzi? Jokowi?)

I would vote for Walker, but he's far from my first choice for the nominee.

Fortunately Sanders has made clear he wouldn't make such a foolish move.

If Hillary Clinton were to denounce NDAA

yes I'm sure Clinton will denounce annual legislation to fund the military Roll Eyes

Rousseff and Xi are probably the best, which is not really a compliment to them.

Really? Xi???

You're better than that snowstalker.

I had high hopes for Jokowi, but he's not impressing me so far what with the police chief selection chaos and death penalty fetish.

Sanders (I/O)

He won't run as an independent, though, so it won't matter. I'll vote for a socialist.

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

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

Clinton is preferable than Walker, and Sanders has no chance of winning, so her.

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

Bernie Sanders (D).

And I actually think Bernie could win Vermont, or at least come in second. Nationally he'd probably get around 3-6%, sadly.

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.

Sanders is better for privacy and foreign policy which tend to be the issues I care most about in a presidential candidate. On those issues both Clinton and Walker appear to be awful.

Hillary (not a socialist or a fan of putting a union-busting proto-fascist in the White House via the spoiler effect).

Who said one vote would? It would depend on how well he's doing nationally.
