81. What do you expect a United States Senator to do?

Sit in the corner and pout for four years? Bernie has said he'll work with Trump on good policy (like protecting SS and Medicare), and fight him on bad policy (like climate change "hoax" nonsense). If DU thinks Bernie will act like Republicans acted against Obama, they're in for a rude awakening.
