I hear your outrage, Reg. You have to think that a fair number of the Bernie folks would stay home or vote for Trump. We know that happened last time and I'm guessing it would be greater this time. As to the long-term disillusionment you predict, again, you might be prescient. 

You are far more into the weeds of this than I am. I've read a bit about receiving a plurality of votes versus a majority and how things change from the first round of voting to subsequent ones.  Can you speak to this and also if Sanders changed his position from 2016 to the present? Don't wish to hasten a bout of digital carpal tunnel, Reg, it's just that you get to the heart of matters in such a concise and easy-to-read fashion.
