I think Sanders has a better than 50 percent chance of being the Nominee.. once Dem's see these polls, Hillary's whole campaign may not even make to Super Tuesday , and if so she will lose.. We MUST win the General.. i fear this could still be a Mondale style campaign where the establishment pick wins the primary and gets whacked in the General.. Losing to Trump and Fiorina???? and Bush.. Hillarys and the DNC have to be shitting bricks... I don't dislike Mrs. Clinton, in fact i like her alot.. but we MUST win next year.. and if Bernie is our guy to beat he GOP ... then lets have at it!

Honestly, it's a BS argument to begin with, but this just provides hard evidence against it anyhow.

with the republicans staging an all out smear campaign against your rival, it isn't that hard to get some traction. Now when the contest expands nationwide with primaries being held in multiple states on the same day, it's going to be quite another story.
I know how BernHeads feel. I spent a lot of time working for George McGovern. After that I threw away my rose colored glasses.
