I'll definitely lose a great deal of respect for Sanders if he seriously intends on going through to the convention. However, I highly doubt he'll stay in much longer. He'll probably drop out some time between the 8th and the 14th. If he does, and gives a passionate endorsement of Clinton, urging his supporters to back her, will his haters admit they were at least partially wrong about him?

Without going into too much detail, millennials were definitely already "anti-establishment" before Sanders started his campaign. Let's just say that the cost of tuition, housing prices, and the current job market for n00bs doesn't exactly make them think that the system favors them. Sanders at least gave a lot of young people something to believe in, even if they were overly idealistic. He brought a lot of new people, who could very well have sat this election out, into politics, and brought what could be a large addition to the Democratic coalition. No doubt, many of the people he's brought in will vote for Clinton in November. Some of them are not on board yet, and their criticisms of Hillary Clinton might not be entirely fair. Smearing Sanders and his supporters in the same unfair way that a select few of them do to Clinton, though, is counterproductive. It only pushes them further away.

Anyway, perhaps there have been times where Sanders fanned the flames, but putting this all at his feet is ludicrous. It's like blaming all of the Republican obstruction of Obama on Clinton.
