And I think this chart doesn't show that. Since he doesn't have to rely on just one voting block which is why I think Bernie will probably win it in the GE-If he can get past the primaries.

(185 posts)5. This is why I'm worried about the presidental elections goiing the repugs way.
The democrats think that everyone will rally around the winner after the primaries are over. But I don't think that's gonna happen, especially seeing how things are so far. Making it possible.

I guarantee, not all of them will be enthusiastic for their nominee. If it is Trump, his supporters will be ecstatic and everyone else will be at the very least unhappy. If it is not Trump, his supporters might do any crazy thing.
After the Dem nominee unites the party at the convention, this chart will look a lot different.
