How many times does Bernie Sanders have to get caught cheating before we admit there’s a problem?

When the Bernie Sanders campaign improperly accessed Hillary Clinton’s private data last month, we all gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed it was an isolated incident. After all, Bernie Sanders has been Mr. Integrity for decades. But since that time, he and his campaign have been caught doing one dishonest thing after another. And now two prominent liberal groups have each accused Bernie of cheating in the past two days alone. We must now admit that his campaign has gone off the rails, and that the democrats have a crisis at hand.

On their own, they each could be written off as mere happenstance. But put them together, in light of the data breach no less, and it starts to spell out a pattern. Throw in Bernie’s dishonest lawsuit against the DNC to try to turn his own scandal into a phony conspiracy so he could fundraise on it, his sudden attacks on Bill Clinton, his comparison of Hillary Clinton to Dick Cheney, and his verbal attack on Planned Parenthood simply because it failed to endorse him, and suddenly we realized the past month has amounted to an undeniable pattern of dishonesty and outright cheating on the part of Bernie Sanders. So what now?

Their own worst enemy.

for its mastery of social media.

If DU is an example of that mastery I don't see any of that hopeful inspirational idealism. Just a relentless attack machine to vilify and silence other opinion.

For example - if the Hillary campaign had been caught stealing data?

Difficult to tell the difference these days, though.

surprising because of the impossibly high bar they set for everyone else.
