Some of you are Clinton supporters and some of you are Sanders supporters. Should the Democrat you do not currently support win the nomination, will you vote for that candidate in the general election?

I'll probably end up voting for Clinton in the Florida primary if I change to Democratic party affiliation. I'll vote for whoever ends up the Democratic nominee in the end though.

It will depend. I may vote for Webb, but it all depends who Hillary picks as VP and how honest I feel she is by next November.

Gladly and with enthusiasm. This country can't take four years of a Republican administration.

If Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz is the Republican nominee, I'll have no choice sadly.

I don't have a vote, but am supporting Hillary and would not support a candidate like Bernie Sanders over someone like Trump, who, while admittedly similarly anti-immigrant and demagogic, would at least stand up to ISIS.

I support Clinton and could not support Sanders in the general should he win the nomination. I just don't think he is qualified to be President.

If some lunatic like Cruz or Rubio wins the Republican nomination, I will enthusiastically vote for Bernie Sanders.

Nah, I'd vote for the inevitable Indy candidate who would arise in a Trump/Sanders match-up. Or maybe Rubio. Sanders is a nut.

Yes, I will vote for Sanders in the Primary, but will certainly vote for Hillary in the General if she is the nominee.

What a pleasant surprise, DrScholl. Will you support TRUMP then?

[insert negative comment about Sanders here]
Why not use some of your own quotes?
Looks like someone escaped from the loony bin lol
I think that, in this scenario, the American people would come together to vote against the candidate who is an obvious danger to the integrity of our democratic institutions.  Demogoguery can only get you so far, and eventually America will wake up to the fact that they're being sold snake oil by a man dead set on destroying the constitutional foundations of this country. 

TRUMP would destroy Sanders.
Quote from: Restricted
You must be logged in to read this quote.

Did Hitler have to personally gas my people to be responsible for The Holocaust?  Sanders and his cult are directly responsible for the rampant gun violence in this country and need to be held responsible by any means possible.
Sanders' record is that of a gun nut and a man deep up the NRA's rectum.
Lots of conspiracy theories and little evidence.  Typical of the Sandernista camp.

Meanwhile, the loon himself is literally robbing the American people with his multi-billion dollar shampaign.
This was just a sampling of some your anti-Sanders quotes in the last week. They take up almost half the stuff you post. You must really hate Sanders. In one of your other posts you mentioned that you once held a higher opinion of Sanders, but it has since dropped. What happened?

Yes, unfortunately the good Senator, perhaps inspired by his supporters, has become a troll over the past few months. Very sad.

I used to think that he was just a harmless progressive who had some unfortunate views on things like foreign policy and guns.  Now I think he's literally one of the most horrible people in American politics.  He's a political fraud, merrily destroying the activist left in this country with his hopeless campaign.  He has ridiculous beliefs on a myriad of issues.  On issues where he has reasonable positions, he dumbs down his rhetoric to the point where he sounds like a broken record and a frothing at the mouth conspiracy theorist.  And let's not even get into the crooks he's hired to run his shampaign.

But what pisses me off almost as much are his supporters.  They're ing annoying on the internet and ing annoying in real life.  Many of them are some of the smuggest, sh**ttiest sh**tty white liberals the planet has ever seen.  They're openly hostile and intensely condescending towards anyone who doesn't share their sh**tty ivory tower worldview and support their cult leader as uncritically as they do.  You should've seen the vitriol they spewed at my friends when they dared to take the mic from Saint Bernie at one of his sad little rallies.  Honestly by far the most racist and misogynist comments I've heard from any supporters have come from Sandernistas.  Double plus points on the misogyny too.  The vast majority of critiques of Clinton (and that ev0l harpy DWS!) I've heard from these people are laced with gendered slurs.  If a large portion of Sandernistas act like Reddit-trawling gamergater sh**tlords, it's because they are.  

I think my respect for Sanders would go up significantly if he took one minute to call out some of the bullsh**t his supporters have been spewing.  But he won't, because all of the evidence so far points to the fact that he's every bit as much a condescending lunatic as they are.  

tl;dr, if I had a gun with two bullets and was in a room with Hitler, the Devil, and Bernie Sanders, I'd shoot Sanders twice.

You're right about that, my friend. I am an independent, and some of Bernie's proposals, are good, but the supporters are very cult-like. If Hillary Clinton loses in November, Sanders' supporters may be responsible for a Presidents Cruz, Trump, Christie, Rubio.
