So his numbers are flying outside the Dems base, but predictably he is struggling big time with the base. Also why he has no shot of getting the super delegates to back him since he's, well, a DINO in this case. He's only using the name Democrat because, ironically, he needs to use the establishment's in place infrastructure to have any chance of ever winning a general election.

Mostly registered democrats over the age of 40. Speaking with a staunch democrat at work the other day, a huge Hillary supporter, and she pulled out the "but he's a
socialist" rhetoric. Especially democrats of senior citizen age, that's a terrifying thing for them to hear, even if his desire to expand social security would likely help them more than anything Hillary is going to do, let alone a GOP who wants to privatize and/or gut SS entirely.
I'm not sure what brought it on today, but my facebook feed was absolutely full of any number of anti-Trump posts today. He may be solidifying his own following, but he's also solidifying the resolve of those who are against him.
