If either Sanders or Hildabeast are the candidate, the whole thing turns against the dems everywhere. They are horrible candidates on the level of Jeb.

The question would then be better asked: Which of THOSE two candidates can win even three quarters of the States that the bamster did?

Unless she is indicted before the general election, Hillary starts with 42-45% of the popular vote and at least 2/3 of the electoral votes that Obama won. I fear that Cruz will scare off enough moderates/independents to tilt the balance towards Hillary. After 2008 and 2012, I won’t underestimate the strength of identity politics among swing/undecided voters.
