32. I most certainly do believe that Hillary can and will win.

The SBS supporters that I know personally will certainly support Hillary in the GE if she is the Dem nominee. I believe that they represent most of those who currently support SBS here. We have more in common than we have with ANY GOPer.

There is a strident core group of SBS supporters here who SAY that they support SBS but spend ALL their time here trashing HRC rather than promoting SBS. IMO, a good number among that core are not Dems, have never been Dems, have never supported Dem causes or candidates and either are GOP trolls or adolescents or nutcases (or both) who just want to post flamebait.

I have spent time phone-banking for Hillary during the past couple weeks and will phone-bank for her again next week - and as long as I have to because I really believe that she is the best candidate in 2016.

Last week and this week, I called voters in OK. Among those I reached last week, the majority told me they were undecided. This week, the overwhelming majority of those I reached were strongly for Hillary (4:1 ratio over Bernie). Of those who told me they would be voting for Bernie in the primary, half also volunteered (I hadn't asked) that they would vote for whoever is the Dem nominee in the GE.

DU is not representative of the real world.
