Here's an Idea, Senator Sanders:

16. I think Sanders has two kinds of followers.

The first kind see him as a candidate with ideas that might improve governance in this country. When push comes to shove, though, that kind of Sanders supporter will vote for the Democratic nominee in the end.

The second kind of follower has a revolutionary political philosophy and believes that only a dramatic and drastic change can save the nation, or believes that we would be better off with no government at all. That kind of follower of Bernie Sanders will not vote for the Democratic candidate. In truth, they don't really even like Bernie all that much. They are interested only in their point of view and reject all others.

In many ways, people on both the far right and far left prefer chaos to order. The right wing has Donald Trump, who represents chaotic government better than any former President. The leftmost Sanders supporters count on Bernie to lead the nation into chaos, as well, through an inability to form coalitions.

When either extreme holds power, we are in big, big trouble.
