like a challenge to their dominance. The racists, sexists and xenophobes are out in force this election cycle and are not going to allow women or minorities to "take over". Unfortunately, for all the desperate and fabricated excuses, it is that simple. That is why Trump and Sanders supporters have so much in common in terms of behavior. That is why their talking points are the same. Even the preponderance of white/male demographics are the same. They have no insight into their underlying motives and if they do, blame the victims. In either account, they have no shame. We made so much progress with Obama and the vast number of Democrats intuitively know we have to keep going. Hillary gets it. She represents that (always has) and they are doing everything they can to stop her.
