I will refuse to debate this further with you, but you do Hillary a disservice to blame her high unfavorables on the fact that she is a woman. But then again, I have learned my lesson that voters are clearly not as I believe them to be.... so never mind.

I hope to hell she's pissed off enough people to have unfavorables from those who disagree with her. I'd be disappointed if she didn't.
But there is a residual sexism that is going to heavy color this race and is one of her biggest liabilities. A lot of so-called progressive Bernie Bros are really misogynist shits under it all.
My point was more to catalog what to watch, not to disagree. I suspect we agree more than disagree on some of the horserace aspects of the race. All of these things, though, will be issues of degree.
I happen to not believe a ton of former Cruz supporters and Sanders supporters who say they won't be with their nominee in November. I think especially the men among the Cruz supporters will slowly and reluctantly make their peace with the Donald, and most Sanders supporters, especially the younger voters and women, will make their peace with Hillary. But I think those who don't and who bolt, supporting a third party or the other party's candidate will still be higher (and you may well be among those in this category). I just have no idea yet how much higher.
