That's quite telling, imho, since Sanders was only 1 point off Clinton, which is statistically within the margin of error for the poll.

In a general election, republicans need to try extra hard to appear sane and mainstream because their policies are not.

I still think they bring back Mitt.

He's also entertaining. There's no way he'll ever be the nominee.
Except for Jeb Bush, the others are like background noise. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds.
