If Bernie and Hillary trash each other too much this will only help the GOP in November because each of their core supporters will stay home.
I'm already seeing a lot of that, mostly from Sanders supporters (my unscientific sample is on Facebook), who are kind of being dicks to Clinton supporters.
I mean, I actually can't comprehend that a Sanders supporter would believe Trump, Cruz, or Rubio would be better than Clinton (or vice versa: a Clinton supporter thinking Trump, Cruz, or Rubio would be better than Sanders). That they'd stay home and not vote out of spite.
I would think that, regardless of which Democratic candidate someone supports, they could all agree that the current GOP shitshow is too horrific to let into the Oval Office.
I'm voting for Clinton in the primary, but I'll vote for whoever gets the Democratic nomination (though I do think Sanders is less electable in the general than Clinton is).
I’m curious myself because I was born outside the US but to an American citizen.
I sometimes wonder about this since I was adopted by Canadian Citizens while they were legal residents in the United States. Of course my adoption is sealed so from a legal standpoint it appears that I was born to Canadian citizens on U.S. soil.

One of us! One of us! One of us!

I know people who dislike Clinton enough (too Hawkish, too part of the establishment they hate) that they'd stay home and not vote.
They've called Iowa for Clinton just barely, by like 2 points. Basically a tie. Trump gave a speech trying to spin coming in 2nd as a win. Any chance he'll take his hair and go home now...
One of us! One of us! One of us!
I need to get around to getting my Canadian ID card since I'm of the right age that I got scooped up in the Wake Up Canadian thing a few years ago.
Nah, Trump won't go home. But I am not so secretly looking forward to him turning up the Rubio hate. He just put himself in Trump's path. It is horrible enough to have Rubio as a senator from my state.
I am Teppy. Hillary is my first choice but I will enthusiastically support Bernie in the unlikely event he goes all the way. I was for Hillary in 2008 but was standing in the long lines the first day for early voting for Obama in both elections. The alternative is just too scary. Once again I worry about the Supreme Court and what would happen if someone like Cruz gets to pick. (sorry didn't mean to give anyone nightmares)
One of us! One of us! One of us!
With all the Trump talk DH is talking again about looking into his status since his father was a Canadian citizen.
Wish I had some path to citizenship elsewhere! Just in case...(quick, any Canadians or EU citizens want to gay marry me?)
Last night I discovered that Colorado does caucuses, so I get to caucus on March 1st. The last election with a caucus was my first year in Colorado and I guess I missed it completely, then they didn't have one 4 years ago because Obama was the only candidate on the Democratic side.
I feel like someone in Bloom County going off to caucus. Wish me Opus.
