It's 1980 Again

In 1980, a hard left Democrat (for that time) Ted Kennedy, decided to run against a centrist Democrat (Carter).  The left end of the party never quite overcame their dislike of Carter, and Reagan was elected.  5/2/16 The Hill:

Many Democrats believe Clinton effectively clinched the nomination after a string of victories across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic gave her what looks to be an insurmountable lead in delegates.
