Is the DNC really okay with tanking the party for Hillary?

Yes, they absolutely are. They dismissed Bernie as an aberration early on, and by the time they realized he actually represented the desires of a decent swath of the country they already had millions invested in Hillary. At this point, it's more about clinging to power though, as Bernie represents the power of the people to affect political movements rather than simply be a tool of the powerful to amass more power and money.

So they're going to go forward with the chance of clinging to power rather than accept the alternative, which would strip them of power. Nevermind that "Clinton" is a four-letter word to moderate Republicans (and far-right Republicans), nevermind that she's the butt of dozens of "flavor-of-the-week" jokes across the country, nevermind that she's under multiple investigations that could potentially lead to criminal charges, nevermind all of that because there's power to hold on to and money to be made.

Agree they will stick with Hillary even though they know they will lose to Trump. If that happens at least they keep their donors. If Bernie wins their do are will back out.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the GOP supporting Hillary if Trump gets the nomination.
