81. I disagree. No candidate can win the GE with just the vote of Democrats.
There are a lot of people who are very liberal but don't register as Dems. The only way to win the GE is to have the independent vote and as much crossover as possible.

Dems are very different based on their region as well. Do you think a Berkeley,CA Dem is anything like a PA Dem? One state voting in a closed primary doesn't show the will of all Democrats.

The campaigning that is going on now is really hurting the Democratic party and any nominee's chances in the GE.
