Is there anything positive coming out of Sanders' campaign these days?

13. Nope.

In fact, I haven't heard anything positive come out of Bernie's campaign pretty much since the beginning.

He started by rattling off the same laundry list of complaints about what's wrong with the country that he's been trotting out for 30+ years. When asked about solutions to those problems, his only response has been promising things he knows for a fact he can't deliver.

The Mr. Nice Guy mask came off early on. Being positive and upbeat is a role too far afield from his true nature, and it was obvious that he wouldn't be able to maintain that persona for very long.

I remember reading the accolades from early supporters, e.g. he's such a nice man, so sincere, so honest, so pleasant; he just wants what is best for everyone. We'll never know, but I wonder how many supporters who voted for him in the earliest primaries would vote for him now that he's shown his true nature - a crabby, egotistical, self-serving, chronic complainer who has nothing positive to say about anyone or anything.

It's just anecdotal evidence, but I personally know quite a few people who completely turned off Bernie when he went negative on HRC. They felt that (a) they'd been betrayed by the "nice old guy who wasn't going to run a negative campaign" and then did, and (b) if he had something positive to bring to the table, going negative would not have been necessary.

Needless to say, the behaviour of many Bernie supporters, on-line and in RL, was the last straw for many who once saw BS as being the exact opposite of what that behaviour demonstrated.

"He's not even willing to say that he will work for the common good when he finally admits he's lost."

And there you have it - undeniable proof that "the common good" was never important to Bernie. The only thing that's important to Bernie is himself, his own ego, and the desperate need to cling to the spotlight he's convinced himself he somehow actually deserves.
