Agreed, I think Sanders wasn't what the Democrats were worried about. He had a lot of rhetoric from the past (FDR era) and "our revolution" might have radicalized enough youth to take up action...and certainly if he stepped out of line that he could have been replaced. There was a theory that at the 2016 DNC convention that he was 'roughed up' some claimed he had marks on his face and his demeanor was drastically altered that night. The DNC seemed to make a capitulation to Sanders supporters by replacing Schultz. I don't know, but there seems to have been something going on with him and the DNC that wasn't kosher.
They wouldn't have let him do much, and if he'd stepped out of line they could have replaced him by the plane crash or lone gun man trick.

I vaguely remember that. I'd put nothing past these people. Perhaps they threatened his family too. Talk about old-school politics from the FDR era...
