If you visited PUMA forums, some of them were racists (and no i'm not saying all Hillary supporters are racists - in fact I strongly suspect few are). But back then, it was noticeable.

You started an op premised on the point that Bernie supporters are more loyal to the dem party than Hillary supporters were.

Maybe Bernie supporters are just less racist than Hillary supporters.

The percentage of Hillary supporters who would vote for Bernie has been higher than the reverse for months.

But I do think a clear majority of Sanders supporters will ultimately vote for Clinton in November. The DU crowd is not representative of the population at large. And the following article reinforces the OP: http://www.mediaite.com/online/how-bad-is-poll-that-says-25-of-bernie-sanders-fans-wont-vote-for-hillary/

All of the BoB talk combined with an adherence to hypothetical general election match-up polls (which have proven to be historically worthless), along with some bitterness and wishful thinking, has given rise to the notion that only Sanders can beat Trump. Even though there's a pretty broad consensus outside of the DU bubble that says different.

It'll go up a bit more as the rest have some time to contemplate President Donald Trump.
