Bernie won the majority of somewhat liberal and very liberal voters

In Indiana, Sanders took ALL liberal categories handily, 60% of very liberal and 53% of somewhat liberal according to CNN exit polls. Hillary won only among moderates.

So much for Debbie "I don't give a fuck about Independents" Wasserman Schultz.

He got a net of 57,000 votes over Hillary from independents, and won the state by about 32,000 votes.

I know it's hard to believe in the beltway, where St. Ronnie still gets genuflects and the Golden Bull is polished...but hey, why would we want those Kooks, right? It's not like the GOP is any threat at this point...

Of somewhat liberal voters support Clinton.

The next section as a break down of liberal 64%, moderate 29% and conservative 3%. That's how voters identified themselves.
the break down was.
Sanders 56% - 46% - na
Clinton 44% - 54% - na


Clinton's numbers amongst liberal voters is very respectable.
