If Bernie goes into the convention with a significant delegate lead and Biden wins via use of super delegates, I'd guess Biden can count on losing 1/3-1/2 of would-be Bernie voters.

One of the great things about the Bernie campaign (OK, maybe it's the only great thing...) is that now anyone at all can be a member of The Establishment. All you have to do is vote against him and, BAM!, you're The Establishment, doesn't matter what the color of your skin, your gender, your sexual preference, your past criminal record, your income, whatever, you have suddenly made it!
