In 1980, I was the warm up speaker for a presidential candidate, before a crowd of 7500. I was buzzed for a week, on a free taste of the adulation that Bernie has been mainlining for months. The first step is admitting the addiction, lest he follow Nader's self righteous tumble from glory into the political gutter. He has had his run and altered the agenda, now he must prepare for a full throated endorsement of Hillary.
No doubt Sanders has legitimate grievances. I witnessed the saintly Jimmy Carter's organization send out the fire marshal in Fontana, Ca to try to shut down a steelworkers' rally for Congressman Anderson's presidential campaign. One of the reasons I support Hillary is that she is better prepared to deliver and absorb low blows, than a long time Senate backbencher.
Sanders may consider Hillary an imperfect vessel for the progressive agenda, but Trump is a glass half crazy.
