2. sanders has class or he doesn't...he is so far over his head and his ego is out of control

....and now he is running from questions about jane and dodging his tax returns


he will be going out as a whipped puppy I am afraid, sulking back to vermont with his ball

[grossproffit]

5. And binkie.

[MohRokTah]

3. Yup, the sore loser is going to Nader Hillary.

I knew he could never be trusted.

[workinclasszero]

6. He paid back the democratic party's trust in him alright

I still can't believe he was allowed to run as a democratic candidate.

[MohRokTah]

7. HE needs to lose all position with the party after this is over.

If he wants committee assignments, he'll have to get them from the Republicans. Expel him from the caucus.

[MillennialDem]

15. Vindictive. Taking a page out of Scott Walker's playbook?

[MohRokTah]

17. When somebody stabs the entire party in the back, it's time to dump them.

Lieberman had revenge taken against him for his McCain bullshit, too.

[MillennialDem]

19. Calm down, he said he's going to the convention. He's not going to say "vote for Hillary" yet. If

he doesn't endorse after then you might have a case.

[MohRokTah]

24. NO! He needs to endorse no later than June 16.

Absolute last day he has, otherwise, get vindictive on his traitor ass.

[MillennialDem]

32. Sieg Heil!

27. C'mon... Senators pick who'll they'll caucus with.

not the other way around.

[Bodhi BloodWave]

10. actually he is correct

its her responsibility to bring them into the fold

he can say 'i plan to support Hillary and hope you will to' and things of a similar vein but in the end its up to Hillary to clinch the deal on winning them over to her side. After all, they are individual people not his followers, he can advice but not order

[workinclasszero]

14. The Holdouts

[SidDithers]

36. That's good...

[grossproffit]

4. Hell hath no fury like a man scorn.

[restorefreedom]

8. he is right. if she is not up to the job, she doesn't belong there as the nom

its on her to win her votes, no one else

[CrowCityDem]

9. Funny, it was the loser's responsibility in 08. Wonder why.....

Bernie is being a disingenuous jerk. He says he'll do "everything in my power" to prevent Trump, but he won't say he'll work to make sure his voters support Hillary. Hello, that means you're a LIAR. That would be a key part of "everything".

[samrock]

37. Touché

[Shadowflash]

11. How is that incorrect?

I'm not some sheep that will vote for someone just because Sanders says so. It doesn't matter what he says.

Clinton has to prove she's honest and trustworthy and put forth policy ideas I agree with to get my vote.

It IS her responsibility to convince me to vote for her.

[vintx]

12. Logic isn't their strong suit. nt

[Shadowflash]

16. No doubt!

Just because they are sheep, they assume that it's the same with everybody.

[elana i am]

20. i know right?

i was just saying this in another thread. i'm not a sycophant!

[Hydra]

39. ^This

We're the voters of policies and positions, not brand. That's their job.

[PowerToThePeople]

13. And Sanders tells more truth.

At least one of our two candidates is honest.

[MillennialDem]

18. Hillary needs to earn my vote. So far, she has not done that yet.

[notadmblnd]

21. That would be hard and HRC and her supporters don't do hard

Remember- No! We can't!

[oldandhappy]

22. Bernie people make their own choices.

Bernie has spoken loudly and clearly and firmly against Trump for months. And he has promised to campaign against Trump and he will. And it is up to clinton to decide if she wants to embrace any of the issues raised by her opponent. I doubt the senator has any power to swing his followers to the expected nominee without very strong statements from her. And even them most of us do not trust her. However, polling does show that a high percentage of the Bernie camp will follow the nominee. Party unity requires both sides get something.

[BootinUp]

23. Shorter Bernie: "Beating Trump Not That Important"

[TheBlackAdder]

25. SOMEONE'S BUSY TODAY!

[RazBerryBeret]

26. yeah...

So far Hillary and her supporters and doing a bang-up job of this. NOW is the time you expect help for all the shit you've thrown, interesting. this is gonna be a BIG job.

[Metric System]

28. Odd, it was also said in 2008 that it was Hillary's responsibility.

[larkrake]

29. He is right. She just keeps turning people off

His followers will choose her over trump, but she is what they are against- a hawk, a wall street enabler and a liar. All he can do is say "I support Hillary over Trump" he cannot tell his followers to accept her as a person with so much damning history. The Revolution is so much more important than this one election. She is the lesser of two evils. It is her job to adapt to the people and away from 3rd way. Personally, I dont think she will be honest about changes we need.

[seekthetruth]

30. How easily the real issues are forgotten.....

.....and the stupid, short sighted allegiances to the Party take over.

The Democratic Party is soon to be in shambles because they are supporting a candidate who has proven themselves untrustworthy time and time again.

It's fun to watch it happen.

[Jester Messiah]

31. Not finding much to disagree with there.

He's just telling the truth, as usual. I know that must be weird for some folks.

[Armstead]

33. You guys are funny....

Imagine asking a candidate to earn votes and support. What a ridiculous concept.

[TimPlo]

34. This post is very telling

How two groups of people are different. Hillary supporters worship and follow her because of her not her policies. Sanders people follow him because he step-ed up to lead the supporters because of their policies matched his. I have no loyalty to Sanders other than a vote based on his policies. If he tells me to vote for someone that is against my policies that will not influence my vote at all. But reading posts in here it seems that HRC supporters will support anyone if HRC says so.

[Scootaloo]

35. It is her responsibility, though

Sanders can endorse her if he likes. But if you haven't noticed? Endorsements don't actually change anyone's mind. It falls on Clinton to win people's votes. If she can't do that, then it's nobody's fault but her own.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

38. It is any candidate's repsponsibilty to convince votere to vote for them.

At least in democracies.

[KingFlorez]

40. He's not a Democrat, so this to be expected
