538 - status of Sanders voters

[rjmacs]

So, as usual - we're faced with the question: how many Sanders supporters are ideological twits who will throw away their vote in the voting booth?

Also, how many of these voters would ever have voted for a major party candidate, and were only supporting Bernie as an anti-party move?

I expect the votes Clinton is supposedly 'losing' are ones she (or a GOP nominee) never had any chance of winning anyway, so it's a wash. These people were never going to vote Clinton or Trump. I would guess that most of them don't regularly vote.
