A Hillary win at the Democratic convention

Is a serious loss in the GE. While a Democrat candidate has lost the GE with a positive trustworthiness and likeability number, no Democrat has ever won the GE with these numbers being negative.
In Nevada, 84% of people that said that "honest and trustworthy" was important, voted for Sanders
In Nevada, 75% in Independents voted for Sanders.
You may win a primary with that but you cannot win the country with those numbers.
