2. Bad judgement by Sanders, I wish there would be members who does not hate the DNC.

Robert Reich would have been a much better choice. We do have Elijah Cummings who will chair the committee, he has performed like the Master he is. After Sanders was warned about taking West into NC it would seem a lesson would have been learned. We want progress for the US, not a revolutionary.
