I wouldn't count on a sudden conversion to realism in the Sanders' camp. I suspect it will more like a drip, drip, drip once the warm, fuzzy feelings start to wear thin and the word 'revolution' begins to lose its gleam.

Numbers are obstinate, stubborn things. You can corral them for awhile, pretend they aren't important. But they always break free, even for the dream catchers.
