Bernie is on MSNBC right now, he isn't leaving,

It is the same stuff different day. He wants "substantive changes to the Democratic Party" . My guess is his ego won't let him leave and show support. He is going to have to take a beating at the convention and then he will file suit. What a mess.

...No, really, Bernie. Keep right on going.

I cannot fathom what he's doing, he's losing supporters every day he keeps this up, his popularity is diluting, and he was never more powerful than he was about a week before California.

At this point, he's rapidly turning into a has-been with a bad attitude. And nobody likes those.

He saw the Orlando tragedy as a way to hijack the microphone to make a stump speech.

He has no intention of cooperating. He has made himself into the incredible shrinking candidate.

He is actually helping Hillary by making her look more and more presidential, by contrast.

The immaturity of Trump is helping Hillary in a similar way.

Hillary is the only adult presidential candidate.

No. He promptly switched his allegiance to Jill Stein saying we need a 'real woman' in the White House. This despite being a staunch Obama supporter, including in 2012 when Dr. Stein ran the first time.

These brocialists and macktivists couldn't be more transparent. Go back to the Mad Men era where you belong.

He isn't going to stop now. His fundamental resentment goes deeper than winning or losing a primary.

He has become too attached to his anger to let go of it. He wants to destroy the Democratic party and then recreate it in his own image.

He is being consumed by his own rage. I do not think that anyone, including President Obama and Secretary Clinton, will be able to talk him out of his self-destructive mission to destroy the Democratic party.

He doesn't seem to have objective close friends, who are concerned about his "obsessive" behavior and might be able to reason with him. I also see no inclination on the part of his wife Jane to intervene to end Bernie's self-contradictory "vendetta."

It seems that neither he nor anyone close to him sees the futility of his continuing to throw punches after the fight has been called in his opponent's favor.

Sanders is now looking like the fool he is

The majority of DEMOCRATS voted for Hillary. She won the most pledged delegates, the most votes, and the most primaries.

That majority of Democrats DIDN'T VOTE FOR HIM, AND SURE DIDN'T MAKE HIM KING, and there is no f**king way he is going to DEMAND substantive changes that will honored.

What an arrogant ass

Tue Jun 14, 2016, 07:05 PM

I don't think he will be the one to talk Bernie out of his present fixation however. Devine will simply and quietly make his exit from the campaign and look for employment elsewhere. He will let Bernie collapse, and then Devine will talk to journalists and insist that Bernie made all the bad decisions. That unfavorable Politico article could very well have been written by Devine himself.

But if I were to behave as Bernie has been behaving lately, my friends and relatives would take me aside and advise me to calm down and face reality. They might even steer me toward professional counseling. But they would love me too much to stand by idly while I persisted in such a personally destructive and career-ending pattern of behavior.

to make me believe he could work with Congress to accomplish anything. He'd be an obstructionist in the White House the same way the GOP is in the House and Senate, and it would destroy the reputation of Democrats in the eyes of Americans for truly being "just as bad as Republicans."

Jeez, everything about that campaign boils down to projection, doesn't it?
