Again and again and again, voters are choosing to vote for Hillary because they want to vote for Hillary. This is not that hard to understand.

1. Brand recognition

Let's face it.

What Moonves showed us is that publicity gets attention.

Clinton has the branding, and that's all people want to look at.

5. Do you have idea how patronizing

this is?

[NurseJackie]

9. Clearly. It's intentional, no doubt.

[BlueMTexpat]

14. I've seen it posted so often

that this one was just the last straw for me.

[gabeana]

10. I don't get it sometimes me and my circle of friends

are all Bernie supporters but if Hillary gets the nom we have no problem whatsoever of voting for her in the general if it comes to that.
The most important thing is we do not get a republican in the whitehouse

[BlueMTexpat]

13. And vice versa for

all the Hillary supporters I know.

There is no need to tear down either candidate. Both are great. The alternative is literally unthinkable.

[Codeine]

7. Damn. I didn't know I was so stupid.

My tiny little mind is blown.

2. DU rec...nt

3. Well, that sort of shatters the myth that

Hillary should not become the nominee because millions of people will never come out to support her because she is so hated.
According to these numbers, significantly more people would be dissatisfied with Sanders as the nominee. So can we lay this false scare tactic to rest already?

The Republican numbers are far more interesting. Because it is a three (not two) person race, there are more people dissatisfied with the prospect of a Trump candidacy (and more of them), even though he is the current frontrunner. The anti-Trump faction is split between two candidates. We have only one anti-Clinton candidate. This is why the Republican contest is so fascinating.

4. No, it's because we are "low-information"

or "ignorant" voters. We have "drunk the Koolaid" and can't possibly make informed decisions for ourselves, no matter what our own accomplishments and life experiences, all because we have not FTB.

[Stallion]

17. Plus We are "registered Democrats"=The Establishment

its only the Greens, Naderites and Independents that know what's best for the Democratic Party

[redstateblues]

6. I'm growing weary of BSS demanding to know

People's reasons for supporting HRC and then berating and belittling them when they give reasons. I took that bait a few times. I can't imagine that tactic results in many converts.

[Logical]

8. As long as we admit we are choosing the least progressive, i am fine. Nt

[BlueMTexpat]

15. Why should we have to?

Like beauty, progressive can be in the eye of the beholder.

A statement like yours is like having a missionary who comes to my doorstep and tells me I am going to hell because I don't believe in the god s/he does or that my choice is somehow lesser.

That is hardly progressive.

[jcgoldie]

11. More voodoo math

Damn that Silver... he's a witch!

[Gamecock Lefty]

12. I'm Choosing Hillary . . .

because I like her better than Grandpa Bernie. End of story.

I know BS supporters cannot understand someone not liking their candidate as much as Clinton, but deal with it.

And I don't care if someone calls me a neolib, neocon, oligarchy or whatever. Bring on the name calling - yawn.

Also turns out we Hill supporters are more loyal to our candidate than the bots are to theirs. BS supporters go to rallies; we go to the polls!

[BlueMTexpat]

16. It appears that some may

even be eating their own, e.g., the swarming of Elizabeth Warren for not endorsing Bernie prior to the MA primaries.

That is not the usual behavior of real Democrats.
