DAILY KOS: "SANDERS RETURNS TO WASHINGTON MORE POWERFUL THAN EVER".....

[zonkers]

"Bernie Sanders may have lost the Democratic primary contest for president (yes, it’s over, even if he hasn’t formally conceded), but his campaign looks to be a win-win for his career in the Senate, where he returned Monday night.

Voting for the first time since January—on a series of gun regulation proposals—the Vermont Independent attracted a crowd on the Senate floor, with colleagues from both sides of the aisle approaching his desk to give him a handshake or a pat on the back. “Welcome back, Bernie!” Arizona Republican John McCain, himself a vanquished presidential candidate, told his colleague, after the two shared a hearty embrace......"

1. Wait until after November and see what happens if Bernie isn't a team player.

[Chasstev365]

2. Would you please just give it a rest?

[tonyt53]

5. I didn't deride Sanders, just stated an obvious fact.

[Scootaloo]

7. You stated no facts. You made a baseless insinuation.

Take it somewhere else.

[floriduck]

8. You are making a prediction. That is not a fact. Look it up.

[Exilednight]

3. The primary is over. In the good faith of Skinner, please

Do not demean those that are on our side.

11. Good grief

I have rarely seen an individual spend so much time posting negatively about anyone in my life.

Congrats.

A simple search of your posting here is a true gold mine of contempt for a well-liked public servant. If you are in fact the age you list in your profile and have been a lifelong Democrat, I feel badly at how jaded and bitter you have become.

We get it. You don't like Bernie. Why not take your own advice and start working towards winning the GE instead of tearing down others.

12. When he hasn't he been? Smh

Bernie has the highest approval ratings of every senator in the Senate.

His constituents love him.

14. You comment seems intended to disparage a Democratic Presidential Candidate

making ugly insinuations without any facts to back it up.

You do realize that is a violation of the new TOS, right?

It's almost as if you don't want party unity.

16. Being the most loved Senator in the country, he'll do fine.

But not to worry, he will be a team player. Already supporting Feingold in Wisconsin.

4. Popular and powerful aren't necessarily the same thing.

It remains to be seen if it will translate into more political clout in Congress.

[tonyt53]

6. Bingo

[AgingAmerican]

9. Congress needs to be replaced

Period

[TwilightZone]

10. Only about 55% of it.

Or are you in the "both sides are bad" camp?

[AgingAmerican]

15. Im in the "get rid of right wingers in congress" camp

regardless of which side they are on

[NurseJackie]

13. This analysis is very much in line with my thinking as well.
