Some elements of the movement (especially young) are more thoroughgoing "Berners," but elected delegates likely to be pre-existing leftists.
-
Leftist delegates are not temperamentally or philosophically inclined to abide by dictates coming from on high. (unlike most GOP delegates)
-
That's why fuss about discord at the GOP convention (full of authoritarian-minded delegates who respect hierarchy) was always so misplaced.
-
Real action in terms of "discord" was always far more likely at the Dem convention -- whether or not Bernie himself countenances it.
