Actually it is better for Hillary Clinton if Bernie Sanders stays in The Primaries until the bitter

If by chance Hillary Clinton gets the nomination, she will be under vicious attacks by the Republicans. As long as Bernie Sanders is in The race the republicans cannot just focus on Hillary Clinton. They still have to watch Bernie Sanders. Hillary Clinton benefits while Bernie Sanders can still draw attention and time away from her to him.

And maybe they're right. A large chunk of America was easily convinced that Obama's a Kenyan Muslim Socialist. Many still think that. Never underestimate the stupid.
