Good points there.From what I've seen most Democrats like both candidates.
Bernie has a lot of independent supporters that would take Trump over Clinton. Also a lot of young Democrats will be upset by Bernie's loss and not vote.
I think Sanders has energized younger people to reactivate their political interests that waned in 2012 when many who were stoked about Obama were disappointed in the results of Obama's first term.
Should Sanders not win the Dem nomination and decide to forego any idea of an Independent candidacy, those young people may very well tune out and stay home
