Why didn't he just run as an independent, that is what he is for crying out loud! His people hate everything and everybody attached to Hillary.

Voting for him would be a real "hold your nose and cross your fingers" exercise.

We used to be mildly supportive of Sanders and felt he was positive for the race.

Now, she makes gagging noises when he is on the TV and insists I turn the channel. It's worse when Jane is on. My wife is not a political junkie like me, but she does strongly identify as a Dem.

Sanders has ruined his brand with the majority of Dens by acting like an ass.

He is teaching people to hate Hillary AND the Democratic Party. He is teaching them to idolize him as the one with all the answers, when in fact he is grumbling about things he couldn't change in 25 years!

March 25, 2016 Link: http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2016/03/25/3763388/bernie-sanders-dnc-lawsuit-voter-file/

The lawsuit argues that the DNC unfairly barred Sanders from accessing critical voter information — specifically, a 50-state “voter file” containing information about how to reach potential voters. The DNC briefly suspended Sanders’ access to that file in December, after one of his staffers improperly accessed Clinton’s voter data.


What kind of a Democratic candidate do that? He has hated the Dems as long as he has hated Republicans.

"Democratic" candidate. He has shown that he is All About Bernie and has become the Trump of the Left!

A "lawsuit" against the DNC for following its own rules?

This campaign's whole strategy seems to be "making things up as you go along" and then whining about rules of the Dem party that have been in place and have worked just fine in every election cycle until ... Bernie. Hmmm.

He will do or say anything to win. I am convinced he will run as an independent. He cares nothing about he Dem party.

when I hear people claim that Bernie has no ego. Are you f'in kidding me?? The man has created a whole movement around his ego. Maybe people don't see it because they traditionally associate ego with being materialistic. Instead, BS wants to be seen as a moral purist who's above everyone else...the most self-sacrificial of martyrs. But how noble is that reputation when it doesn't actually achieve anything of note? He always claims the moral high ground, but how often has he accomplished real change? I'm so tired of his self- righteousness.

It will reveal a lot more about him and his supporters if he can't.
