10. A full 15% of Sanders Wisconsin support was pure ratf***ers

There's a reason we were fine with such people not voting: because they're terrible human beings. And the fact that they didn't vote for a Democratic judge only proves that they're trying to boost Sanders and no one else, because they think Sanders will lose to the GOP much easier than Clinton.

This morning, some progressives picked a culprit: voters who cast ballots for Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vt.) and left the rest of their ballots blank. According to exit polling conducted by the independent group DecisionDesk and BenchMark Politics, perhaps 15 percent of Sanders voters skipped the Bradley-Kloppenburg race; just 4 percent of Hillary Clinton voters did the same.


But the article tries to give Sanders credit for mentioning Kloppenburg in one speech made the day before the election. Did he think that would make some giant impact? He really IS loving the smell of his own farts, isn't he?
