As just heard on Rachel -- more DNC concessions to BS? [View all]

To 'keep him in the tent'? Possibly seats on a platform committee...

(Let's see, $12 vs. $15/hr minimum wage, so they'll say $13.50?? Is this a sticking point?!?)

He's not in the tent. He didn't want to be to begin with. He's still wielding influence, getting in the way of what he says he champions, and apparently he isn't going to endorse Clinton with the same graciousness she endorsed Obama, and therefore can have a tantrum if the DNC doesn't pacify him.

Never EVER thought I could think so little of Sen. Sanders.
