It’s like you want a cheeseburger and someone offers you the choice of watermelon, cantaloupe, or kiwi fruit. None of them is even close to what you want. Maybe you take the kiwi fruit because it’s the most “different” of the choices, or to protest the lack of cheeseburgers on the menu, but now they think you love kiwi fruit and order more for you.
My son is a Bernie supporter but would probably vote for Ron Paul before any of the other candidates running, and would probably pick Vermin Supreme if the only other choice was Donald Trump. I’m not sure Bernie supporters necessarily go to Hillary. Voter turnout among young people tends to be low, and if they don’t have a candidate they like, maybe they just stay home.

Also come Nov all the Sanders supporters will vote for Clinton because they are really not that much different. But on the republican side most non-trump supporters are pretty squeamish about actually voting for trump. Polls* have shown that non-trump republicans would rather: 1. not vote 2. write in someone else 3. just vote for Clinton to make sure trump is nowhere near the nuclear football. (*polls this far out are pretty meaningless tho...hello president Giuliani, Romney, Huckabee, Santorum ;-) -Sean On Tuesday, March 22, 2016, Josh Reynolds <j...@kyneticwifi.com> wrote: Chuck, So I'm watching the polling right now.. it's *very* early, only 3% (R) and 11% (D) ballots counted.

Since you're over there in beautiful Utah, I'm interested in hearing your (and others) thoughts on this so far.
