Different dynamics. The race was already much closer at this time and Obama had more appeal in states that will likely go Clinton.

Sanders will make it interesting but these "wins" he's piling up aren't really building the kinds of numbers he needs.

Agreed.

Question - will the Bernie supporters be pissed that he lost a rigged game and stay home? Or will they support Hilary?

Fascinating...both parties could be in a place where huge numbers of voters feel that the system was rigged against their candidate. Who knows what effect that will have?

I think it will have an impact but likely would favor Clinton. Aside from Nebe, most of the groundswell Sanders has been able to create will be well motivated to ensure Trump isn't elected. If somehow a moderate Repub could get the nomination (not likely) it could be different.

Trump's base is increasingly getting frustrated with their candidate and Trump's negatives are so low I just don't see how he can really compete in the general election.
