6. Stein won't be the person

who prevents Hillary from becoming President unless ALL of those who supported Bernie vote for Jill Stein instead. That just isn't going to happen.

The overwhelming majority of Bernie supporters had already switched to supporting Hillary even before his endorsement yesterday. A few holdouts may also now support her - with varying degrees of enthusiasm. The small percentage of Bernie supporters who will never support Hillary likely contains more who would support Gary Johnson or even Trump over Stein. But yes, she may get a tiny percentage of those.

Right now, here is the wiki overview of her 2016 campaign. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Stein_presidential_campaign,_2016 In the aggregate polling, she is not polling more than 3.8%. Johnson is polling higher, at 7%.

The REAL enemy is Trump. Let's not waste our time and energy on Stein.
