1. "They will turn out for her no matter what Bernie does."

What is the worst thing Bernie can do to her at this point?

Keep attacking her character? He’s done that for months and she’s still winning.
Turn the media against her? They’ve already hit her harder than any candidate — according to two independent studies — and she’s still winning.

Impugn the Clinton Foundation, mention her emails, call her a war hawk, suggest she’s corrupt? He’s done all that (and did it again today) and she’s still winning.

Spend the next seven weeks until the convention struggling for air time, seeking attention by doing things like siding with Donald when Hillary questions his qualifications? He’s done that and she’s still winning.

Pretend that the nomination was stolen from him, that the process was rigged? He tried that and eventually came around to admitting it wasn’t true.

Pressure superdelegates to overturn the will of the people? He’s done that and not one has switched to him.

Try to create procedural hurdles at the convention? Hillary will still be the nominee and once the convention is in the rear view mirror, she’ll still be positioned to defeat Donald

Very encouraging piece from Peter Daou, iaaa.. thank you!
