"Democrats are responsible for disastrous policies"

or something to that effect?

Has a Democratic presidential candidate ever dissed his own party?

Thank you, Sanders, for providing the soundbites the Trump campaign will need to win the GE. Good work!

Democrat. He wants the party machine to work for him, he wants the party money to spend. But he is no Democrat. He shouldn't have been allowed in as a candidate in our party.

has loyalty only to himself. In my opinion, Sanders is an ideologue and along with many of his supporters want nothing more than to destroy the Democratic Party. They will, given the chance, remake it into a failed, semi socialist party that will no longer have any national standing. I just wonder how long it will take for him to go back to "independent socialist" and dump the Democrat designation after the nominating process is over.

He is a Democrat for convenience only. That has always been my problem with him. He has bashed good people from the President down and when someone does that continuously, you have to question their motives. He votes and caucuses with the Democrats, because the Republican's wouldn't even pay attention to him.
