re: #282 KGxvi

The combination of Hillary Clinton* and a historically small field of candidates are probably the only reasons Sanders had any support.

*Say what you will but she lost the nomination in 2008 in mostly the same circumstances, mostly unknown/unproven candidates (and the swarmy John Edwards).

The thing people miss about Sanders is that he had fewer supporters, but they had white-hot intensity. That’s why he won caucuses and lost primaries. It’s why he’d have lost the General.
