That an independent is winning the nomination for the Democrat party doesn’t bode well for Democrats.

How so? They are all socialists and everybody knows it.

How does it serve the Democrat brand if the Democrats can't even field one of their own as a winning choice?

Sure, we can all probably agree that Sanders is really a Democrat who is going independent to be "maverick" (as I suspect the whole "independent but caucuses with Democrats" really is), but why can't the DNC enforce a rule that ONLY Democrat-registered candidates would get the logistical support and funding from the Democrat party?

Would it really hurt Sanders to become a registered Democrat, and stay there after the election?
