"not Democrat", he has no particular loyalty to the party or the process. I watched Rachel Maddow tonight (something I never do anymore), but at the end of the show she mentioned that BS now wants to take advantage of the very insider tricks that he & MoveOn were against. Hell, they even had a petition with a couple thousand signatures to banish super delegates all together.

I don't get why BS & crew think the Democratic party, of which he is not a member, should bend over backwards to accommodate his candidacy. Who the f**k does that? If the rules committee starts making changes for BS, I hope they abolish caucuses at the same time.
