In reply to the discussion: Superdelegate Spreadheets!!!!!!???????? [View all]Koinos
(2,792 posts)42. Sanders just doesn't get it.
Many of his Senate colleagues simply do not like him and find him very hard to work with. He is not a team player. The only Senate superdelegate who supports Sanders is Sanders.
He has had thirty years to bond with Democrats, and he has chosen instead to vilify them. And now he expects their support?
Politics is all about "playing well with others," compromise, negotiation, diplomacy, and cooperation.
Down-ticket Democratic candidates can't even count on Sanders' fundraising support.
Sanders is simply reaping what he has sown.

Organized harassment and stalking, is what that is. Completely over-the-line, basically.

Yep! It is intended to keep the likes of Ralph Nader or George Wallace out.

I found it! Sanders supporters' courtship of Clinton superdelegates may be backfiring

Maybe this effort should be placed on Sanders and encourage him to work with others in Congress
