"The Hidden Importance Of The Sanders Voter"

[Attorney in Texas]

3. The fight between Obama supporters and Hillary supporters in 2008 was uglier in tone but the dislike

of Hillary by Sanders supporters now seems much more substantive. I am not optimistic about this rift being papered over without a substantive course correction (something dramatically progressive arising at the convention, a Warren-type VP pick, or something along these lines to spark a re-evaluation of Hillary).

I think Hillary is assuming that the awfulness of Trump will fix everything, but she's miscalculating this (just like Cruz and Kasich and the #neverTrump movement failed to realize that a candidate dropping out did not mean that that candidate's supporters would flock to the not-Trump candidate). If she wins the nomination without addressing this, I think we are looking at Democrats turning out at mid-term levels while Republicans turn out at presidential election cycle levels - this is fatal to our entire ticket from the top of the ballot to the bottom.
