Digging into the numbers, more interesting facts!

Who'd a thunk?

Donovan Slack, USA TODAY

Bernie Sanders grabbed headlines when a recent poll showed him with a 10-point lead over Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, but nationally, the former secretary of State is still way, way, way ahead of the Vermont senator.

Clinton has 59% support among Democrats, compared with Sanders’ 26 %, according to a Monmouth University Poll released Wednesday. Former Maryland governor Martin O'Malley is well back at 4%.

What’s more, a majority of Sanders supporters — 59 % — said they would be OK if Clinton bested their candidate and won the Democratic nomination.

Clinton’s numbers have changed little since October, when Monmouth found her ahead of Sanders 57% to 24%.

2. This bares repeating!!

What’s more, a majority of Sanders supporters — 59 % — said they would be OK if Clinton bested their candidate and won the Democratic nomination.

YEAH!

4. that figure is probably closer to 99%

They may be hyper-Bernie right now, but I have a feeling that if Donald Trump were the GOP candidate, they would come around and vote for the Dem.

Actually, same goes if Cruz or Carson or Rubio is the GOP candidate. Or Bush. Or Christie. etc. etc.

8. I agree, a few thousand internet jerks do not make a viable voting block and...

once Sanders bows out and endorses Hillary, they will either disappear or go over to the other side where they really belong.
The loudest and most hateful aren't many, just loud and annoying (who does that remind you of?)

3. Just as Clinton supporters would vote for Sanders in the GE.

5. Apparently...

this was never a newsworthy issue.

We have always agreed if Senator Sanders (I-VT) was the Democratic nominee, we would support him.

We just believe Hillary would be the best Democratic nominee!

And best next President!

6. Bernie Sanders Fans on my Facebook Feed are freaking out about this

9. Sanders supporter here. OF course I'd vote for her. Enthusiastically even! n/t

14. It's nice that you supported her by posting in the HRC Group. It's a sorry state when

something so ordinary and civil takes me aback. I see a thread with 200+ recs that says we Hillary supporters wanted a conservative govt in Canada. How can there be so much support from the bs folks for an ugly rumor like that?

In fact, the day after that election I found myself explaining to some BS supporters that even though the party that won wasn't really what we'd call the most liberal party, it was a step in the right direction. It's so ugly and everyone is so angry.

Sorry to go so off topic.
