A delicate dance to broker peace between Clinton and Sanders

[Proud Public Servant]

The competition between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders entered an urgent new phase Wednesday — a delicate minuet that Clinton and leading Democrats hope will soothe tensions and move their divided party toward enthusiastic unification behind the presumptive presidential nominee.

On Wednesday, some Sanders backers urged him not to back down until Clinton makes meaningful concessions. “She’s going to have to inspire trust,” said Ben Jealous, a former NAACP leader and a Sanders supporter.

But others, including Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva(D-Ariz.), are gently urging Sanders to accept the reality that Clinton will become the nominee.

A handful of people are playing key roles in trying to broker peace between the two warring campaigns, including President Obama, Vice President Biden, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.).

So much for "no organized party..."

1. All new party heads

Then we can talk.

Obama can do that, at the least.

2. I'd like for the Democratic Establishment to clearly show they recognize the value, the passion, the

strong principles of the Bernie Supporters and that they make dramatic moves to make them feel welcome in the modern day Democratic Party.

3. You are a dreamer, eh?

They hate us. We cost them money and make them work. Just look at all we cost Hillary and how hard she had to work.

5. what moves would that involve?

(setting aside removing DWS, which will happen but in 2017)

4. on the one hand, I'm glad we have so many capable and responsible intermediaries

on the other hand, Clinton and Sanders should be able to figure this out on their own by talking to each other
