According to the latest NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking poll, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is now only slightly ahead of businessman Donald Trump in a general election match-up among registered voters, 47 percent to 45 percent.

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, however, continues to perform much better against the presumptive Republican nominee than Clinton and is currently beating him by a full 12 points, 52 percent to 40 percent. Why does Sanders do better than Clinton against Trump? This is an important question that will have implications for Clinton's campaign if she becomes the presumptive nominee and looks to win over voters in the coming months.

Anyone with half a brain can figure out how Bernie would look in the general. And besides, what's the point at this point. You've made your arguments. The voters didn't buy it. Game Over.
