From about 8 years ago:

This cycle feels different, however. The BernieorBusters seem a little more determined, and their desertion from the party at large seems somewhat more committed, with ramifications downballot more ominous. '08's PUMAs did not vacate as much as they told pollsters they would, but their Democratic roots were firmer than the Berners. There's been much evidence, anecdotal and otherwise, that Bernie's independent support is vast and exclusive to him.

Michigan's results are the most recent example.
