Exits in WV showed 40% of Sanders voters would go Trump in a T-S general. 40% in 2012 voted for an inmate over Obama.

The 2012 vote was an uncontested primary and near meaningless. Don't get why that's bandied about as dispositive.

All the 2012 primaries were uncontested. Show me the one where anyone else, much less a convict, pulled in 40% vs BO.

John Wolfe Jr. received 42% in the 2012 AR primary. Does that somehow discredit HRC's victory 4 years later?

Right, forgot about John Wolfe. He ran on Medicare for All, Anti-Trust Glass Steagall etc. So, an actual liberal. /1
