Robert Jeffress is pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dallas. If he were not a "man of God, ", we would probably be tempted to say he seems to have a bit of trouble with the placement of his foot, vis-a-vis his mouth. Maybe the "if" should be removed.
It all comes down to this: Bernie can win the General Election, and Hillary can't.

Is it possible (if Sanders does not get the nomination) to convince progressives in RED STATES to vote for or write-in Sanders or Jill Stein and garner enough votes to begin the process of turning Red States and Blue States to the color purple?

Hillary doesn't need those Sanders voters. Or so I've been told.
Some you older TOP exiles might remember Maryscott O'Connor, a very popular diarist from the days before Markos banned her for being too sensationalist and bombastic for his tastes (I suppose those are as good euphemisms as any for his actions).
