That is how many people have voted for Hillary thus far in this primary -- not counting those who voted in the Iowa, Nevada, or Maine caucuses. Four million, nine hundred forty thousand, ninety-five people, for Hillary Clinton.

Some voted because she is the most qualified candidate, some because they agree with her policies, some because something about Bernie turned them away from him, and some because they want the 227-year woman embargo in the Oval Office to end, and she is the best candidate they are likely to see.

4,940,095 people, turning out in the winter weather to vote in a primary for Hillary Clinton.

Think about that number.

4,940,095.

Now answer me this:

Why in god's name should we be worried about a few tens of thousands of "Bernie or Bust" folks?





Oh, and here's a bonus question:

Even without a specific movement or call to do so, is it any stretch to suppose that one percent of that 4,940,095 will stay home, or go PUMA, if Hillary is not the nominee?

I think not.
