Hillary's lead widens to 15% in National Polls!

Not that this really matters since Hillary has already won but...

Ipsos/Reuter Last week Clinton 53% Sanders 43%
" " This week Clinton 56% Sanders 41%

A 5% increase in one week is telling. I think the country is starting to get sick of Bernie getting in the way of the real race.

She will soothe, for sure. It won't be long before those bernsters move along to the next thing. President Hillary Clinton will be busy taking care of the things that she has proposed, and successfully, too.

that this is serious shit and it's time to move on from the primaries. That's my opinion and I'm seeing my Bernie supporting friends on Facebook and Twitter coming to the same conclusion.

he can "win" a few more states but he has lost the country. The more he falls behind the more irrelevant he will become. He should do his deal now!

Bernie has been long toast. He and his most rabbid supporters just do not want to admit. This shift means that some people are actually coming to terms with that and shifting over to Hillary.

If I recall correctly the Reuters poll last week was a nationwide poll vs this poll which is looking at only Democratic voters.
