Why it is significant that Bernie keeps on outpolling Hillary against Trump

[AZ Progressive]

Is that it consistently proves that the idea of Hillary being the more electable one is bullshit (and one of the reasons why so many voted for Hillary in the first place.) Americans are tired of the status quo and want change. Hillary, the queen of the status quo, is not what the majority of the electorate wants.

1. Status quo does not entirely explain Hill's poor showing against Trump.

Active dislike and disapproval of Hillary also plays a role.

[merrily]

2. Significant or not, it's the only metric we will have about the general before the convention.

It's the only even half way objective way to think about which Democrat who is running now will have the better chance of beating Trump.

The many Republicans who ran against Trump attacked him, as did various groups-Hispanics, women, etc. Sensible media have been exposing him. BOTH Hillary and Bernie have been attacking him as they stump. So it's not that Trump has been gliding toward the general unimpeded. On the other hand, Bernie has not gone to Hillary's jugular as Trump will. To the contrary, Bernie has given her two huge assists (which, candidly, I wish he had not been nice enough to give her).
