Same thing the other way. Romney or McCain probably beats Sanders or Clinton by double digits.
You're exactly right. My exact comments to friends were that the loser, whether it be the left or right side, would regret not having a run of the mill candidate in the general election. Because either side would have been destroyed by "Joe Blow" Democrat/Republican in a general election.
I vote Democrat about 95% of the time. Had Paul or some other well-balanced individual been the Republican nominee, I'd have voted for that person over Clinton. Which is why I'm not all emotionally worked up over the results.
As an aside, I haven't read all the way through this thread, so it may have been posted already, but I saw that only 46.9% of a total 231 million or so eligible voters bothered to vote. Amazing.
And I bet a good portion of that 231 million are the ones whining and crying on social media. That group of people can kindly STFU. If they want to be apathetic about the electoral process, then they have no reason to complain about the elected government officials.
Just like Colin Kapernick's dumb ass. You say you're kneeling to symbolically influence change but you won't take your black ass to the poll to vote to actually effect change? He can STFU as well. He's been traded to the white delegation, Dave Chappelle style.
