My impression is that Bernie voters are somewhat disappointed in Obama. He didn't usher in the progressive utopia they expected. He didn't even lower the sea levels like he said he would.
And you didn't mention the rage that Bernie voters have against Hillary. And for good reason. They despise Wall Street most of all, and Hillary is their servant. And the Clinton machine obviously rigged the primaries with that built-in advantage of super delegates and now-proven conspiring to sabotage Bernie.

Not according to the polls I've seen on Obama's approval numbers. But a small percentage of them have rage at Hillary. Although 85% have said they are going to vote for Hillary. The diehards may vote for Jill Stein

In the last 24 hours Trump has claimed the general election will be rigged against him, and he kicked a crying baby out of his press conference. The latter doesn't amount to much, but the former signals what many have suspected all along. If his election chances continue to fade, he may quit the race.

He's already had his victory. With the GOP primary, it's like Trump won a pageant, which he knows a little something about. But now that he won the pageant he's got to take on the responsibilities of the crown. Things like learning what the job entails, how the federal government works and what it's general framework is. And Trump's gotta keep all that straight when he attempts to debate one of the biggest gubmint wonks who ever lived.
I just don't think he will.

He's a perfect reflection and indeed the inevitable result of the shit that has been spouted in here for the past 10+ years. Quit trying to distance yourself from him, he's exactly what you deserve...

He's already setting up his alibi that the system is rigged against him.

What he needs to do is to keep pushing the information about the hacked emails.
Pin that bitch down and say, it doesn't matter WHO hacked them. What about the content? That is what his agenda should be when speaking out in public about her and the Dems. Non stop until she is sick of hearing it. Don't let her politic her way out it, Keep hammering the content and intent of the emails.

Assange is saying more Hillary emails will be released soon. We'll see.
But even if those emails reveal that she was selling nukes to ISIS, she'll still win.

I would not be shocked if Trump pulls out of this race before the election. I think he's very surprised that he made it this far, but now that there is a slim possibility that he could be president and would have to live the next 4 years under a microscope, it's almost like he's trying to sabotage his own campaign. And doing a good job of it, too. He doesn't want to be president, this whole thing was a lark from the beginning, a way for him to get some free publicity (how many times has he already run before? Or at least acted like he was going to?), but I don't think he ever had any illusion that he could or desire to actually be president...

So it's been leaked that there's going to be an intervention - Priebus, Giliuani, and Gingrich are joining with some Trump children to have a sit-down with the Donald. I suppose for Priebus the last straws were the comments about holding support for Ryan and McCain. The fight with the Gold Star parents, the Purple Heart, the baby, the mess of an interview he gave the WaPo...it's all piling up on a shit-pile that was already as big as his tower. Half the country thinks Trump is nuts anyway...and now comes an intervention.
But yeah, Hillary's emails. Mercy sakes.

Only 34% of people believe in the truthfulness of Hillary Clinton. Trump can hammer all he wants though because only 35% of the people believe in the truthfulness of Donald Trump. Saying she's not truthful will not help Trump. He'll have to get on her judgment as opposed to her truthfulness and he keeps undermining that everyday.

If only 35% of the people think Hillary and Trump are truthful, that means most people think they're lying when they say bad stuff about each other...
