Senate Democrats queasy over Sanders as nominee

“I think there’s a substantial element of people worried about where we’re going,” said a Democratic senator, who requested anonymity to comment on discussions with colleagues…

“There is a real sense that whoever gets it, we’ve got to be behind him. This election is too important,” the senator said.

Other Democrats are downplaying Sanders’s recent victories but fretting about whether he will embrace one of his rivals as the party’s eventual nominee if Sanders loses the contest.

“We all hope to God he will follow what he said last night in New Hampshire that we’re all on the same team and it’s all of our responsibility to bring whatever we can to help the nominee,” said another Democratic senator.
