7. Excellent OP. I too am more of a pragmatist than idealist.

Bernie supporters don't seem to understand the effect a potential 7-2 Right leaning Court would have on our agenda including Citizens United. They are willing to Bern the House down. Bernie himself felt it was necessary to come out a few weeks ago and speak to the Bernie Bros attacking Hillary supporters. Bernie knows that, if his supporters continue to poison the well, Bernie would be unelectable even if he won the nomination. I can honestly say that the Republicans have not attacked Hillary in the last quarter of a century like the Bernie supporters are noe. And that's saying a lot.
