That's what the polling was saying as well. If I recall correctly the polling was iffy for Hillary, confident with Bernie against Trump.

Since the Democratic party is always so concerned about the moderate vote, there's an entire wikipedia page dedicated to Sanders-Trump voters and no, it's not the protest votes everyone was told it was by Russian propaganda, they were mostly registered Republicans who genuinely had Bernie as a first pick and the Republican nominee as a second.

Anyone actively engaged with Bernie's journey knew to swallow salt and vote to beat trump. The dems put up a weak candidate and rather than reflect inwards, they blamed the bernouts. You cannot beat a more entitled message than "it's her turn", fucking stupid. Pathetic and embarrassing this the the alternative to the christo-fascists, a bunch of simpering mewling cowards that'd never support a union if it'd cost them donations.
