Endorsements don't carry the weight they once did. And certainly, lack of endorsements doesn't equate to non-support within the party down the road should Bernie win the GE and become President.
You may also be right that Bernie won't/can't win the nomination. We shall see on that -- I certainly hope you are wrong and believe he has a legitimate shot. If he does not, it will have been because of the Party and Clinton machine.
BTW, long-term Democrats are not voting for Hillary. Some are, probably most, but many aren't. I have voted D for more than 40 years. I'm 100% for Bernie. Am I an "insurgent"? Seems to me you minimize, and the Party marginalizes, these "insurgents" by calling them that. I think the Party will, in fact, pay for that down the road.
