WHCD was not what Bernie was looking for..

Everyone there made it clear to him that Hillary Clinton was the presumptive nominee inc the President! What does he do? He holds a surprise press conference to spout a contested convention..

If so, he's got several hangers-on who seem to be urging him to keep that cash cow going, not for the interests of party or country, but pure old selfish greed. In that case, Bernie would be very vulnerable to arse kissing, flat out lying and self-serving flattery toward him. I have seen this kind of greedy manipulation first hand.

I first found him peculiar when he voted against IM EX bank. No one, not Warren, Not any Dems voted against it. That is when I took a hard look at him.

So sad that Hillary supporters continue to lie--Senator Sanders wrote. introduced the bill "Too Big To Fail. Too Big To Exist." You do realize that the NY Times, Robert Reich, Rolling Stone, Bill Moyers, HP etc. has exposed the false narrative. Suggest you watch & be more informed http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017350819
