Sanders Backs Out of Interview After Failing to Dictate Conditions

So many Pavlovian respondents here that paint this Strawman (or Strawpeople) of those that were more attracted to the more progressive platform and ideas that Bernie has and is championing, are in some kind of one-man cult, and so they, along with any 'smart ideas' they may have gotten from Sanders, are to be marginalized.

No matter how many times one pounds it into their heads that it was Bernie's principles, his ideals, taken from long standing Democratic party ideals, that we, or speaking for myself, that I, was attracted to.

Objectively, a disheveled, grumpy old man, would not typically be the candidate that one would choose as the epitome of a political cult leader. It was always more about his platform. And his history of unwavering principles gave this person the authority to speak for them.

I would love a new younger energized candidate to emerge that holds the same progressive principles based on traditional Democratic party ideals, to step forward instead of Sanders, for 2020. But for now, he is saying all the right things that I wish more Democrats would be saying. Is it that difficult to simply accept the help in the fight against Trump from an ally, even if he doesn't wear the D? Its exasperating.
