How Many Sanders Supporters Will Be Elected To Congress

[MineralMan]

in 2016?

How many current Clinton endorsers already in Congress will be reelected?

How many Democratic seats in Congress will we gain in 2016, and how many of them support Clinton?

These are questions that make a huge difference in what will happen, beginning in 2017.

1. I agree; but, introducing the Bernie part, will likely cause a food fight. n/t

2. Well, I also came up with a poll that asks some questions.

They're related to this.

3. They have outright stated that they believe they will pull republicans to the polls for Sanders.

Do you think those people will also vote democratic down ticket?

[MineralMan]

5. I doubt that Sanders will pull any significant number of

Republican voters. The GOP would attack him mercilessly if he were nominated.

6. I think they were talking about pulling Republicans to the PRIMARY polls for Sanders ...

and those voters aren't going to vote Democratic in G/E.

[NCTraveler]

10. I agree that is what is mostly said.

I do think they feel they will pull even more republican support in the ge. I don't buy that at all but have seen it stated. They seem to feel a lot of things.

4. bernie sanders is a party of one - he's not going to do anything for down ticket dems nt

9. I guess if those down ticket dems don't want to support FDR like strategies that REAL Democrats...

... have supported in the past that Bernie is trying to bring back to this party, then they probably don't deserve support as the DINOs that many of them are.

12. Can you be a party of one with millions of supporters?

Doubt it.

7. A better question is how many Sanders supporters will have PAC money being spent against them...

... from all of the corporate elites that feel they need to keep him and those who support him out of power to represent the 99% instead of them as the 1%!!!

Yep, Sanders' supporters have a big challenge in Citizen's United PAC money being spent against them, but they have our back in voting for them, and voting against those that would work against him when given a better option to support.

Endorsements are just like NASCAR sponsoring stickers on a race car driver's clothing in my book.

8. Hillary will lose the GE and the Democrats will lose many seats in Congress.

It's becoming more and more obvious.

11. A few brave ones that prefer to be on the right side of history rather than kissing corporate ass

Ones that know Americans deserve healthcare as a basic right.

Believe the death penalty is wrong and should be abolished.

Understand that the too big to fail banks are corrupt and need to be broken up.

Who care about the overwhelming corporate control on our govt. because of Citizen United.

Who understand that climate change is real and will work to protect the future for children and grandchildren and won't water down the effort to appease corporations

Yes. Just few courageous souls who know America needs to join the rest of the modern world and that we need to quit playing games with America's future. ...

13. And when DWS/Hillary lose the GE

Along with many of her endorsers because of their idiotic 'strategy', camp weather-vane will start the finger pointing. But, alas, there will be three fingers pointing back at them.

14. When Trump suggests that those who support his opponents are stupid

We laugh and roll our eyes.

But it seems to me that some of the supporters of both Sanders and Clinton make arguments that come perilously close to doing the same thing: accusing the people who support the opposition of being stupid.
