Nothing that fits into the category of ‘scandal’ could get me to vote against the Dem nominee. What _could_ get me to vote against the Dem nominee: they’d have to demonstrate somehow that, as President, they’d likely be even more of a disaster for America than Trump is. What could get me to simply not vote: if the Dem nominee committed an extremely serious crime. But in that case, the party would surely declare its nomination null and void, and nominate someone new. So I doubt that’s really a possibility that a voter would have to reckon with. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-bad-a-scandal-for-you-to-not-vote-for-trumps-2020-democratic-opponent/829704)._
