Clinton or Sanders

In an email from Sanders the morning I realized (belatedly) why Sanders will fight to the bitter end. Although has been in politics most of his adult life, he's not a career politician - he's a conviction politician. He's driven not by opportunities for him personally but by the vision of changing society for the better. He sees this is an inflection point, a once in a generation opportunity to make lasting and significant change. His goal is not the presidency, but change itself, for which the presidency and the campaign are but a means to an end. And he has nothing to lose by fighting on; the worst that can happen is that the status quo prevails.
