Because it's so clear cut; rather they will probably try to find another issue like Black Lives Matters where they can attack. They are on much firmer ground there.

It's a matter of different priorities. I don't even know if their priorities are necessarily wrong; rather I can see with so many black people being shot and the attack on planned parenthood, Clinton supporters might well reason that they can't afford to take a risk with Sanders.
