I wonder if there is a subset of voters - and how large of one - that understands that there are substantial differences between the two outsiders, but nevertheless want change -- and once they have decided on that outsider, they will vote for a Congress that will provide the capability of passing his program. For example, they will assume that if they choose Trump, he will need a Republican Congress to advance his program. Likewise, they assume that if they choose Sanders, he will need a Democratic Congress to advance his program. I.E., one way or another, once they make their choice, they are taking it the distance.

I kind of expect that i am imagining a very small subset of voters.

On the other hand, as long as Sanders is able to maintain the level of enthusiasm surrounding his campaign, he might have the better chance of hanging some strong coattails.

Regards,
