as I am about the DNC & Hillary's millions & her support, as
the author says "will Hillary be willing to be a good soldier and
true democrat, putting her Super PAC money behind Bernie Sanders?"

I think Bernie is stronger on labor issues than Hillary, by far. Look
no further than the TPP on that one. Labor support for Hillary is
more them buying into her "inevitability", than being truly thrilled
about her actual record on Labor issues.
