Time's allegation of Wallace's unpopularity with the rank and file is not borne out by the facts.
Sure. Wallace managed to get exactly ZERO electoral votes in the '48 election. The argument over his popularity with rank and file Democrats was settled then.
What might have been with a President Wallace is not 'an Oliver Stone inspired theory' even though Stone may be right and is most certainly not wrong because he is Oliver Stone. I do wish you Clinton people could see fit to steer away from ad homimen fallacies.
Certainly no ad homimen fallacy. Your conjecture is shared by Oliver Stone. I see no reason to believe you thought of it first or independent of him.
Sanders is not a 'real Democrat.' And he has stated as such.

Some of this Sander support is starting to look like FUD and acting like it too

To be fair, she'd just seen a small bump moving her up against challengers.

Apparently a "survey" with a "credibility interval" of + or - 4.5....not even an on-line poll!

Just last week all the rage was a "survey" claiming Sanders leads in all 50 states!

Another better headline: "Wild Swings in Clinton Popularity Are Within 9% 'Credibility Interval'*"

So, are you saying that Hillary legitimately won the nomination and it was taken from her?
