Sanders. It is very clear in this interview that he has completely sold out his principles and is now just staying in the race for his own personal gain, which one can only imagine is that addicting sense of celebrity. Saying that he doesn't care, indicates to all loyal Democrats that he doesn't care about party unity, and therefor doesn't care about the party at all. He is what we have feared all along, an independent who just jumped on the Democratic bandwagon to gain advantage, but had no intention of working with the party to win in November.

No snark.

We see it differently. Many of us are in agreement that Party Unity is meaningless if we are unifying behind a platform that causes us to settle and/or abandon principles we are passionate about. (and please do not interpret that I/we do not care about your principles, but they are clearly different) Your interpretation of Sanders as self-serving and seeking celebrity is antithetical to what we are seeing. We are seeing someone who cares enough about us in the middle class that he will not submit to exterior pressures in the face of daunting odds.

YMMV

That was the entire premise of her statement/question, then she has the nerve to say she wasn't. We are now living in bizarro land.
