Bernie Sanders Has Worn Out His Welcome in the Democratic Party [View all]

http://hinterlandgazette.com/2016/05/bernie-sanders-worn-welcome-democratic-party-leave-stage.html


Bernie Sanders has worn out his welcome in the Democratic Party with the endless and childish temper tantrums.


In fact, I thought he hit a new low by pushing to debate Donald Trump, but he sunk lower than that when he demanded that Barney Frank and Dan Malloy be unseated from key committees in the Democratic National Committee because they have been critical of him in the past.

Um, really? So, Bernie wants to suppress their right to free speech and to back the candidate they think will be the best person to represent the party?

Legal counsel for the Sanders campaign (another person who’s living high off those $27 donations) said in a letter to Jim Roosevelt and Lorraine Miller, co-chairs of the Rules and Bylaws Committee, “Gov. Malloy and Mr. Frank have both been aggressive attack surrogates for the Clinton campaign.”

“Their criticisms of Senator Sanders have gone beyond the dispassionate ideological disagreement and have exposed a deeper professional, political and personal hostility toward the Senator and his Campaign,” he wrote. “The chairs therefore cannot be relied upon to perform their convention duties fairly and capably while laboring under such deeply held bias.”

Yes, I would be hostile towards someone like Sanders too because he is hellbent on blowing up the Democratic Party on his way out and handing Donald Trump the presidency. It’s okay for his supporters to crucify Hillary Clinton, He’s trying to claim more power and it’s laughable because he’s the LOSER, by a wide margin.

Let’s see, Cornel West, one of his backers, has said some pretty ugly things about President Obama and Hillary Clinton, but you don’t see her calling for his removal. It’s interesting that Sanders would attack the first openly gay U.S. lawmaker and AIDS activist. Both Frank and Malloy have done more for the party and its cause than Sanders has ever done during his 25 years plus in the House and Senate. I’m with Paul Krugman on this one…it’s take a lot of nerve for Bernie to point fingers.


Um, so that’s it? He’s upset because they are slamming him for his positions on gun control and immigration, and backing Hillary Clinton. What if the shoe was on the other foot? I will admit, I have never been a fan of Bernie Sanders, but I was willing to listen to what he had to say. At this juncture the constant barrage of whining, temper tantrums and complaints is just sickening. He has worn out his welcome ...Democratic Party. Rational people will vote for Hillary Clinton. No-one needs to wave a white flag just he please the loser. June 7 can’t come fast enough when Bernie will fade into oblivion. We all know he literally torched his legacy and will be isolated by Democrats when he returns to the Senate.
