If this last minute attempt to declare unity and prematurely nominate Hillary Clinton via the platform proved anything -- it is that the Sanders movement will not likely receive any endorsement by Sanders with cheers but instead with jeers.
As many are predicting Sanders intends such an action today in a joint appearance with Clinton in New Hampshire, anticipate a resounding and loudly articulated negative response from the audience. A response that will likely reverberate throughout the country in minutes -- and will only reinforce an already nearly unbridgeable divide within the Party.
Even if the Party and Clinton campaign convince Sanders to end his call for a contest at the Convention -- the Convention will be contested in Philly both in the Wells-Fargo Center among the delegates and in the protests in the streets.
Nothing could signal the reality of the Democratic Party's inner civil war more strongly than the accidental passage of the marijuana de-scheduling amendment due to the failure to control the votes of the Clinton camp when Wendy Sherman and her thumb briefly left the room and then the incredibly out of touch Unity Motion and the feeble attempts at cheer-leading by Maxine Waters after it was reluctantly withdrawn to avoid an open revolt by the Sanders camp as the final act of the platform process.
