If Bernie had been a Democrat for as many years as Hillary, and if he had spent the time she has in generating friendships within the party and also outside of the party, he might have more loyalty to the party than he has.
What he's done (and yes I know he voted with the Dems much of the time, but so what?) is maintained his maverick status, not shown any propensity for loyalty, and gone and done his own thing. So now, when it's important for him to endorse Hillary for the sake of unity, he's taking his sweet time. He's playing it his way, like Frank Sinatra.
Bernie has an agenda he's been pushing since day 1. He doesn't care about the Democratic Party. He wants to morph it into something of his creation. Problem is that most people are not on board with his agenda. Yes some enthusiastic young people are, but right now they need to learn that compromise is the name of the game. That's some tough love based in reality.
The millennial generation is bigger than the Boomers now, and they are a major force, but this time around is not their time. They need to wait their turn....just suck it up and come back stronger and wiser next time. Then they can vote in their Bernie clone of choice and it will be a majority vote. And the sooner Bernie puts his feet on the ground and comes to grips with what he needs to do, the better for everyone all around. Waiting for Hillary to be indicted is a non issue.
