Sanders Is No Longer Hillary's Problem. He's The DNC's Problem.
Yep.
The old fart's ego has him flailing at windmills of his own creation. He believes his own spin, and he's going to ride the $27 admiration train for as long as he can (hey - he waited 40 years for this spotlight!).
Hillary's doing just fine. She's won the nomination and is on her way to the presidency. She doesn't need to engage Sanders any longer, not on a debate stage, not in campaign dialogue and certainly not in the Party platform.
But the DNC does have to deal with the self-aggrandizing monster they created when they allowed Back-bench Bernie to run in the D primaries as a DINO. He's quickly moved from defeat in the primaries to his Plan B, which is to take down the Democratic Party in no uncertain terms. I'm sure the DNC is under no delusions that there is anything benign or constructive in Sanders' latest gambit. They're not fooled by his "I've never gone negative" lies or his "gotta defeat the Rs" attempts at appeasement. His 2016 end game is clear: take down the D Party and replace it with a party modeled in his political image.
We can only hope the DNC is already on top of the emerging political violence Sanders is hoping to unleash on the party and is prepared to take the steps necessary to stop this half-baked usurper in his tracks.

unlike now we weren't trashing the party.. but the differences of opinion on candidates was wild. Insults were thrown but not everyone got butthurt about it.. they just threw some back.
The trashing of the Democrats in general never would have happened though - so on that count it is worse now. Tolerating insults was required to survive the primaries back then. 
I'm usually quiet. Not anymore. 
to some Johnny-Come-Lately. Nothing doing.
