What will it take for voters on either side of the political aisle to unite behind Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton for president this year?

That question lingered after the two candidates scored big wins in Georgia and other states on Super Tuesday.

Trump took about 38.5 percent of the vote in Hall County, and 38.8 percent across the Peach State.

Clinton, meanwhile, secured more than 60 percent of the vote in Hall and better than 71 percent statewide.

Though supporters of GOP candidates Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, as well as self-described “Democratic socialist” Bernie Sanders on the left, remain hopeful for a comeback, the delegate count is leaning more and more in the favor of Trump and Clinton.

“The people of Georgia have spoken,” Hall County Republican Party Chairwoman Debra Pilgrim said.

Though Trump has his detractors on the right, Pilgrim said she believes Republicans will rally around the businessman as a conservative firewall against a Clinton presidency.

“Ultimately, the Republicans know they must take this race,” Pilgrim added.

Dylan Lewis, a student at the University of North Georgia in Gainesville who is active in the Politically Incorrect Club, said he agreed that the GOP would rally behind Trump if he is the nominee — but it’ll come with some heartburn.

“I can’t see myself backing Sanders and Clinton … but, more importantly, I feel like the Republican Party will fracture even further” if they don’t band together, Lewis said.  

A Trump supporter in the early months of the campaign, Lewis said he jumped ship after a few choice remarks from the candidate left him scratching his head in fright.

But the prospect of a third-party run could bode worse for the GOP than the Democrats.

“If (Trump is) the nominee, he has my support,” Lewis said. “God help us.”

For progressive Democrats, Clinton has a lot of work to do to persuade Sanders supporters she’s on their side.

“Clinton needs to convince progressives like myself and many others that she understands the urgency and magnitude of the crisis that working-class Americans are facing right now,” said Gabe Shippy, a member of the Hall County Democratic Party who leads the group’s efforts to attract young voters. “So far, she has yet to do that.”

Paul Glaze, a UNG student, said Sanders’ supporters will want some demands met before switching allegiances, including a tougher stance against the war on drugs, a less hawkish foreign policy and promises to break up the big banks.

Cabinet positions for Sanders and his staff may also be on the tangle, Glaze said.

“(Clinton) underestimates the civil liberties movement and its place in the Sanders coalition,” Glaze said.
