You don't build a movement by tearing down an opponent

You build a movement much the way you sell the construction of a new house... you convince the customers that the images and floor plan of the new building are what the customer wants.

Sanders is working to convince people that government of the people, by the people, within a mixed economy that protects the people from the rapacious tendencies of free-capitalist markets is the thing they want to build.

Tearing down HRC contributes nothing to what will be, regardless of the primary outcome, Sanders legacy on American politics.
