Very good point about the people up for re-election in Congress. I actually just read an article earlier this week talking about that possibility. That is Sanders wins the nomination -- which looks pretty likely, especially as the states voting get less white... That he (Sanders) could very well end up costing Democrats the House of Rep and there would be about 0 chance of claiming the Senate. Very , very interesting stuff. I've been changing my mind on this a lot.. The thought of a progressive vs a moderate taking the nomination. At some points during this process, I felt like it would help to have the progressive. Then I would change my mind later and think that was crazy.. then I was reading all these stories about Warren buttering up to the DNC elites so I was back on the progressive train.. and now that Pete looks like the clear #2 after two votes (again, still a lot can change)... I am beginning to think a progressive nominee is good news for Trump. I think I am gonna stick here though. But, also a good point by you... It might not even matter, because the Bernie people will probably riot if he loses (the nomination). lol

Not only that--but think about all the moderate Democratic Congressmen in battleground districts who will struggle to get re-elected with far-left Sanders on the ticket. Additionally, I think a similar problem might befall Democrats if Sanders doesn't get the nomination. Think of all the young, far-left liberals who are essentially Bernie-or-nobody voters. They are already disillusioned from the DNC corruption from 2016; if Sanders fails to get the nomination--especially given his current, undisputed status as frontrunner--many of them will stay home or vote third party. If you're a Trump supporter, you're loving this. If you're a Democrat, you've got to be wondering: Is there a left-but-not-far-left candidate who can successfully unite the moderate and liberal wings of the party?
