Hillary Clinton, suddenly on the run for her life in California, suffers a problem that won’t go away even if Bernie Sanders finally concedes and goes home to New England. To beat Donald Trump in November she must unite the quarreling factions of a party that makes the Republican coalition look like a resigned if not entirely happy family.
