About Bernie Sanders is the fact if he wins the nomination than it will then be clear the "revolution" at that point is successful.
So then through his general election campaigning he asks voters to send to Washinton a Congress that will work with him and at that point voters will respond positively.
So the idea of not having a Congress to work with then becomes a non issue.
