The veneer of Bernie as a rare, genuine, clean politician has been wearing off. Unfortunately, though, too many got behind the Bernie "movement" and can't admit their candidate is not who they tout him to be. It seems easier to ignore anything that does not uphold his clean, good-guy image. Unfortunately the press has been complicit in this false framing.
On the other hand, Bernie seems to have gotten caught up in his own narrative, and the attention from his supporters as well as the kid-gloves press coverage seems to have gone to his head. He has become insufferable and insists on trying to put Sec. Clinton in her place--a place just as false as the narrative of Bernie as the good guy in this election process, and mostly crafted by the right-wing, yet adopted and embellished by the Bernie Sanders campaign.
