You MIGHT have buyer's remorse a couple years after Trump or Cruz wins. Especially Cruz. Maybe more buyer's remorse when a 7-2 conservative Supreme Court is handing down awful rulings for the next 20 years.

Ah, OK. Still seems bizarre to me.

fwiw i'm mocking someone deciding to soapbox about how clinton's somehow a worse option than trump/cruz/kasich in a thread ostensibly for clinton supporters

Yes.
I'll add though that I'm very unsure he's prepared to be President right now, and would have to hope he grows into the job quickly.

How does someone trust Cruz more than Hillary?
lots of people vote based on things other than actual policy positions
it doesn't make sense to me but trump is a thing so it has to be true

Replace "Hillary" with "Bernie" and you have pretty much all of reddit.

If he's an ineffective 1 term president, we still get a liberal Supreme Court for at least a decade.
If he's an ineffective two termer (some how), the Supreme Court is Liberal for the rest of time (or until time catches up to them and the once liberal court is now conservative)
If, by some miracle, he's manages to get a ton of awesome stuff passed, the country might head into some really great prosperity.
I agree. She would be way better than any Republican option.

Honestly, if the Supreme Court wasn't such a huge issue, I might be tempted to vote Kasich over Sanders. I think there's an outside chance that Sanders' policies, if enacted, would cause a recession.
Of course, given that Congress would never pass his policies, I'd rather have him as chief executive than Kasich.

How could you vote for Trump or Cruz over Hillary if you support Bernie's agenda? How? That's a seemingly indefensible position???

Yes, that's why I would vote for him. I'm not saying I'd consider voting for anyone else on the GOP side, or not vote at all.
Sure. I like Bernie and I appreciate the fact he comes off very genuine, even if though I think a lot of his promises aren't realistic. I mean, I'd vote for any democrat over the insane crazies that are in the republican party right now.
Having said that, this seems like kind of a moot point because barring some kind of insane disaster Hillary's gonna get the nom.

you can't put a price on sparks
im going scorched earth and voting the people who will deport all of the democrats from the united states
whoever the democratic nominee is is getting my vote. i'm less pro-democrat and more anti-republican/anti-bullshit.

Are you at all aware of Kasich's social views?
Done in one.

It is an objectively indefensible position when you approach it from a place of facts based on the candidate's positions. But that's the rub, it isn't a rational statement. It's an emotional statement. Questioning the "Bernie is the best but I'd rather vote for someone who literally opposes everything he stands for instead of someone who agrees with him like 85% of the time" stance is never going to be met with a reasonable reply, because it doesn't come from a place of reason. It's based on feelings and emotional rhetoric.

That because many Hillary Democrats are social liberals and fiscal conservatives.
Kaisch is a fiscal conservative and not as extreme on the social positions as the other two republicans.
Bernie is far too fiscally liberal for them to stomach.
A few good falls as a baby. That's my only explanation.

Yeah. He would be the most ineffectual candidate which aligns with my priorities when voting for the POTUS.

This. The guys a fuck.
Very well put.
Kasich is every bit as extreme on social positions, people just aren't paying attention.
But as said earlier:

Everything about this post is incorrect.
I'm getting real tired of being told in not so many words that I'm a conservative because I support Hillary.

The intent of this thread is pretty clear to anyone that read the OP.
They're asking if Hillary supporters would support Bernie if he (somehow) got the nom.
A lot of the posters in here aren't exactly reading the OP.

I'm with you, except flip Hilary and Cruz. Here's my order:
1. Bernie
2. Kaisich
3. Trump
4. Hilary
5. Cruz

Absolutely. The Supreme Court appointments are too important to let batshit insane Cruz or Trump pick them.

There really is no other option. Like everything Sanders is saying, but so much of it sounds like a lot of optimism with no real plan. Hilary is getting my vote, but if Bernie is the only option so be it. I couldn't live with myself if I voted Trump, Kaisch or Cruz.

The fact that a man who thinks you can pray the gay away somehow came out of Republican primary campaign as the "moderate" one will never not be funny to me.
As for the thread topic, sure, I'd vote for Bernie for President.
