But then most of us know how those in groups embolden each other.
I am quite convinced, though, given the large numbers of Bernie supporters that other caucuses would have been intimidating for Hillary supporters who may have given in under the pressure--or left. In my area most of the people were right-wing style Bernie supporters, but in others they may have been younger and full of themselves--so insisting that they know better. Clinton supporters would immediately be made to feel like out-of-bounds tourists.
