I hate to say it but regardless of what’s going to happen, I’m afraid they’re gonna call it rigged and I’m less bullish than you are about Bernie and the youth vote. He has a devoted following but it’s not that strong and unfortunately I think it’s a mistake to rely on a notoriously unreliable demographic. I’ve had people I know tout how great Bernie is. Yet they won’t make calls or knock doors. They just think Bernie will waltz to victory because they think we’re all secretly wanting to vote for him. That’s just wrong. Anyhow this time next month I think it’s gonna be a different race.

Here’s the thing. Democrats like us are going to #votebluenomatterwho. We are in the bank. However many marginal voters Bernie would bring in who otherwise wouldn’t vote increase our odds of winning. I think it could be a lot, you think not so much, but it would all be positive. People who will run to Trump at the sound of the word “socialist” probably aren’t going to vote democratic anyway.
