The rabid, BoB types are a small percentage of Ds. Most of them are indies. I would guess that less than 5% of Ds fall into the BoB category.

Independents never decide elections. Never. They divide evenly between leaning heavily D or heavily R. Only 5% of indies would equally consider the D and R candidate. The rest are actually Ds and Rs who simply don't want the party label attached to their name. So that's a wash when it comes to elections.

Only one thing really matters: turning out your base. If you do that, you win, especially if you're the Ds, because there are more Ds in this country than Rs.

There's lots of enthusiasm for Hillary, little for Trump. Hillary will win in a landslide.
