Wait and see.

On another note, I am reminded of an exchange with, I think Iaman, arguing that a Bernie primary victory was in our self-interest. I pointed out: she has historically high-negatives and generated no enthusiasm; he had net positives, did well among rural voters (where Trump doubled her tonight), did well with white males, inspired the base, and generally trended double digits over Trump.

Her turnout tonight among Hispanics, blacks, college educated whites, and younger voters -- the Obama coalition - was lower than Obama in 2008 and 2012. The hype was all bluster - no one was enthusiastic about her.

The disconnect was bothering me the whole time, despite what the pollster declared-- now I wish dearly my suspicions were unfounded..
