Bombshell: 20% of Republicans will vote for Clinton if Trump is the GOP nominee

a reply to: Cygnis

What if it is the opposite, and Hillary gets the popular, but Trump gets the EC?

That is an interesting thought.

All the Trump people crying over delegates now will be praising them and the delegate system to high heaven should it end that way.

Oh, and we'd have another 4 to 8 years of the same "stolen election" vitriol we suffered under with Bush.

The question I have is, what happens if she wins the presidential election and is later indicted and convicted and has to resign the presidency? I would think her VP would automatically take the position of being president. It certainly wouldn't be fair to Bernie Sanders or Trump who have gotten a lot of public support during this election.

What's the scenario if she's convicted before or after being voted in as the democratic nominee? Would Sanders automatically become the democratic nominee or would the democratic establishment have to vote on it or offer other possible candidates? Would they hold a special public election to decide who should be the nominee? This has never happened in a presidential election.

No they won't.

GOP is screwed either way. No one is going to vote for their brokered Establishment candidate either. It's all Hilary unfortunately...

a reply to: Metallicus

And she isn't a brokered establishment candidate?

I have to disagree, I think a lot of Dems are actually going to vote Trump.
They may have rather voted for Bernie, but with him all but out of it, many will go this way, because they don't want an establishment candidate.
