The voting on Bernie is no longer about Bernie. It is about the Civil War taking place in the Democratic Party. The familiarity the African-American and Latino's had with Hillary set up a strange alchemy that will not happen as a general political force going forward.

Going forward ,we're going to see a coalition of the millennial's, deep liberals and minorities to completely reshape our politics and build the type of social safety nets that exist in the rest of the Western democracies. And it will be fueled by the needs of the minorities, poor and disenfranchised i.e. the massive inequality and pervasive poverty that continues in this richest country in the world, and the engine will be the millennial's, deep liberals and minority leaders pulling together. Hillary is going to be in for one tough ride if she does not get on board this train.

The people that are voting for Bernie are voting against the policies of the establishment Democrats embodied by Hillary at the moment. As Thomas Frank said, the meritocracy. Our hands are tied when it came to Obama, we had to afford him the respect he deserved as the first African-American president. We had to be polite for eight years. But that will end when Hillary is elected president and then you will see the gravity of the new left consisting of the coalition above force Hillary much further left than she would go otherwise and indeed the entire Congress and especially the Democrats.
