Sanders is polling less than 20% on the last polls that I saw but evidently anyone who does not support Sanders are not really democrats. That view is sad.

Many of the HRC supporters like Sanders but we are worried about his viablity in a general election contest. That does not not make such supporters third way or non-democrats.
