For all his fiery rhetoric, Sanders isn't known in the Senate as a legislative wonk who passes a large volume liberal legislation. The lack of clarity around his bill to break up the banks is likely why it has not yet attracted any cosponsors in the Senate.

It is to me the single best point to use on Bernie's gang. That is if they actually listened.
