Good Advice from Robert Reich---https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwj8h8jmxf3MAhUKwGMKHa_JDOwQFggjMAI&url=http%3A%2F%2Frobertreich.org%2Fpost%2F144976019235&usg=AFQjCNGfg5I0KCuG8pMutdD6GaRtM8Vdjw&sig2=pGfoPvBdT9h8PpXLiXHbXA
Excerpts:
Sanders should stay in the race also because he has attracted a large number of young people and independents. Their passion, excitement, and enthusiasm are critically important to Hillary Clinton’s success, if she’s the nominee, as well the success of other Democrats this year, and, more fundamentally, to the future of American politics.
Some of you (Sanders supporters) agree a Trump presidency would be a disaster but claim it would galvanize a forceful progressive movement in response.
That’s unlikely. Rarely if ever in history has a sharp swing to the right moved the political pendulum further back in the opposite direction. Instead, it tends to move the “center” rightward, as did Ronald Reagan’s presidency.
