6. So true! Noably, ONLY 15% TOTAL Dems told Bloomberg

Jun 2016

pollsters that they had "unfavorable" feelings toward Hillary. That includes all those who feel merely various degrees of dislike or discomfort toward her as a result of 25 years of character assassination and disapproval of anything she's done to provide ammunition.

Subtract all those and you get the rather irrational die-hards toward her and/or the party and "bubble people." And only some of those ever really cared about Bernie's proposed policy changes, except as they saw them affecting themselves.

For many in this tiny and increasingly isolated group, Sanders' movement has been mostly just a vehicle for the expression of inchoate discontent and resentment, and enabler of a focused hostility they now can't let go of.
