As this election season gets underway, and the party begins to coalesce toward November 2016, Bernie's unaffiliated history and his declining membership as a Democrat--even after having won Democratic nominations--will become the political elephant in the room.

This supporting of other Democrats is a great part of Hillary's stump speech, and it will become more important as the primaries approach. Perhaps rumors of Bernie actually registering as a Democrat might add some "authenticity" to his actually wanting the Democratic nomination this time.
