if Bernie, then his supporters will come out in droves to vote for him
others democrats will show up to vote against tRump
but if hillary is the presidential nominee, few will make the effort to come out and support/vote for her
democrats will still show up to vote against tRump
That's actually a myth. There is an enthusiasm gap on the Dem side but it swings the opposite way.
There's a reason Hillary leads Bernie by 2.5+ million votes.
Bernie was an unknown when this contest beganHe Gets the Crowds, I Get the Votes
there's a reason Bernie is filling stadiums and hillary can barely attract any audience
Given that you seem to agree with her that she wins the votes, I'm not sure what you're suggesting it is.
Anyway, this is the "Romney's going to win PA [and other states he was never going to win]!" argument from 2012. Turned out his crowd sizes didn't matter even a little.

She has lots of money to spend on propaganda.
Once they get it they always seem to want someone to tell them what to do with it and wind up losing the thing after all. :shrug:Democrats Could Win Back The House Thanks to Trump Being as "Popular as Head Lice"
Democrats Could Win Back the House Thanks to Trump Being as “Popular as Head Lice”
“Conventional wisdom and math have long created the narrative that it would take Democrats many election cycles too overcome the Republican 30 seat majority in the House.

It’s unlikely that Democrats are prepared to seize on this opportunity, but the mere fact that analysts have put the House in play due to the rhetoric of the Republican front-runner shows just how dangerous Trump is to the survival of the Republican Party………………..

Trump puts GOP House majority in jeopardy - POLITICO
Before the Presidential campaign began common wisdom said the Democrats might have a chance to take over the Senate but the House was out of the question……..
But now with the tone and nature of the GOP campaign and the quality of those still in the race………..the most unpopular person to ever run for the office and the most hated man in D.C. whose only claim to fame is shutting down the government …………..
Things have taken a dramatic turn favoring the Democrats taking it all…………
Romney's crowd sizes were often mocked. I'm not sure why you're bringing up Romney's crowd size to try and support your argument.Given that you seem to agree with her that she wins the votes, I'm not sure what you're suggesting it is.

Sorry. I can't make it any clearer.Sorry........Could you flesh this about a bit .........I am unsure of your meaning

If Trump is so damn unpopular, then how can he have the most delegates? Unpopular people do not command the most votes for their party, like he does.
trump is the leading republican candidate, get behind him, he puts states like new york, new jersey, california, and others in play for the republican party for the first time in decades.
Because there have been so many Republican contenders.
When you look at votes cast 37.11% have supported Trump, 62.89% have voted against him. If the field hadn't been so big for so long, trump wouldn't be in the lead in terms of delegates. The problem was the fracturing of the party.
Trump 7,863,052 (37.11%)
Cruz 5,782,142 (27.29%)
Kasich 2,822,210 (13.32%)
Rubio 3,470,384 (16.38%)
Carson 692,764 (3.27%)
Bush 254,521 (1.20%)
Paul 56,451 (0.27%)
Christie 52,679 (0.25%)
Huckabee 47,263 (0.22%)
Fiorina 35,297 (0.17%)
Santorum 15,774 (0.07%)
Gilmore 2,671 (0.01%)
Others 94,652 (0.45%)
Total 21,189,860 (100%)

Lol....
Oh sure. What are they going to run on ? Obama Care ? The economy? Foreign policy ?
We were hearing the exact same kind of nonsense back in 2014.
They were going to turn Texas blue too
What will they run on?
How about running an adult presidential campaign on issues and not a clown show.............
And Texas will be blue.........but it will take 5-6 years and a role back of voter suppression laws...........
And BTW
In 2014 those GOP clowns said they would get Congress moving and do things...............that Congress GOP controlled is the least productive in history and only claim to fame is renaming Post Offices..........
You need to pay attention..............and/or change your source of news
