(50,986 posts)Many of us who supported Sanders in our states' primaries still prefer him as the nominee but many Sanders supporters nationwide will not accept Trump's candidacy under any set of circumstances, as most of us are in at least one of the demographic groups he has trashed to get where he is.
You cite polling but polling shifts. Sometimes very dramatically and very swiftly. I believe current polling is unlikely to hold through July, never mind into the fall election. The demographics of the swing states which will decide the electoral college outcome are extremely unfavorable to Donald Trump.
There is a gamble to Hillary Clinton if she is our nominee, but it is owed more to Trump's supporters' unpredictability than to his demographic position.
