So, polls show Sanders is helping Trump

Benjy Sarlin ?@BenjySarlin 2h2 hours ago
Polls suggest Sanders is helping Trump. Which ironically will raise D tensions as Clinton fans are about to go ballistic over these polls.

If anything, polls show that some Sanders supporters won't support Clinton. But we already knew that.

Clinton has only herself to blame for her low energy Jeb Bush style campaign... Even when she tries to fake the enthusiasm and energy that Sanders exudes she looks phony. Then again everything she does has the appearance of being calculated and phony

He's beating Trump handily, while she's just eking out a win.

She and many of her supporters have done everything possible to belittle the Bernie supporters, as if they won't matter come the general election. Big mistake. Big, big mistake.

13. That isn't what the New York poll said, there were twice as many

Clinton supporters that said they wouldn't vote Sanders and I believe that number would be higher if there was a "safe" establishment alternative like JEB.

Conservatives dip out all the time since Reagan but also want to utilize party loyalty to prop up their people from the secular wing of the conservative party.
