We're dealing with a very narrow minority who is lashing out immaturely. Those are the ones trashing Hillary, lying about her, saying they'll vote for someone else. But again, vocal minority, and very tiny minority at that.


In exit polls, Hillary does great with BERNIE supporters. There is actually quite strong solidarity among Democrats. You hear that time and time again at the polls and people voting and caucusing...everything is cordial, and everyone is getting along here.

The circus on DU is sophomoric, outlier behavior. Hillary does not have a progressive/left problem. She's in great shape for the general election.
