I'd bet he didn't want to be president. He also saw that the deck was stacked.

Sounds about right to me.

Quite possibly true and why he had second thoughts when he saw Hillary floundering in her campaign. What about the person who designed the H--> logo? He should be the first one to take the fall.

Outcomes matter not emotion.

Hillary flawed? Of course. So is the electorate. If people who supported Sanders were so dense as to not vote for Hillary on 8 November then whatever Trump does to them is their own fault.

I am proud to be a Hillarybot. That shine will fade from Sanders as Trump threatens our democracy.
Seems like this story from Time struck a nerve amongst the Berners. I wonder why?

HRC lost because Trump was a stronger candidate, she was weaker and flawed. Sanders never running at all the result would still be the same. This was a year of change and she was old news.

The Dems have a messaging problem, tried to hard to be Republican lite not progressive. Thought they could pull in Republican voters that way. Guessed wrong again. Time for new ideas and young blood to infuse the party.

After losing in New York he should have toned it down.


If this was a normal person about to take over it would not be a big deal.


I voted for Hillary in 2008 but also voted for Obama that year. I would have voted for Sanders if he would have won the nomination.

Sorry no. The ones that considered Hillary to be the best and most qualified candidate are robots and this election proved them to be idiots. $975M raised only to lose the WH, House and the Senate.

The only nerve it struck is how corrupt and ineffective the Democratic Party has become, thanks to Bernie.

Hell he shouldn't have run at all.

After all, it was her turn to be President.
