The Hill recently published a story, which is correct, that includes a number of progressives who are concerned that Sanders may be going too far in criticizing Clinton. I hope that Sanders and his campaign staff, who are aware of my views, take this to heart.

From my perspective, the best case would be that Sanders continues his campaign through the primaries, stops all attacks against likely Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, concentrates his fire against Trump, and continues to promote his progressive and populist policies and calls for reform of the Democratic Party.

Objectively the probability that Sanders wins a majority of elected delegates is 1 percent and the probability that Clinton wins a majority of elected delegates is 99 percent. It is no coincidence that Trump is now quoting Sanders’s criticisms of Clinton to advance his candidacy and undermine liberals, and trying to appeal to Sanders voters, which I do not believe will succeed and which I believe Sanders should make every effort to ensure does not succeed.
