6. I hope his meeting with Obama tomorrow is a sh*t-or-get-off-the-pot moment.

Obama and Reid need to make it clear to Sanders that he's either with the program or he is a pariah among Dems.

If I was them, I would insist that he stop campaigning right now. His name will still be on the DC ballot - where he will lose in a landslide - so his supporters can vote for him. But the campaigning has to stop, because he is now campaigning AGAINST Hillary, who is the nominee.

Enough with the kid gloves when it comes to Sanders. It reminds me of the way people treated Bush Jr - he put out enough of a vibe that he was slightly deranged/stupid/impulsive that people gave him too much room politically. They didn't challenge him because they were afraid it would set him off to do real damage somewhere. Looks like the politicians see Sanders in the same way.
