I bet that call with president Obama was really pleasant.
I expect an angry speech from him tonight.

If your heart isn't in the right place this is what happens. Always maintained sanders is his own worst enemy.

(28,781 posts)Probably explains why Obama and Biden, among others, decided that this had gone on long enough.

(11,341 posts)they had to decide that Bernie was willing to burn down the house to spite everyone else if he didn't get his way

(53,444 posts)It looks like he wants a lot of control of the DNC. They are making too many demands.
I don't agree with Debbie Wasserman Schultz but under no circumstance should she step down. She should stay until her term is over. And absolutely no way should Tulsi Gabbard be the convention chair. Hillary as the presumptive nominee should determine that position. Not the loser.
Jeff Weaver, Mark Longabaugh, and Tadd Devine as far as I am concerned should be banned from access ever having access to the VAN.

I dont know who advised him that this was the right route to take, but we are now actively destroying what Bernie worked so hard to build over the last year just to pick up two fucking delegates in a state he lost, rapid response director Mike Casca complained to Weaver in an internal campaign email obtained by POLITICO.
What he got was left wing pundits turning against him and no "fucking" delegates.
Bitter berni.. will be left in the dust..
"Every time Sanders got into a knife fight, aides say, they ended up losing. But they could never stop Sanders when he got his back up."
Word got back to Reids team that Weaver had nixed the idea, ruling out backing anyone who hadnt endorsed Sanders. Weaver says its because the Senate hopefuls had to get in line for Sanders support behind top backers like Gabbard and Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.)though neither has a competitive race this year.
Sanders never followed up himself
One Loser decision after another.
Thanks for this, geek.. I'm sure there will be more desconstruciing of what went wrong with the BS campaign.
We were all right there to see it.
