of her being nice to steamroll his entire agenda into the platform.

The last thing Hillary and the Ds need is to have had 14-million voters reject Sanders' vision in favor of Hillary's, only to have the platform reflect that which they voted against.

It would be different if he was the kind of guy who understood compromise, but he doesn't.

as I understand it. Now Hillary can express her support for certain things, but I do not think she can determine exactly what will be on it anyway.

Party platforms haven't mattered for squat in about 100 years.

So if you want that piece of paper Bernie, you can have it.
