Here's the deal...

5. Welcome to the "DU Primaries" melting pot.

where people will nit pick and argue over a particular candidates strengths and weaknesses and even get some that will say if XXX candidate wins I'm not supporting them.

America is a "conservative" country - conservative with a small "c". But yeah the Trump Party (formerly known as the Republican Party) has gone on a hard right bent that yep, the Clinton's could be tarred as "far left". Heck even Richard Nixon would be far left, what with him introducing things like the EPA... at least honourable Republicans caught with their hand in the till resign. This replacement Trump Party doesn't give a $#!+ about people, whatever it takes to stay in power.

IMO Bernie is the Anti Trump, but has taken on some Trump like tendencies as of late. Far better than actual Trump of course.

As for any action that any future Democratic President can take when in office... one will find that once the leader of the party has been selected that there will be a lot of falling in line behind the leader and there will be some arm twisting behind the scenes to get said leader to moderate their stance somewhat. We have seen that it is hard to keep the Tangerine Idi Amin in line with traditional Republican thinking, but we have seen the GOP pretty much go lock step with whatever the Marmalade Shartcannon wants. Unlike the Orange Mugabe, Bernard Sanders has been around Washington DC long enough to know how it works, know what can be done and what cannot be done.
