Chris Cillizza: Bernie Sanders still doesnt know what the Democratic party stands for

24. I wish he was optimistic and postive. More like Keith. #BeLikeKeith

Is this his idea of "outreach" and getting people interested in our party? I wonder if he's the best person for that position. Could someone else do it better? Is his heart really in the mission of the "Outreach" objectives?

By way of an analogy, I think he prefers being the "Home Contractor Guy" ... he likes the Demolition/Repairs/Remodeling aspect. Unfortunately, Bernie appears to be not so keen on being the "Real Estate Agent" whose job is to attract interest and promote the party by putting things in an positive and optimistic way.

Yeah, I get that Bernie's "not happy" (as mentioned in the OP) ... sure, he can feel that way. Everyone's entitled to their own opinion about the Democratic Party. But with his obvious sour attitude about Democrats, is he REALLY the best person to be out there selling and promoting the party in the role of being our "Outreach" ambassador?

The "Outreach" job (Selling) seems to conflict with the thing he enjoys doing most (Demolition and Repairs). In my opinion, he's definitely the most passionate about "Remodeling" and he lacks enthusiasm about "Promoting"... seems like that often takes a back seat in his priorities.

Personally, I think it's not Bernie's fault. He was just tasked with too much. I don't think it's realistic to expect that ANY person could do be successful at doing both things simultaneously.

It's pretty clear to me that greater success would be found by doing one OR the other, but not both.

Hello, Alerter! These are my opinions about whether Bernie is the best person for the party's "Outreach" mission. My personal belief and opinion that Bernie isn't the best person for the job is not an attack or smear. My personal belief that our party needs someone who's dedicated exclusively to the "Outreach" mission... with fewer distractions and conflicts... is not against the rules.
