Would you vote for HRC (either now or before)?

[msmerymac]

In response to the email thread. I know we are not representative of the general public, but I thought this would be interesting. 

[msmerymac]

Sorry the wording is awkward. I'm sure you can figure out what to click.

SS: It all depends on who she runs against both in the primary and the general election. I do have more reservations now than I did before.

[Velar Fricative]

If she still gets the nom, she will get my vote but I'll have to hold my nose while doing so. I don't see the GOP electing anyone I would consider voting for.

It's the primary where she may not get my vote.

Word for word.

[secretlyevil]

I voted special snowflake - I will vote for her if she is the Dem nominee. It's not a guarantee. Let's face it, there isn't a viable third party yet. I'm not going to gamble against the Rs.

[heyjude]

The only thing I care about is keeping the WH blue. So SS?

Exactly this. Before Friday's news about her wiping the servers I was all in for her, primary and general. Now I'm watching the D primary very closely and it's very unlikely I'll vote for her in the primary. If she's the nominee I'll vote for her in the general. The Rs have gone way too many centuries back on social issues for me to risk them getting the white house right now, which makes me way too leery to vote 3rd party.

[MrsAxilla]

I'm sure it's obvious from the other thread that I don't give a fuck.

[gpw]

The thing about the primaries, though? What if whoever is running against her in the primary couldn't beat any Republican running? That makes a difference to. So, while it's all well and good to vote for someone else in the primary, what if that person couldn't win the general election?

[bugandbibs]

I'm just not as bothered by this email thing as I should be. Team HRC all the way.

[underwaterrhymes]

If she is the most viable Democratic candidate, I will vote for her, although my enthusiasm has dimmed considerably.

I will never vote for a candidate who would take away my right as a woman to choose, or put more hurdles in the path to equal rights.

I think this depends a bit on where you live and how close the primaries are when your state votes. If she is a lock I can voice my discontent by voting for someone else. If she and Johnny Nochance are neck and neck I will probably vote for her.

ETA: If someone else I like emerges and has a chance I would vote for them.

[ringstrue]

I definitely haven't made up my mind and won't for some time.

[Deleted]

I could be persuaded both before and after to vote for her but it would be much more difficult to convince me now.

[blink]

This has certainly given me reservations. But the GOP choices are even worse, imo. Lesser of two evils kind of thing.

[AJL]

Cynical ol' me just wants to keep a blue white house. I'm sad to say that I've begun to vote for the candidate who sucks the least.

[Deleted]

It depends on who runs against her.

[rosiebear]

I will vote for her. She's smart, experienced, and I think she will be a terrific president.

[LoveTrains]

My state will go blue in the general so it does not matter who I vote for.

[pescalita]

I have the luxury of living in a blue state so I can make all the statement I want with my vote.

I was likely to vote for her before. Now it's extremely unlikely.

[heyjude]

It didn't have to be this way. She wasn't supposed to be my "hold my nose and vote" candidate.

[aurora]

I'll make my final vote after I see who she's running against. But, my vote may very well count so I don't feel like I have the luxury of a 3rd party vote, and right now I can't see the R's putting forth a candidate I'd prefer based on the importance of social issues to me.

I agree.  I'm pissed that she did what she did but when the choice comes down to "someone who deletes emails that she knows she shouldn't" vs "someone who may take away my and other people's rights" - there is no choice there.   Deleted emails is the far lesser crime here in my eyes. 

Some of the possible Republican candidates downright scare me.

[omgzombies]

For the primary, I'd have to be really convinced that whoever else is running has a decent shot of winning the general. Of the people I can think of off hand, no one really meets that requirement, but no one knew who Obama was when he ran, so... there's always a chance. So most likely HRC, but I would never say never on this one.

For the general, I will vote Dem pretty much regardless right now. I want the WH to be blue for the next Supreme Court Justice nomination, and I would guess that will be during the next Presidents term. Who sits in the WH is less important to me then who sits on the Supreme Court. 4-8 years vs. a lifetime appointment.

And me.  And I was pretty much in her camp.

[Deleted]

There's a 98% chance I will vote for the Democratic nominee. I would be happy if HRC becomes President. As for the primaries? I have a 100% history of voting for presidential primary candidates that do not become President so I have no real ambition on that front anymore (pours one out for Bill Bradley).

[greeneggs]

I live in Texas so my vote is automatically flushed down the toilet every time. I'd have to think hard about it during primary season but if she's the nominee I'll do it because I have hopes of Texas turning to a nice shade of magenta one day.

[lg28]

Obviously I can't vote, but I still think HC is probably a good choice. I think, like most of her political counterparts, she screwed up and tried to cover it up. Surprising? Not at all, but certainly disappointing.
For me, it would depend on who she is running against in the primaries.
