Poll: Majority of Democrats Want Sanders to Stay in Until Convention

After Hillary Clinton's significant primary wins last week in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware and Connecticut, the Democratic front-runner is now up 14 points nationally over Bernie Sanders — the widest margin of support since early March. As the campaign moves into the final month of contests this week, Clinton's campaign is slowly shifting focus away from beating Sanders to beating the Republican nominee in the general election in November.

Though the Clinton campaign and many in the party elite may be ready for a Sanders exit, a majority of Democrats and Democratic-leaners would like to see Sanders stay in the race through the Democratic convention in July. These results are according to the latest from the NBC News Weekly Election Tracking Poll conducted online from April 25 through May 1 of 14,640 adults including 12,462 registered voters.

It's so hard to contemplate.

in addition, given all of the election fraud being reported and the number of times DWS has put her thumb on the scales in Clinton's favor, it's going to be almost impossible for me to ever see Clinton as any more legitimate than Bush was.
