(30,481 posts)8. It was a truly foolish move for Sanders to fire back at Frank.
It was flat out stupid for Sanders to try to have him removed from the rules committee. Sanders has gone so far off message. He has attacked so many of his closest political friends. Sanders doesn't seem to understand the concept of political alliances in any way.
