The one emotion that is getting through is relief that we dodged having him as the candidate.

with our Dems to get a vote on banning assault rifles.

Here's a Tweet for you from Al G..

Al Giordano ‎@AlGiordano
US Senator salary: $174,000. Budget for hiring staff: $3 million +. But he's doing a podcast instead of legislating. https://twitter.com/oldladydem/status/743504505505976320

Rural Vermont constituents like their guns, and Bernie has pointed out he lost an election over this before.

I'm for anyone who caucuses with the Democrats in the Senate to do what they got to do.

We know his heart is in the right place - though he won't concede that to others too much.
