This is the essence of the delusion right here; Sanders supporters just cannot possible imagine why every person isn't lining up to vote just like they do. This mindset lacks the capacity to understand that people can legitimately hold an opposing point of view, so they turn to various tropes like "the media's in it for Hillary", "I just don't believe poll XYZ", and so on.

There's going to be a harsh reality check for Sanders supporters once the primary results start to not go their way.
