National polls using only likely Dem voters don't determine GE results. Independent voters do.

Bernie is winning independent voters in a landslide over Hillary in head-to-head GE matchups against the Republican candidates. His point spread over the GOP front runners is better than Hillary's, too.

Ignore the daily Hillary-name -recognition-national polls of likely Democratic voters which do not recognize inspired first-time voters or the millenial voter or the energized Gen-X voter or the exclusively mobile phone demographic. They did the same thing in 2007-2008.

Did not work then, will not work now.

We will not be deterred.

WE FEEL THE BERN.

GO TEAM BERNIE!

If independents had a party it'd be the biggest party in the nation.

They also have some strange idea that those not claiming to be affiliated are somehow in that circumstance because they have middling/centrist attitudes on many issues.
