Clinton Fans in California Torch Sanders as Egotistical and Destructive

[LiberalArkie]

“Ego.” “Self-interest.” “Blinded by the spotlight.” “It's become all about him.” “Almost inciting violence.”

These are some of the words Hillary Clinton’s supporters at her rallies this week in California had for Bernie Sanders as he escalates his fight for a Democratic presidential nomination that is, mathematically, virtually out of reach for him.

The acrimony over the Vermont senator's defiance is reaching a fever pitch as Clinton, the all-but-certain nominee, tries to move on to the general election against presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, only to be painted by her competitor as a puppet of Wall Street who wouldn’t fix America’s problems.

The raw emotions show the intensity of a fight that Sanders, 74, continued while barnstorming California ahead of a June 7 primary flush with 548 delegates, over half of the Democratic delegates still on offer.

1. In other news: some Clinton fans in California are lying fuckwits.

Close ranks? Over my dead body.

3. Yup, this has become the new narrative

Clear as day. You know, I also find it funny how all of a sudden there's all these new Bernie "scandals" that are just being uncovered. Weird how they seem to pop up right before important primaries.

4. Egotistical? Yes.

Destructive? Less so than 90% of his colleagues.

5. That's been obvious for months now

It's all about him.

6. Bernie followers know better and a lot of people just don't

trust anything Hillary and her supporters say. This is not going to convince many people.

7. Some nasty writer for Mother Jones began this bilious garbage about 2 weeks ago

the more desperate they become the more personal are their attacks. What is coming in the next week? I imagine they have been holding up the "good" stuff for then.

8. Jane Sanders

A snip from Jane sticks in my mind, about how when Bernie hears the sound from the dryer that its done, he jumps up to go finish laundry. Now........can you see either Hillary or Trump doing anything close? Does that sound like a guy whose ego is out of control?
