Bernie Sanders is addressing the Democratic National Convention Monday night in what is supposed to be a clarion call for party unity, a final laying down of arms against the Democratic establishment and the completion of a full pivot from his primary race against Hillary Clinton and to attacking Donald Trump — and keeping the White House in Democratic hands for four more years.
But the trouble with a political revolution is that, once burning, it’s hard to snuff out, even when its leader asks to.
