Bernie's message to many of his followers is to stir up

desperation and anger, then excitement, eventually promising them stair steps to hope. Their reaction is expected based on Bernie's actions. Eventually this continued action/reaction results in an emotional experience that satisfies some voters quest to be "taken care of." Each time they meet up in a rally they are being reassured by Bernie, the guy that understands them, and is looking out for "them!" When in reality this path that Bernie's has taken his voters on hasn't been completely laid out to the extent where I'm unsure whether his policies and promises are understood by them. They only "feel" an outcome that's in their favor and are justifiably dug in. My hope for them is if Bernie loses this election they remain active in whatever it is that drives them to keep fighting the good fight.

2. If Bernie is the nominee and loses

then his supporters can turn their wrath on the American electorate generally instead of complaining about the Party.

3. I feel bad for his supporters,

they are working hard for someone who will not be honest with them and cannot deliver. They will suffer the most in another Trump term.

4. If anybody in the primary against him

has oppo, it's time to dump it. You know the other side is going to bludgeon him with whatever is out there, Bloomberg may as well try it, see if he can spring Biden to the nomination. Otherwise, Bernie is on his way.
