I am confident new leaders will emerge who can articulate a synthesis of the views promoted by Hilary and Bernie.

The problem is that I don't see key DUers giving up on maintaining the primary wars. It shift to proxy wars. Both sides have alternative sites where they can bash within party partisans and then come back here ready to pick a fight or retaliate.

Someday maybe.
