22. So your candidate lost, eh?

I do agree that the claims of what the poll shows are greatly exaggerated. I voted for Sanders in the poll, because I won't vote for Clinton in the primaries. If other candidates join the race I'll evaluate my options.

I am very surprised at how lopsided the vote was, given that it wasn't just a handful of participants. I think that does say something about how challenging not only the primaries, but the general election (assuming a Clinton nomination) will be.
