Sen. Bernie Sanders calls for unity, but his supporters have other ideas.
Democratic candidates make last push before 1st caucuses in the countryThe Associated Press
Such episodes demonstrate the tension at the heart of Sanders' campaign as he shows signs of strength heading into Monday's caucuses. While the self-described democratic socialist has never backed away from his call for political revolution, the visions of unity he also articulates are sometimes at odds with the rhetoric espoused by his supporters. The dynamic is playing out at a precarious time for the Democratic Party, which will have to unite to unseat President Donald Trump.
Conversely, a series of losses would amplify calls on Sanders to ensure that his supporters rally behind the ultimate nominee. He insisted on Saturday that he would do just that. Sanders' problem is he may only be able to achieve true unity by compromising on what many supporters see as his greatest strength: consistency over his decades in political office — even on positions that bucked this own party.
