Bernie still sees himself as a 60's revolutionary

3. Sanders doesn't live in a little place I like to call Reality.

And this is a perfect summation of what appears to be driving him. It's his last best chance to relive his "radical" youth, after his 3-decade career of mediocrity.

I don't see why the Democratic Party or America should have to pay the price for one ineffectual hippie from an 96%-white state to replay the "good old days." Especially since his good old days were so not-good for minorities and women.

Bernie wants to make Democrats the party of the "white working class" at the expense of all of it's other major constituencies. Fortunately, the other constituencies have been strong enough, and smart enough, to tell him "NO!"
