Poll: Sen. Bernie Sanders for president

A majority of respondents in an online Argus-Courier poll said they will vote for Sen. Bernie Sanders in California’s June 7 primary. More than 40 percent said they would vote for Sanders, D-Vermont, while nearly 25 percent said they would vote for Republican Donald Trump and another 25 percent said they supported Democrat Hillary Clinton. Almost 10 percent said they supported someone else.

Here are some comments:

--

“Any one who says that they are voting for the ‘lesser evil’ because this country is not ready for Bernie, is making us not ready for Bernie.”

--

“Bernie Sanders and his socialist beliefs will without a doubt destroy our country. Hillary Clinton is another four years of Obama, who clearly has done enough damage. While Donald Trump is not an ideal president either, he is certainly the lesser of all evils.”

--

“Bernie Sanders is honest and trustworthy. He has lived his entire life and hasn’t betrayed his core beliefs for money or power. How many other politicians can say that? Not many. Bernie has my vote.”

--

“Bernie Sanders is not only the one candidate who can beat Trump, he is the only candidate with the best interests of everyday Americans at heart. This presidential election is our chance to finally catch up with the rest of the developed world in healthcare, education and tax equity.”

--

“Clinton has a breadth of experience. She has specific proposals for addressing issues - environment, economy, infrastructure, education. She has worked with diverse groups. It’s also time for a woman to be president.”

--

“If Donald Trump wins, we may move to Canada.”

--

“I will vote for Hillary Clinton because she has the experience, judgment and wisdom to be an excellent president. It is a personal thrill to be able to vote for a woman who is so supremely qualified for this office, and I’m really looking forward to seeing a female president at last.”

--

“I can’t vote for a sworn Socialist or another Clinton, so I will vote for Trump.”

--

“Eight years ago, I couldn’t wait to vote for Hillary. Since then, she’s sold out like too many others and has lost my vote. I just hope that Sanders makes a good showing here in California. Otherwise I’ll vote for Hillary in November. I despise having to vote for who I dislike the least.”

--

“Even though I know Sanders won’t win the nomination, I want to show my support for his voice in this campaign.”
