If Hillary goes even more scorched earth, and she and her husband keep saying things like that they feel sorry for young people for believing Bernie and that Bernie supporters are like the Tea Party, that will go up.

Sanders' supporters in Wisconsin were pretty worthless in the Supreme Court race.

County results say otherwise.

On campaign finance and Wall St., he's definitely to her left. She's a phony on all of those issues and nothing will change with a Clinton presidency.

Well, Trump is an even bigger fraud on those issues. I mean, campaigning on not having a superPAC or big-money donors when you are one of those corrupt big-money donors?

Not really. Trump didn't oppose the Iraq War when it actually mattered, and he's way more hawkish than her on Iran. (I'm assuming you're using a lazy hawk=right-wing/dove=left-wing scheme here.)

And Trump isn't? Are you seriously arguing Trump is more honest than her? He's the biggest phony I've seen in my (admittedly short) time following politics. And the second part doesn't follow from the first.

Obviously both Hillary and Trump are massive liars.

I saw it mentioned somewhere else that 15% of Sanders voters "did not remember who they voted for, or voted for Bradley" according to some exit polling; 4% for Clinton voters. The math, however, suggests that if less than 50% of those Sanders voters voted for Bradley, then the overall result wasn't altered.

Additionally, Bradley won by 91,000 votes; the GOP primary had 98,000 more voters. The result - regardless of the finer points - was effectively spot-on in terms of expectations from turnout.

The fact is that the difference between Clinton and Sanders regarding downballot races was stark again.
Clinton endorsed Kloppenburg, attacked Bradley as a bigot, and urged her supporters to vote for that race.
Sanders completely ignored it and I doubt even if he released a token press statement endorsing the Democratic candidate.

Bernie urged his voters to vote Kloppenburg also, and Kloppenburg underperformed the Democratic voters the most in Milwaukee, which just happened to be the only county Hillary won.

Whatever the limitations of this poll, it is now a given that when Hillary wins the nomination, she must and will pick a progressive as her running-mate if she is to have any hope of reuniting the party -no moderate white males need apply this time.  

Oh yeah, clearly Bernie supporters are all about electing a moderate hero as long as they aren't a white male.
