On the flip side, if you think Clinton cant win against Donald Trump, you are a fucking moron. Seriously, you are as dumb as rocks. But! you yell, Her unfavorables are 54 percent! Yes, they are! But a big chunk of that is Sanders supporters. Check out the chart below: see that inflection point when Clintons unfavorables overtook her favorables? That was April 2015. You know what month Bernie Sanders entered the campaign? April 2015. Most will come home after Sanders bows out.
Except that the surveys are of voters of both parties, not just Democrats. By assuming that Bernie dropping out will drive all those unfavorable voters to become Hillary favorable is, to say the least, "dumber thant a box of rocks."
