actual power, position and attention, something bad is bound to happen.

She's a hardcore activist with views on Israel most certainly not shared by the vast majority of Jews, no less the rest of our Party or general electorate. Her political conflagration was inevitable, and she might not yet be done causing problems for Bernie or Democrats. She now has the attention of the press during an election. Will she be more loyal to Bernie and our Party or her ideology and activism?
