If you don't have the support of the base, you won't be the nominee.

108. And the so called base that does not vote for the nominee will endure

President Trump...Paul Ryan is positively giddy about getting rid of Obamacare...elections have consequences...and those who believe president Trump will usher in single payer by ridding the country of the only health care millions can get will soon see the error of their ways... with the GOP in charge of everything, we will be lucky if we have elections going forward. I think any Democrat has to support the Democratic Party in order to move policy which is why we have elections...to get things done...it is also as a reason to vote mid-term...imagine if Pres. Obama had been supported in 2010...how different things would be...so unless you enjoy the shitshow unleashed by the worst president in my lifetime...who will radically change the courts and affect our Grandkids lives, maybe you should support the party regardless of whether you love, love the nominee or not. There is no Democrat who is not a million times better than any Republican. I would remind you that Sec. Clinton won the popular vote and lost the electoral college by less than 100,000 votes in about six states. I will remind you that uber conservatism bordering on fascism never gives creates a liberal uprising...not only will we get nothing that any progressive could want, but we will lose much progressive policy in place since Roosevelt. Honestly, I don't see how we recover. And those who think this is a good thing are completely delusional and certainly not liberal or progressive. Also, I take issue with your statement about owing anyone a job. Hillary Clinton beat the pants off of Bernie Sanders and that is a fact...he would have been out way before march if not for undemocratic low vote caucuses...and he should have conceded an endorsed way before the convention. The lesson I take from this debacle is to never allow someone who refuses to join the Democratic Party to run as a Democrat in a presidential primary. If said candidate has serious enough disagreements with the party that they can not become a member, he/she should never be permitted to run in a primary because it is convenient for him/her.
