I would expect all the Democrats in this primary to rally behind the winner in the end and work together to try to defeat the Republican, as Bernie did.

Let's focus on the fact that there is so much enthusiasm behind Democratic party candidates in Michigan and there is a very good chance that Michigan's next governor will be a Democrat!
