1. He refuses to say he will endorse Hill. Sanders plans to run Indy.

Nothing he says refutes that.

[RobertEarl]

2. No

He has stated he's in it to make the Democratic Party better.

No one should be in opposition to that. Except republicans.

[yourpaljoey]

3. Yes. The Dem Party will not support the will of the People.

[mythology]

15. You may want to rethink that theory

Clinton got the most pledged delegates and popular votes. That's kind of the definition of the will of the people.

[RobertEarl]

20. The will of the people is unity

Bernie is in a unique position to make it so. Who is opposed?

[Demsrule86]

22. No he is not

if he cared about unity and not about sabotaging the Democratic party he would have conceded...he looks more and more like a spiteful person who can't face that he lost. What a mistake it was to allow someone like that to run as a Democrat.

[Beacool]

33. The will of which people????

Hillary won and won by 13% of the total vote. She has a 387 pledged delegate advantage, more than triple the delegates that Obama had in 2008 and she also won 3.7M more votes than Sanders.

I think that the people have spoken and have spoken loudly.

[Demsrule86]

23. He is obviously in it to sabotage the election.

Clearly, he wants the Democratic party to lose. He is on Trump's team now.

[HERVEPA]

29. You tried this one before. You need new material.

[onehandle]

4. Of course. His delegates will be represented.

No uprising will happen.

[KoKo]

5. He will have strong representation for his Changes to Dem Pary Platform and Election

Rules and his Supporters will have their Voices Heard...

Already Bernie supporters have Permits for Demonstrations in three areas at the Philly Convention.

He is meeting with Hillary tonight. Let's see how this turns out.

[onehandle]

10. Tell me about 'at the convention.'

I think you mean behind fences outside the convention hall.

Like happens at Every convention.

[Demsrule86]

21. so exciting

Give the GOP a pass and try to sabotage the democratic convention...don't know what your movement is about but progressive it is not. You all are now on Trump's team and so is Bernie Sanders.

[Major Hogwash]

6. Isn't this what he has said all along?

So, he kept his word and is going to the convention!

Yee-haw!

[joeybee12]

7. Each day he stays in he loses more support and more support

for his platform changes...doesn't know when to bow out gracefully.

[BeyondGeography]

28. +1

[itsrobert]

8. It's over!

Bernie lost by over 3.7 million votes. He also lost the pledged delegates by yugggggggggggggge margin.

He has been soundly rejected.

[okasha]

9. There's no longer any "it" for him to be "in.'

This thing is so over.

[bigdarryl]

11. Another Ralph Nader

[bvf]

12. Nope, wrong.

Just keeping his word.

Keep wringing your hands, though. It's charming.

[Demsrule86]

18. Some of us care about important things

like the courts and actual people who would be hurt in a Trump presidency...Bernie is an also ran...who's name will not be remembered in a few years. He is irrelevant. That being said, I would not allow him to do anything at the convention ...no speech and no platform goodies...he either gets out or there is one vote and security escorts him out.

[bvf]

30. Equally charming.

Now! With more empty words!

You're amusing, you are.

Even without the ignorant syntax--amusing, still.

[AgingAmerican]

14. Nader never ran for the Democratic nomination

[Demsrule86]

19. Of course since

Sanders has not conceded...and we have a nominee as of the 16th...he is a third party candidate in a way so we will not be reading about his antics here. I am sure you all can head over to Jack Spratt or whatever that silly website is called.

[AgingAmerican]

24. Nader never ran for the Democratic nomination

No matter how much tortured logic and denial you throw at it.

[RazBerryBeret]

13. "We're going to f'ing Philly...."

makes me laugh every time....

and this has been the plan from the beginning....

[KingFlorez]

16. He needs to go home

All he is doing now is denying that he lost and that isn't going to change a thing.

[Demsrule86]

17. Well he has officially thrown his career away and ended any chance for his movement.

It is sad to see someone you once admired destroy himself.

[Renew Deal]

26. Agree

[Demsrule86]

27. It is an occupy moment which makes me sad.

[AgingAmerican]

31. Because you say so!

Your agony will persist at least until the convention!

[highprincipleswork]

32. Bernie is right on. He represents me completely, and I want him to do just what he is doing.
