6. I think what's happening

with some of the Hillary supporters - why some comments are so irrationally angry - is that Hillary was assumed to have had the nomination in the bag a year ago, and now it's not. She still has the advantage but Bernie's popularity has to have been a big surprise, and the nomination is not assured. Her supporters are angry because it's a lot more painful to see something possibly being taken away from you that you thought was definitely yours, than it is to lose something that you always knew you could lose.
