Saying Hillary is struggling in polling because she was stuck in a primary ignores the fact that if she were popular she wouldn't still be stuck in a primary. This has everything to do with people simply not liking her despite having the backing of the establishment, industries with deep pockets, and name recognition firmly in her corner.

It might be time to perhaps admit this is a problem of her own making instead of scapegoating Bernie Sanders.
