"I was just talking to Jeff Weaver last night, and in his most pointed language, he said to me, "Look, we need 25 percent to be able to get some of these issues out for a wider floor vote and it could really tie things up, and if we don't feel like we're being respected, if we don't feel like we're being treated the way we should, that's something that we're willing to do. So, some of the strongest language I've heard from anybody atop his campaign talking about what they're willing to do at the national convention."In other words, Bernie may or may not be capable of understanding that the party will never let him win, but - as I argued here - that might not necessarily be his endgame. Bernie isn't eyeing the kind of victory that the Democrats, and Clintons in particular, are used to seeking. His "win conditions" are as much ideological as they are political. Considering that Hillary doesn't really believe in anything, it's not surprising that she's failed to grasp that. The longer he's in, the more damage he and his army of true believers will deal the Democrat party.
