Obama supporters outnumber Hillary supporters probably 10-1. Put that together with the phenom type momentum their side has, and you have a recipe for that type of behavior. When in the majority to that degree and with that much momentum on their side, it creates an atmosphere that it totally conducive to that sort of bullying etc. If the Hillary supporters had the Obama supporters outnumbered to that degree and she had momentum on her side, I'd wager we'd see similar vitriol and frequency.
It has become a sporting event between two falsely perceived rival teams, but we're in one team's bar where ten fans are sittin but one brave fan of the other team walks in and starts trying to declare that THEIR team is the best. In any given bar, on any given day, between any given two rival sports teams, how do you think that exchange would turn out? Really, at its core, that's all we're seeing here.
