Will they remain pissed off in November when time comes to vote? I doubt it. By then, Hillary's attack ad machine would be in full force. Donald flaking on his tax returns and the media investigating his Russian ties would kill off their motivation. IMO, the demographics for the 2012 election between Dems and Repubs would largely be the same in 2016, culminating in a Hillary victory.

A significant portion of the dem supporting population staying at home in November will undoubtedly hurt the dems.
I think the bigger issue, and what may hurt more are the 50-something demographic delegates who said "screw this, I'm getting on a plane to go home, if it snows in November I won't bother going out to vote and if it doesn't I'm voting for Trump."
Again, emotions running high and some I'm sure will land and reflect on their choice, but the reoccurring theme I heard from delegates who were leaving the floor was that 'the DNC doesn't listen to its delegates, it doesn't abide by the party rules, can't support this any longer I'm out.'
