(1,772 posts)they were pissed when Obama won fair and square.
Imagine how much more pissed they would be if Hillary won fair and square and Sanders took it from her. And I doubt Hillary will give another pretty unity speech at the convention if that happens.
So, seems like a basic flaw in Sanders' plan.
