who already have good ideas about who they'll be supporting after Sanders is out.

Same as 2016.

Let's not insult the majority of Sanders supporters by mistaking them for the trumpsters, true believers, and general wingnuts who will once again refuse to vote Democrat. He has fewer mainstream supporters this time, so that 2016's 24% now seem to be about 30%, but they haven't grown in numbers. They're the same anti-Democratic sorts who use every election to try to cause trouble, and Sanders is once again their delivery system of choice.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
