(18,113 posts)Making excuses as to why he could not build those coalitions in his small state should be asked of him every time he talks about it. There really is no excuse as to why he couldn't advocate his fellow statesmen/women to join his cause. Just passively saying he couldn't get the votes doesn't say anything at all. In fact, the governor provides an explanation, calling single payer "burdensome". I guess that means expensive. Bernie should be talking about that. He should know the issue back and forth and why each politician in his state rejected it, and he should share that with people.
Makes you wonder why Rendon in California is being threatened with a recall, but none of Sanders' supporters question why Bernie has not come through in his own state. Why aren't Vermont politicians being threatened over this like California is???'
