And because of that she won't gain any new support, and she has a high enough unfavorability that at least half of her support is the very weakest - because people didn't know where else to turn. Cruz? Paul? Trump? ....
Nevertheless, I think Hillary is so far and hard to the right on matters of economics and war that the R's could quite easily finance a candidate who'll run slightly to her left, rebuking her, so she loses a large chunk of even *that* support (you don't think the Koch Bros. would do this? The Koch Bros. who claim to be "socially liberal"?)
In contrast, Bernie Sanders started as a relative unknown. The MSM doesn't cover politicians with ideas like his - regardless of his solid support among the voters who DO know him. So now the US is finding out. His support will steadily strengthen, along an accelerating curve at least for a few months, while Hillary's support will be leached away.
At the same time that Bernie's supporters are being increasingly energized by these numbers, Hillary's supporters will be increasingly dejected. There'll be a time in the near future where the support will equal out, then Bernie will surpass Hillary. At least that's the way I predict, that's my instinct on what I'm seeing and hearing 
- unless something unforeseen occurs. I agree with those Bernie supporters who caution not to rub it in - to not react to provocations, and to not provoke. Because it's a distraction on the way to victory. Hillary's hard core supporters at DU won't change their minds, not for any reason, any argument. They've all been around for a long time and their minds are set. I say let them lose in peace.
