Is the Democratic Party committed to the success of Bernie Sanders?

And the average American citizen?

Or has the party been hopelessly corrupted by Wall Street infiltrators?

The party rolled over for their boy Christie and left her metaphorically for dead. That's just the 1 most recent and glaring example I can think of as a NJ resident.

to maintaining the status quo. Bernie's philosophy is not a good fit for that agenda.

Right now Sanders is not polling well in states with less than 90+% white voters and is not supported by key groups in the Democratic base. Lets see if sanders can win the Democratic nomination before we worry about his level of support. Right now Sanders has a 7% chance of being the nominee and those odds are about right http://predictwise.com/politics/2016-president-democratic-nomination/
