20. I think there is an effect occurring that can't be measured yet.

Indignation by the powers that be at the nature of antiestablishment pressure on the right is a big part what propels Trump's base towards him IMO.

We haven't yet seen the results of very many elections in areas that are traditional Democratic strongholds. The resentment I'm seeing online and you've captured in your post seems pretty strong as far as people recognizing the unfair treatment of Sanders. I can see a possible impact from this resentment that will bend the post-March trend lines a lot more strongly in Bernie's favor than seems reasonable by normal analysis of polls. No one saw much upside potential in the polling available at the beginning of Trump's run; largely I think because their denial of voter sentiment caused them to misread the trend lines.

The other day I saw someone (Prebus?) discussing the RNC and Trump who opined they also (paraphrasing) "needed super delegates like the Dems, who had managed to contain their grassroots problem early in the process."

Maybe he's right. Between the news blackout on Bernie and the billion's in free advertising Hillary is getting it is an uphill battle to build a national sense of solidarity behind Sanders. But then again, the 1%er club that didn't foresee that the effect of their pressure on Trump would be 180 degrees from what they wanted is the same club of 'professionals' that think no one is really noticing what they are doing to Sanders.

I think they're wrong.
