Millions and millions leaving the democratic party.

[fun n serious]

Really? Tell me how Hillary is winning the popular vote if that is true? Where are these millions of voters?

[riversedge]

1. It is a threat, so not happened yet.

[fun n serious]

3. I see.

Oh. A psychic prediction not based on math?

[Buzz Clik]

2. It started out as tens of thousands.

Has it been elevated?

More desperation, regardless of the number.

[Thinkingabout]

4. Maybe Trump is influencing the numbers. True Democrats are still here.

Wishful thinking.

[fun n serious]

5. Forever and ever. nt

[Bleacher Creature]

6. Nominate my candidate or your party gets it!!!

And by extension, the entire country!!

These threats are getting tiresome.

[fun n serious]

12. Very immature, isn't it?

Like a toddler who had their candy taken.

[spooky3]

15. Nice little Dem party ya got there...sure would be a shame if something were to happen to it...

[sufrommich]

19. Their threats always remind me of this classic:

[otohara]

7. Those Who Are = Endorsing Donald Trump

who is truly the face of evil

8. Part of it is voter suppression.

Another factor may be that many democrats may be voting in the Republican primaries (in the states that allow a person to matriculate from one party to another on election day) to vote for anyone but Trump. He's offended so many that they may just figure they can vote for the democratic nominee in the general election.

Just a guess really but I've not heard anyone speculating that might be the case in many instances.

9. Repubs are putting up Trump, Cruz, Rubiobot, Kasich.

And millions are leaving the Democratic party? Because they aren't progressive enough? Puhleeze! Are they just staying home then? So much for their political commitment, or they could vote Green or some other party on the ballot. And have their vote not count one iota. I think they wanted to commandeer the Democratic party the same way the conservative movement and the tea party took control of the Repubs. Unfortunately for them, we're not all that unhappy, racist, sexist or authoritarian. It didn't work.

10. My question too ...

Hillary has >1.5 million more votes than Bernie. So far. That total will continue to increase.

Does that not mean anything in a democracy?

Some do not seem to realize how close they are to fascism.

[Thinkingabout]

11. Yes, the people have spoken

[ismnotwasm]

13. My guess? It's the "army of millions"

That's hanging around somewhere.

[DemonGoddess]

14. what millions?

there are millions? really?

more rwnj bullshit

[OhZone]

16. Some sure -

Some Independents, uncommitted students, and a few new Democrats, who might have voted Democrat, but were mislead by their bubble, and are heart-broken.

Some Independents who were planning on voting Green or another third party anyway.

And a lot of GOP operatives muddling up the Democratic primary.

But most Democrats and most Independents will come aboard rather than have a Republican.

IMHO

[Alfresco]

17. They have reached the Bargaining stage of the grief cycle. Depression is next then acceptance. But..

I could be wrong.

[NurseJackie]

18. "Threats" ... that's kinda a mix between ...

... anger and bargaining. So I guess it's an indication that they're progressing through the steps.

20. It's not going to happen, and it's really frustrating

It's a narrative BS supporters are pushing, as a threat, and a narrative the media is happy to play up for "horse race", but there is no evidence of this.

Time after time in exit polls, the Republicans are splintered, and the Democrats by a majority say they'd be satisfied with either candidate. There is general happiness among the democratic electorate. You can see it with the tone of the debate last night. They agree on a lot, and you almost expect them to high five at points.

Also, the other narrative is this "Reagan Democrats" will be drawn to Trump because of his anti-immigration stance. Yes, because people that cheer at "Mexicans are racists" are really the type that voted for Obama in the last election. MSNBC talked about the militias in Michigan, and how they would vote for Trump in a general election. Yes, because they were otherwise going to vote democratic. You remember the militia wing of the democratic party?

Mitt Romney won the white vote 60-39. That was larger than Reagan in 1980. Demographics is what changed. The map gets bluer every year on a national level. We're in great shape. Panic aside.
