As for Hilary vs Trump head-to-head, here's a post I made on TTA:
If Trump is the Republican nominee, they will lose one-fifth of their vote -- even if they don't flip to Hilary, they may well stay home.
I like Sanders and would have liked to see him nominated -- he lacks Clinton's negatives in large part, and would cut into Trump's appeal to independents in a big way. I don't think he will get the nod, but I don't think he should drop out, either. I think he should get more aggressive and if nothing else serve as a useful sparring partner.
Quote:I heard a story the other day on NPR reporting that about 40% of Republican voters said they probably would not vote for Trump in the general election. This is not that report, but it supports it, and contains an additional startling poll result: 19% of Republicans state that if Trump is the Republican nominee, they will vote for Clinton.
Let that sink in for a moment.
