Yeah, but neither the #neverTrump faction nor the Bernie faction has enough votes to win...and they won't converge with each other and won't likely converge with their parent party because it's their way or the highway. This is what's funny to me: they think if they can pressure either Hillary or Trump to side with their ideology, they'll come back to the nominee. If the nominee moves farther to one direction to accommodate a 'fringe' element, it makes it harder for that nominee to win the general election.
This could be the lowest presidential vote turnout in history. A third (or fourth) party candidate may garner a substantial number or votes. Either way, the winner will be either Hillary or Trump.
I suppose you're right.
If only the voters could realize that since the main asset of Trump is not being Clinton, and the main asset of Clinton is not being Trump, someone who is neither Trump nor Clinton should be twice as electable.
