The façade will begin to fall away, as the candidate who was treated with kid gloves by the media is suddenly exposed for the debt-ridden, lying fraud he has been this entire campaign.
As bad as the financial reports will be, they won't be nearly as bad as the circus of Sanders insiders who will be rushing to the nearest reporter to put their spin on why the campaign failed. Look for many, many "the fish rots from the head down" stories to emerge, putting the blame squarely on the shoulders of Bernie and Jane, who will be characterized as bull-headed, unable-to-take-advice-from-the-advisors-they're-paying types. It happens every time, as the political handlers seek to insulate themselves from the negative publicity that always attends to a losing campaign, all in an effort to keep themselves viable as political advisors for the next sucker who comes along.

He will not be asked any more about his tax returns, or Jane's destruction of Burlington College, or the Pope Debacle, or anything that even remotely resembles the vetting he should have received but never did. They're going to give him a bunch of fawning press coverage, and continue to make out like he's going to the convention with all this "momentum" and "influence" when really he's not, because the media believes it will create a "challenge" for the Democratic Party to deal with. After all, Trump's candidacy is already flailing and failing, and so the General Election is shaping up to be "What handful of states will Trump manage to keep red on his way to a landslide loss of historic proportion?"
The media needs its narrative, after all, and as the very existence of the Bernie Sanders campaign proved, if they can't find one, they'll create one.

(30,058 posts)Required number of delegates was 2383 and would be a combination of super delegates and pledged delegates. Also not all ofthe complaining about evry time he lost a primary. Also when it became obvious Sanders was not going to win to stop proviring RW talking points to Trump. Now is the time for uniting the party and explaining why being united is important to defeat Trump.
