Bernie Sanders: I see areas where I can work with Trump

116. It will be interesting to see if the Sanders people will put in the hard work to be active

I was not impressed with the Sanders delegates at either the Texas Democratic Convention or the National Convention. It takes hard work and the ability to get along with people to make a difference in a political party. The Sanders delegates at the National convention lacked these qualities.

As for your article, it may take a couple of cycles to change the California party http://www.pe.com/articles/party-822920-state-democratic.html

It’s not clear how many of the 1,100 state delegate seats up for grabs were won by progressives. But liberals statewide say their slates dominated in elections held in each of California’s 80 Assembly districts Jan. 7 and 8.

The district-level delegates – each district elects seven men and seven women – receive two-year terms and make up a third of the 3,200 or so delegates to the state party’s governing body, the Democratic State Central Committee. The other two-thirds come from central committees in California’s 58 counties or are appointed by Democratic elected officials and nominees.

Delegates from all categories will gather in Sacramento at the state party convention in May to choose party officers. They also approve the party platform in even-numbered years, as well as official party endorsements of candidates, as needed.

The party enjoys far more power in California than in Washington, D.C., or in many states. Democrats make up a plurality of the state’s registered voters and hold all statewide elected posts, a supermajority in the Legislature, 39 of the state’s 53 House seats and both of its U.S. Senate seats.

I will be curious to see if the Sanders delegates will be willing to put in the hard work to get control. Again, I was not impressed with the Sanders delegates at either the Texas State Democratic or National Convention. One of the Sanders delegates at the national convention could not control himself and was shouting obscenities at random people until he was finally removed.
