Latest WSJ/NBC Poll – 33% of Sanders Supporters Won’t Vote for Clinton

Screen Shot 2016-03-17 at 9.24.21 AM

While it might sound strange, a coronation of Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary will mark the end of the party as we know it. There’s been a lot written about the “Sanders surge,” with much of it revolving around Hillary Clinton’s extreme personal weakness as a candidate. While this is indisputable, it’s also a convenient way for the status quo to exempt itself from fault and discount genuine grassroots anger. I’m of the view that Sanders’ support is more about people liking him than them disliking Hillary, particularly when it comes to registered Democrats. He’s not merely seen as the “least bad choice.” People really do like him.

The Sanders appeal is twofold. He is seen as unusually honest and consistent for someone who’s held elected office for much of his life, plus he advocates a refreshingly anti-establishment view on core issues that matter to an increasing number of Americans. These include militarism, Wall Street bailouts, a two-tiered justice system, the prohibitive cost of college education, healthcare insecurity and a “rigged economy.” While Hillary is being forced to pay lip service to these issues, everybody knows she doesn’t mean a word of it. She means it less than Obama meant it in 2008, and Obama really didn’t mean it.

– From the post: It’s Not Just the GOP – The Democratic Party is Also Imploding

This is a theme I’ve been writing about for months now. Many Sanders supporters don’t merely see Hillary Clinton as a slightly watered down version of the Vermont Senator; rather, they accurately see her as both a neocon war criminal and corrupt Wall Street puppet. A significant percentage of them will never vote for her.

According to a recent WSJ/NBC poll, that number is 33%. While I’m not convinced it’ll end up being that high, it could easily end up being at least 25%.

The evidence of this reality is piling up fast, and it makes Trump a far more serious challenger in the general than partisan Democratic hacks are willing to admit.

  1. I think the number is even higher than 33%. Bottom line: Sanders voters are not “Clinton voters letting of steam”. We want change. Hopefully, it will come from President Sanders, but I will settle for anyone but Clinton!

      “Hillary is the personification of corruption. She has collected billions in bribes through her Clinton Foundation. She is so arrogant that she had her daughter Chelsea run her operation exposing her only child to criminal charges. Hillary is unlikely to ever be jailed for her many crimes because she knows enough about Washington deals to send thousands of Republicans and Democrats to jail. President Obama will have to pardon the Clintons including Chelsea or face a lengthy jail term after he leaves office.”

    • It must be recognized that the reality show called “Presidential Elections” is becoming extremely entertaining:

  2. Democrats can’t win general elections without even 5% of their base voters staying home. Hillary cannot win against almost any Republican.

    The Clintons’ $93 Million Romance with Wall Street: a Catastrophe for Working Families, African-Americans, and Latinos

    by Richard W. Behan

    For 24 years Bill and Hillary Clinton have courted Wall Street money with notable success. During that time the New York banks contributed:

    * $11.17 million to Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign in 1992.

    *$28.37 million for his re-election in 1996.

    *$2.13 million to Hillary Clinton’s senatorial campaign in 2002.

    *$6.02 million for her re-election in 2006.

    *$14.61 million to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2008.

    *$21.42 million to her 2016 campaign.

    The total here is $83.72 million for the six campaigns,i ii disbursed from eleven congenial banks: Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, UBS, Bank of America/Merrill Lynch, Wells Fargo, Barclay’s, JP Morgan Chase, CIBC, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, and Morgan Stanley.iii iv

    • Mrs Clinton grew more and more impatient as the Waco stand-off came to dominate the headlines [Hillary wanted to get so-called “heath care reform” done, and Waco was taking all the headlines in spring, 1993, so Hillary forced the Waco resolution with disastrous results and a lot of death – Robert Morrow ] during the early months of the Clinton administration, said Bell. It was she, according to Bell’s sources, who pressured a reluctant Janet Reno to act.

      Hillary Ordered The Final Massacre At Waco

  4. The late Ambassador Chris Stevens, a CIA operative, was largely responsible for the take down of the Libyan government with the help of al-Qaeda who was being armed by Stevens on behalf of the CIA. At the time of Stevens death, he was doing the same in Syria. As word began to leak out in the months prior to the 2012 Presidential election, Stevens sloppiness had become a huge liability for the current administration and he had to be “dealt with”. Stevens sensed the danger and asked then Secretary of State Clinton for more bodyguards. She refused to honor the request. Further, the military attempted to capitalize on the fact that Stevens, if rescued from the attack that will end in his death, might offer public testimony about his illicit affairs which were sanctioned by the Obama administration in order to cut a deal to protect himself from prosecution. These affairs included gun running to al-Qaeda, drug, gun and sex trafficking of children to support the flow of arms to al-Qaeda. And of course, it was during this time that the CIA funded the rise of ISIS in order to take attention off of al-Qaeda.

    All of these actions would have involved the Secretary of State, who at the time, was Hillary Clinton. Yet, these affairs would have to be kept off of the books. Hence, this is why Hillary put classified and top secret material on her private server. The content of Clinton’s emails will never see the light of day because ultimately she is protected by Obama’s executive privilege and Obama’s ultimate ability to pardon.

    Documentation

    The late Carl Sagan once said that “extraordinary claims requires extraordinary proof. I have extensive documentation for the claims made in the previous paragraphs. I have prepared links which supports all claims and at the end of the day, it is clear that Hillary Clinton’s most damaging emails can only be about one thing.

  5. It is important to establish the difference between Liberal and Labour/Socialist.

    Where even the UK term Labour, and US term Socialist, are just versions of Capitalism that lie on the Left, not true Socialism.

    Liberals are left leaning elitists who are always using words like “populist” to show their disdain for the masses.

    They want those lower down to have reasonable lives but very much believe the elite should run things, people like them.

    New Labour were really Liberals, but the UK election system meant they had to hide under the Labour banner to get into power. They lived in places like Hampstead where they never had to mix with the hoi polloi and believed in private schools, so their children don’t have to mix with the great unwashed.

    Labour/Socialists represent the people and identify with them.

    With the technocrat elite messing things up globally it is time for real Labour and Socialists to make their presence felt.

    There is a world of difference between Liberals and the real Left and a
    three party system makes sense.

    The New Labour sympathisers need to get themselves under the correct banner, Liberal.

    The US needs a third party.

    Clinton – elitist Liberal
    Sanders – Left
