5. Sanders may well do better than Clinton regards to Trump or the GOP.

All the polls seem to indicate Sanders does better than Clinton.

Right now there are several OPs that have most recent favorability ratings of the various candidates and only Trump is worse than Clinton in negative public image:

-41 Trump
-24 Clinton
-23 Cruz
+9 Sanders (one could argue this has been dampened by negative campaigning within the Democratic Party)
+12 Kasich

Where I live in rural California, folks are for Trump or Sanders, and I know of no one nor locally have I seen a single campaign sign nor bumper sticker for Hillary Clinton.

Several days ago I spoke to a friend of 40 plus years and former roommate in youth. He is the Director of Public Health in an adjacent rural county and what I would call a legacy Democrat.

He moved to CA from MN in 1981 and grew up in Hibbing where his grandfather founded what was a major regional bank. His family in MN was very politically active and his grandparents and parents were long time personal friends and supporters of the Humphrey and Mondale families. He was the black sheep and studied environmental science and came to CA while his brothers earned law degrees and one went into banking in Duluth. Now all are in 60s and nearing retirement. I was more liberal but always listened to him.

When we spoke, he said he was troubled by Clinton but rather than Sanders, he supported Kasich. He bleeds Democrat. This blew me away but fortunately politics was only a brief mention in our conversation.
