4. Sanders has not kept his promise this primary season
Fri May 20, 2016, 08:22 AM

He said he wouldn't run a negative campaign; he reneged on that promise.

He said he didn't care about Hillary's e-mails; has made that, plus other Republican manufactured scandals about her, part of his campaign

And now this.

I wouldn't be surprised if he decides to run third party, even though he vowed many times not to.

You can't trust the man's word.

6. I worry that the DNC will make concessions for promises he does not keep.

If the DNC gives him and his delegates more concessions for speaking and committee positions at the Democratic national convention, will he end up breaking any promises to support Hillary and Democrats in the fall general election?

You are right in saying that his word can't be trusted. It hasn't been good for much thus far.

...can't you see that because of Back Bench Bernie there is now a teabagger movement equivalent in the Democratic Party?

And Sanders screams "you're welcome!"

Yeah, THANKS!

PEACE!

8. Is it possible, in any state, for non-democrats to be chosen as delegates to attend the convention?

I sure hope not, but I don't know the rules. If non-democrats can be seated at the convention, the Trojan horse will be attending the convention. We will have independents and Republicans shouting and yelling to get their way and tear down the Democratic party. Please tell me this is not possible.

5. Bern Sanders has done nothing to further the party
Fri May 20, 2016, 08:40 AM
May 2016

At this point he is doing what republicans do, obstruct and harm the chances of winning big in November.

Each day that BS attacks Hillary Clinton is another gain for Trump. Don't let any BSer fool you to believe that he is moving Hillary left. That is total BS garbage.

7. He's not "growing" the party ...

How is that growing our party?

... the non-Democrats who vote for him in open-primaries have not joined the party, so the party hasn't grown. The "independents" and "libertarians" who TEMPORARILY change their registration before the deadline so that they can vote in the primary, will change it back afterward ... and the party hasn't grown.
