That is what bothers me. We've all seen other candidates put their foot down quickly and decisively. Every campaign ends up losing key people. I don't want to believe he agrees with them, but not having control over his staff is almost as bad. If Sanders were to become president, would he take these people with him to the White House? And would he not fire them if they behaved like this?
I honestly believe that he doesn't know how to run a campaign. He's good at giving speeches at his rallies, but organization may not be his strong suit. Running a congressional or senatorial campaign in Vermont is probably much different than a national presidential campaign.
