Bernie Sanders' Supporters too Uncontrollable for Clinton to Risk Naming Him her VP

The behavior of Bernie Sanders' supporters at the Nevada convention, was an eye-opener for me.  It is not because someone may or may not have launched a chair at the podium or the fact that death threats were lobbed at Democratic chair, Roberta Lange, her family and grandchildren.  It is rather the fact that losing presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, so easily persuaded his supporters, to declare that Nevada never happened.  Even more sinister is the Vermont Senator's campaign's meme that women, blacks, Latinos and anyone else who doesn't support Bernie are "the Establishment," motivated by illegal payoffs and are part of a dark, billionaire-Wall Street-Democratic Party conspiracy.  According to this narrative, this is the only reason he is losing by 3 million votes and 300 delegates.  In short, the more this campaign goes on, the more Sanders' entitled, white millennial supporters are giving  college educations -- where one presumably learns math and critical thinking skills --  a bad name.

So now, Bernie is hinting around that he'll stop organizing protests to disrupt the Democratic convention if Hillary names him her Vice-President. But if I were  Clinton, I'd exercise caution.  So  embittered has Sanders become at losing the nomination that he will continue dogwhistling disruption and chaos to his impressionable supporters, regardless of what soothing pronouncements he makes for public consumption.  Neither the Secret Service nor the entire United States Military, for that matter, are big enough to contain the explosive craziness of so-called Progressives, gullible enough to believe that Hillary Clinton is a bigger threat to America than Donald Trump.
