I agree, Sanders Insurgent campaign was not taken seriously until late if ever. Most voters kind of knew it was going to be Hillary's year. I'd garner that having Bernie hangin is the only thing turning out the vote there is.

One important thing is to stay cool, watching politics is like watching the stock market. I can get real reactive and sometimes it's necessary, but things have a way of changing. So when Trump talks about his big turnout, blah blah blah, don't get suckered in.
