If I Were Hillary...

16. The polls are bouncing around quite a bit

You are definitely quoting the polls that show the lowest support for Sanders.

Plenty of national polls that show them each hovering in the high 40's.

And if Clinton continues to rack up delegates and pull away from Sanders--clearly her numbers will rise. That doesn't mean that Bernie's supporters are gone forever. We're still here. It just means that she is seen as the likely nominee.

And true, if she becomes the likely nominee, more Dems will be solidly in her corner. More middle of the roaders will move to her corner.

However, around half of his supporters who are Democrats will not support her.

You'll never get that portion of his supporters who want real change, less corporatism, no neocon tendencies in their candidate and someone who is trustworthy.

I conceded that it may not be 25 percent of the party, but it is a good chunk. Ten percent of the party faithful sitting out would be devastating (and nothing to crow about). I think it's much higher than 10 percent, but we shall see.

It's obvious that your ilk wants to think that this number is extremely low. You are in the process of burning bridges all over the place. That's fine. And clearly noted.
