37. Clearly some Sanders supporters are now in the third stage of grief.

They've been through the denial that Hillary has an insurmountable lead, they have expressed great anger and outrage, lashing out at not only Hillary but also the DNC, DWS, corporations, and anything else they could associate with Sanders's failure to win. Now they are bargaining and rationalizing. There was no theft of data, it was a bug, the guy was a plant, the DNC is complicit, etc

Soon depression then acceptance. And it won't be anything as bad as what they fear.
