Whether Mr. Sanders endorses her enthusiastically and campaigns for her, or recognizes her as the nominee but otherwise withholds his blessing, is a significant concern for some Clinton advisers. Others in her campaign think that Democrats will ultimately unite because the possibility of a Trump victory is too great to ignore.


This is an admission that she's unlikely to win without Sanders supporters, and knows she can't convince many on her own. It also signals the stereotypical neo-liberal establishment pattern: to distract voters from your bad candidate, drum up fear of the other to force lesser evil votes.

Neo-liberal Democrats may reap what they've sown. They won't like that.
