He won or tied in 6 of the last 12. Which means he only lost 6, not 9. ieoeja May 2016 #16

and that the important thing is the triumph over Clinton/Trump, as this represents a triumph of Principle over Corruption, People over Corporations and Lobbyists, and the start of a pullback of the Corporate tentacles that are wrapped so tightly around every aspect of our government.

From what I've seen you're probably in the minority as far as Sanders supporters go.

At least on DU Sanders supporters seem to be in two camps when it comes to President Obama:

Profound disappointment or utter contempt for him.
