(27,835 posts)The Dems should take advice from the non-Democrat on how to run their party - the party Bernie ONLY briefly signed-onto when it served his own political goals.
That would be the same Bernie "Mr. Transparency" Sanders who couldn't cough up his complete tax returns - and then blamed it on his wife - when he could have phoned the IRS and had those returns in-hand within hours?
That would be the same Bernie who only ran on the Dem ticket because, as he himself said, it was the only way he could get media attention?
That would be the same Bernie who once said: "It would be hypocritical of me to run as a Democrat because of the things I have said about the party," and then went on to run for that party, regardless of the hypocrisy, when it suited his personal agenda?
THAT Bernie Sanders?
The only lesson to be learned here is that non-Democrats should never be permitted to run as Democrats. And heeding their sage advice AFTER they've lost the nomination of that party - by a huge amount of votes - seems more than counter-productive. It seems downright insane.
