"Old Guard" = Party "machine"..
I doubt if Bernie will get the nomination. Hillary already has over 300 "Super delegates" (i.e. Democrat party bosses) committed to her.
Is that etched in stone, or promises made when things were rosy?
As the repubs party leadership still wants The Don to disappear, I am not sure how the DNC can sanction a Hillary ticket if she loses a majority of the primaries....
It is such a weird year. I work at a heavily leaning left ( union ) workplace, yet most are over overwhelmingly supporting The Don....
And you have mostly right leaning folk, like me, who would rather take a chance with a Bernie, than a Trump...... go figger.
When you have BC claiming Hillary is NOT the establishment, you know the internals have got to be revealing.....
This is where The Don, and Bernie, must be getting their followers.
