40% of his WV voters also really like Trump.
Makes sense. Trump borrows bernies anti Hillary slogans, and their share the same voter demographic & their goal is not about presenting a sound working public policy but to defeat Hillary, so why wouldnt he?

Their biggest problem in both July & Nov is their 1 demographic.
Hillary has all the rest in a solid majority.

Thats why they will both lose to Hillary Clinton.
Hillary's base.
See how that works?

They have a bad economy and are very conservative. What we can take from the primary last night is that the Democratic candidate won't win the general election there.

My impression is that "also" might not be necessary in that sentence. I think they were Trump voters all along who decided to mess with the primary. I don't think they ever had any plans to vote for Sanders in November.

I could certainly be wrong, it's mostly just a hunch, but this is the same state where 42% voted in the Dem primary for a guy in jail over Obama in 2012, so I think it's a lot of the same people.

Edit: typo

Convention. She will be getting "bonus" minutes in super delegates, she will get a large number of those remaining who have not endorsed.
