If Stein ha a chance a legitimate chance to win those leaning in here direction would have go think long and hard about whether they really want to have someone as unqualified as she is running the country.

Since she has absolutely no chance to win they feel it is safe to vote for here. You have to worry about people who can rationalize their vote for Stein in that manner - "I can vote for her because she has no chance to win" - requires a tortured brand rationalization.
