This is a biased & loaded question, I admit. My interest isn't to argue the underlying question of whether Bernie Sanders can win a general election. Though, I suspect it may take place in the comments below this.
I realized that I support the spirit and most of what Sanders champions, but I don't support him as a candidate. And that I don't support him because I don't think he is as likely as Clinton to be able to win a General election campaign. And the risks of a Republican President are enormous at this point.
I believe that Sanders will continue Obama's work in helping to move our Country toward restoring more of a right-left balance. And if Clinton wins, she will be able to campaign and win more to the left than previous Dem presidents. But I don't believe Sanders can win.
So having admitted to all of the biases I have ... my question is...
Assuming that a Sanders Primary win means a Republican General election win... what is your personal priority?
