11. Why would he endorse Bernie Sanders? We keep hearing that Bernie Sanders isnt a Democrat.

Ive been accused twice, now, in the past week or so, of "not being a Democrat" (not to mention the mile-long list of other undersirable traits that come with the maligned stain of "Sanders supporter&quot because I dare to express support for Sen. Sanders in the primary process.

So I'm sure all the real Democrats here agree that Former VP Gore is, likewise, a real Democrat, so expecting him to endorse Sanders is unrealistic, not to mention he would be thrown out of the party, the way some people seem to deludedly believe they are entitled to do to folks such as myself.
