I just don't believe the polls that are saying that Bernie is going to win Texas. Sorry, but it's just not what I expect.

I will vote for whomever is the Democratic nominee, but I hope it is not Sanders.

Sorry, it's just not very likely. Remember that Beto ultimately couldn't beat Cruz, despite Cruz not having anywhere near the rabid support of tRump.

A candidate who can keep it competitive would be very important for down-ticket races. We're trying to flip the legislature and there are some very important House and Senate races.

Now, interestingly, the people might argue "but MOE," might tend to so only in cases in which the polling may not appear to favor the candidate for whom they indicate support.
