Actually, quite the opposite, which is why salon.com has to write these politicized articles. If you actually thought this, you would just let the events unfold.
Nobody wants Hillary and Sanders will never get in running as a 'socialist'. All of the polls show the GOP ahead. Trump hasn't even effected the Hispanic vote with his crude comments (although, I don't think he will win).
No polling data supports that; certainly, early polls aren't guarantees of final results, but they are a pretty good indicator of what people want now.
> Sanders will never get in running as a 'socialist'
Perhaps. Certainly he's rightly perceived as an underdog in the Democratic race.
> All of the polls show the GOP ahead.
While early polls aren't particularly useful, that's simply not true. Every 2016 head-to-head poll shows Clinton beating every GOP candidate she is polled against (with the wide lead she currently has in Democratic primary polling, very few pollsters is doing head-to-head polls featuring any of the other Democratic nominees.)
> Trump hasn't even effected the Hispanic vote with his crude comments
The one Nevada poll usually cited by Trump and his supporters to make that claim [0][1] just shows that (with a very small Hispanic subsample, so wide margin of error on the figures), Trump is the lead candidate among Hispanic Republicans in Nevada by a slightly larger margin than he is the first choice of Nevada Republicans more generally.
