Hope you're right, and that it's not just unstoppable until the end of the Primaries.

Very good numbers for Bernie.

Bizarre tweet that someone posted last page saying "good luck getting Dems to turn out for Bernie"... getting Dems to turn out is not/was never going to be the challenge. The primaries were never likely to be the problem for him. Seems to be a weird narrative that only exists in the head of the most paranoid Sanders' supporters that everyone is desperate for him to fail... Simply isn't the case.

Democrats are terrified (and rightly so) of another 4 years of Trump... 4 years in which he'll be even LESS bound by convention, norms, ethics and the law than he has been since 2016. They have concerns over Bernie's ability to appeal to the wider coalition that will need to be built in order to win a General. Are those concerns well founded? Only time will tell, but they're by no means entirely unreasonable. Is there probably a little ill feeling from some, stoked by a section of his support who seem to delight in lashing out at every Democratic candidate/institution/individual that happens to even hint at questioning whether Bernie is anything less than the second coming, or has the temerity to think that perhaps THEY might be a better bet? I'd imagine there's a bit of that too.

He's odds on to be the nominee, so fingers crossed those concerns WILL be unfounded... and who knows, once he IS the nominee, maybe his supporters will spend a little less time attacking those with whose idealogy their own candidate has far more in common than what separates them.*

(* - Apart from Bloomberg. If you can find the pulped remains of him that Warren left behind, feel free to attack them)

They are terrified of Bernie because they are wolfs in sheep’s clothing and are no less worse than Trump at the end of it.
