4. I've already been looking at the Bernie vs. Trump polls

as what Hillary vs. Trump is roughly going to look like once the nomination is clinched and Bernie himself is fully on board.

Why? Because Bernie's supporters are telling pollsters they won't vote for Hillary, but Hillary's supporters are not saying the same thing.

counting eggs.

6. "...Democrat Bernie Sanders leads Trump by 15 points, 54 percent to 39 percent. "

9. Shame they don't just hand it to him

irrespective of the fact that he's got fewer delegates.

7. i think that's what it'll end up being -- 7-8%

Not a closed primary.

10. I think this is about the GE

8. And? What's the problem?

When the primary is actually over and we have one nominee, all that noise will settle out.

Such an insecure bunch the hilly folk are.

11. What was there estimate for Bernie's lead if Hillary was out of the race?

I don't see it from the link?

Would he also get a 5 point bump, and go from 15 points up to 20 points?
