Hi Maggie, I've loved your work since the Politco days and was thrilled when you came to the Times. Also I love your Twitter! Thanks for doing this.
Question: At what point does the Democratic party start to get impatient with Sanders for not dropping out? I see little reason for him to drop out insofar as he can (re)cast himself as an issue/protest candidate. But, at a certain point, he becomes a distraction from the looming general.
How will people try to force him out of the race without alienating his base of support? And how does Clinton pivot to a general in the twilight of the primary, without seeming dismissive of him? Seems to me that this is the next looming issue in the Dem primary.
