Sanders has integrity, you see it every time Weaver gets him to go out of line ("unqualified" comes to mind which he walked back the next day). Once Weaver and Devine are out of the picture it'll go back to beating the Republicans. Remember, Clinton and Obama really slogged it out hard too. The Harry and Louise ads, Jeremiah Wright controversy, etc.

No one has ever been elected with Hillary's numbers, no matter how many delegates they won by. She is ten points higher than the last one that lost with high negatives.
