Convention his lasting impression will not be a kind gentle person who only wants to help the poor but one who likes to create wars.

Bernie has a reputation of being a "my way or the highway" type of person. I very much doubt if he allows his staff to send a letter to the DNC without his knowledge and okay. He's the one constantly criticizing the Democratic party, saying the entire process is "rigged." (Oops! Now he says he never ever said "rigged" and never ever would. NOW he says it's "dumb.&quot

...the lied about endorsements, hacked data, falsely claimed union membership and cheap, stupid & pointless campaign stunts like the Vatican "invitation"/ambush and the Back Bench Bernie/Donald Rump"debate!".

Unfortunately for Sanders, there is very little upon which to build a legacy after a quarter of a century of polishing the Congressional back bench with his wrinkled and crusty old ass!

PEACE!

his grass roots revolution.

Aloha, MJ~

with open arms.

just like he did here at DU.

Won't be long now.

Let him go ask his pal Reince Priebus for concessions.

Free and he gets more coverage and he gets to feel POWERFUL!

Cheap ways to generate headlines and attention that he can't otherwise attract as The Biggest Loser.

He thought he was so clever! Was going to go to that debate all important and presidential! Was going to speak about it at interviews for the next 2 weeks! Everyone saying Wow, what's going to happen! This is unprecedented! BS wow! with Trump! My god what's gonna be! BS was going to eat it all up! The best 2 weeks of his life!


Hmmm!

loving this. Huge crowds of mostly naive kids chanting his name. He's criticizing the Establishment and reliving his twenties.

We need a mature person for President who talks about the future. That's why I'm with her!

Not looking for Ratings! But votes and working, really working! Working and working things out!

apparently, get their jollies from standing in front of podiums in front of HUUUUUGE crowds of adoring fans.

does make him feel powerful. dah!

And an ineffectual one at that.

listen to him on Thom Hartmann. But both went off the deep edge

I really liked the passion he had for fighting income inequality, single payer, wanting to find ways to regulate banks so taxpayers aren't Wall Street's whipping boy. I loved his civil discourse speech at Liberty University.
Then I started reading his bio and articles about how difficult he is to negotiate with and my opinion started turning.
I posted something on another Liberal site to the effect of "I really like Bernie but what are his plans to support his ideas? " and was swarmed by Berniebros calling me a Shill for Hillary and a troll for the DNC.

His campaign turned to mud slinging, false accusations of rigging elections, and now to making demands from the very people who welcomed him in and allowed him to use their infrastructure. He has turned out to be the very opposite of everything he claimed to stand for at the beginning of his campaign.
He is the poster child for why Dems prudently gave SDs the power they have.

Super delegates are like spring brakes on an 18 wheeler...you hope you never need them...it's going to be hairy if they have to engage...but if you're hurtling down the highway with 50,000 pounds behind you it's essential that you have some way to stop before you go over that cliff.

...now he's successfully shredded any respect most Americans had for him.

His campaign has become a mockery - from "the rigged system" to the "we don't have to play by the rules" to the "we want to write the rules", etc., etc., etc.

He found out how far was too far.

His integrity is severely in question.
