This poll showed that Bernie actually had a better chance at winning the general election than the primary.
So the meme that Bernie can't win the general election is false, which is what some of Hillary's spokespeople, like Sen. McCaskill, are trying to peddle.
The current meme is that Bernie can't win AA or Latino voters over to his cause because he can't equate economic justice with racial justice. This new meme serves Wall Street, who don't want the general public choosing someone who would have no problems putting the banksters in jail.
Whether Hillary or a Republican wins in Nov 2016, Wall Street wins and Main Street loses. It doesn't matter how many AA and Latino voters choose Hillary, their needs will be 2nd fiddle to the whims of her benefactors from Wall Street.
