1. At this point it appears that the primary campaign is still going on.
I'm not worried. Eventually we will have a nominee, and it'll take a little time for people to adjust. But I have no doubt that the vast majority of DUers will be on board for the general election when the time comes.
Everyone knows where this is going, everyone understands what is at stake in the general election. It'll all be fine.
