The Problem is: Hillary is part of the Obama Administration

But the solution is: Hillary is part of the Obama Administration.

It's no secret that Obama's disapproval ratings have been high from the start:

And then, there is the prickly and petulant way Obama supplies his support/prestige to Hillary, when he wants to, and I'm sure she pays a steep price for it. So tying Hillary to Obama and encouraging people of all persuasions to vote for Bernie in the primaries is essential.

The problem is that Hillary is going to get tripped up in the general, but has a very good chance of winning the primary. So Dems voting for Hillary in the primary hand the White House over to Republicans in the general.
