Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumLUPICA: Bernie Sanders keeps fighting as if Hillary Clinton’s big lead is a huge lie
The longer Bernie Sanders stays in the race against Hillary Clinton, and the more he is carried along by the roar of his crowds, were clearly supposed to buy certain items wholesale from him, starting with the big one: Hes apparently the only honest politician left in America.
...
Only none of these things happen to be true, no matter how many times, and how earnestly, Sanders says them. By the way? Did Sanders not know the rules of engagement before he got into the thing? He acts now as if they changed the rules on him in the middle of the game, or as soon as he started to draw crowds that have rivaled Trumps, and win some primaries and caucuses. He acts as if hes beating Clinton like a drum even though shes gotten 2.9 million more votes than he has, at least according to the Washington Post.
...
But when Stephanopoulos comes back at him and asks if he is describing Clinton vs. Trump as the lesser of two evils, giving Sanders the chance to say that is exactly what he meant, he says this instead: I wouldnt describe it, but thats what the American people are saying. This from the guy who fancies himself the heavyweight championship standup guy of the world.
...
So he will stay in this race until the middle of June, sticking to his story that hes not hurting Clinton or hurting her chances against Trump by doing that, which happens to be thinking made out of moonbeams. Is he kidding? It has already reached the point where Trump quoting Bernie on Hillary Clinton or talking about how Bernie says she lacks judgment is just one more part of the campaign that should be a drinking game.

(10,014 posts)Even though Hillary's lead was way ahead of where Sanders is now.
But he should promote his ideas and not continue to bad mouth Hillary and the Democratic Party.
Sanders doesn't seem to understand that his attacks are damaging his own reputation. He's a DINO for sure.

I didn't believe it when it was reported that he told the DNC he would make sure trump wasn't elected.
sanders and some fans are living in fantasy land and the rest of us have an election to win for Hillary.

(15,445 posts)dignity and credibility is fast narrowing.
Even the slippery Bern can't turn on a dime.
How does he expect to continue dragging Hillary through the mire right up to the convention, and then instantly pivot into her corner?

(13,769 posts)...Bernie believes he's the only politician left in America, but it's clear a whole host of his supporters do. That's the thing that really gets to me.
