94. If he has such low opinion of his colleagues, why soil himself by associating with their party?

It was his choice. He could have run as an independent, which he fancies himself to be.

His run is an opportunistic ploy to use the Democratic party for his personal presidential ambitions. He is not hiding this fact.

Doesn't say a lot about his ethical standards. Perhaps one more thing he shares with Trump?

BTW, decades in Congress doesn't make Bernie an outsider. So we are back to just one thing he may share with Trump.
