23. It would be like talking to a wall.

The party would be wasting its time.

I envision that Bernie will disrupt the Democratic convention. There will be demonstrations outside the convention center and inside.

The party needs unity at the convention and Bernie won't provide it. The Republicans will love it, and there will be little or no convention bounce in the polls for Hillary.

That's the Bernie legacy.
