Bernie Sanders will still be the Democratic Nominee

will tell you that national polls are not a good way to gauge primary outcomes in a US Presidential election when individual states drive the voting.

And while you have it right that most Republicans (white males especially) hate Hillary with a passion only equal to that of some Sanders supporters who swarm positive Hillary posts on DU and elsewhere, most Sanders supporters who are Democrats understand the long goal = defeating ANY GOPer. You also forget (or ignore) that there are Independent AND Republican women who would choose Hillary over ANY GOPer because they know exactly how the war on women will go if any GOPer gets into office. They might not be the young ones you likely hang out with, but they have been through the "wars" so to speak and will not forget what those "wars" were like.

In fact, I was surprised last week when I was holding signs for Hillary at early voting in MD. One woman came up to me after she had voted to tell me that she had specifically changed her MD registration from I to D so that she could vote for Hillary. She then continued to say that she was changing back to I for the GE, but that she WILL support Hillary in the GE if she is the candidate.

I know that this doesn't fit your narrative. But it does fit the reality.
