Obama ran vs. Hillary. Bernie is running against the corrupt system

Obama had more establishment backing in 2008, remember that Ted Kennedy endorsement him. Also keep in mind that corporate media was in Obama's Corner as well.

Bernie isn't running against Hillary, he's running Against the Machine.

and his supporters will just fall in line and unite. Good or bad it is what it is.

Obama and Clinton were both corporate dems with equal support in the party, Bernie is a true outsider and probably 75 percent of the people that voted for him are to. No way they unite in the same way they did in 08 when you had apples to apples, not apples to oranges like you have now.
