Simple solution Skinner, a POLL, should Skinner "Call It"???

121. Let me explain how your theory will play out in real life.

First, John Kasich somehow gets the Republican nomination.

Second, Hillary loses to Kasich.

Now let's fast forward to the year 2020. Elizabeth Warren is the nominee. We are all working really hard to get her elected. You do your part by going to the local county Democratic party HQ, or perhaps the co-ordinated campaign, and offering to volunteer.

While out canvassing some of the people you are with mention how hard they worked for Hillary four years ago, and how devastated they were when she lost. You probe further to see if they tried to make the best of her nomination or if they actively worked to choose her over Bernie. In over half the cases it was the latter.

You are disgusted with these people and don't try to hide. You berate them throughout the day, demanding that they apologize for their shameful behavior. When they refuse, you continually target them with your angry lectures. Even the pleas of your fellow former Sanders supporters to stop fall on deaf ears.

This happens again the next day. And then again the day after that.

By the fourth day you will be gone. The party would take the unusual step of turning a volunteer away. Because you were affecting other people's ability to be constructive, which therefore made you obstructive.

This is the path you are on (assuming you are even correct in predicting Hillary's defeat). You are heading down a road in which four years from now you are kicked out of party headquarters and not allowed to assist Elizabeth Warren's campaign in getting her elected.
