1. It'll be higher after Sanders drops out and higher again after people have a few months to

ponder the possibility of President Donald Trump.

This pretty much proves what we already know. DU is a crazy island in a sea of relative normalcy.

3. Yep.

5. My initial thoughts

were the same as yours. More will vote for her than being reported.

4. In 08, I moved from candidate to candidate

I initially suppored Edwards - not sure what I was thinking there.
Then I supported Hillary
But Obama's message was spot on.

But I was going to vote for whoever the nominee was. This round, I would have to hold my nose if I hade vote for Sanders. He has so turned me off.

6. In 19 more days I predict that percentage goes up 10%!

7. PUMAS in 2008 tended to be concentrated in Appalachia and Arkansas

States where Obama had little to chance anyway.

8. Which shows that DU Bernie supporters ...

are just a little group of screaming trolls.
