17. The fact is that the reason Sanders runs better in some GE polls than Hillary does

is that Hillary supporters will support the Democratic nominee no matter who it is because we can see there really is a difference between having a Democratic president and a Republican president. Too many Sanders supporters (right now) are too blinded by the campaign and won't support Hillary. I'm sure some of this will change down the road once she is the nominee, but it is disheartening right now.
