If Bernie isn't a "real" Dem, why does he owe Hillary any allegiance?

68. If Bernie hands the election to Trump, there should be hell to pay.

Now you know and I assume that there is no written rule. An unwritten rule in government is that no elected official speaks negatively about the United States in a public speech while overseas. An unwritten rule, but one that smart politicians do not break.

Nader handed the election to GW Bush, saying there was no difference between Bush and Gore. Democrats see the tremendous cost of Nader's actions. I support his banishment. But at least, Nader was not a member of the Democratic party.

But Bernie is.

Clinton will not destroy Bernie's career. She will ignore him. If Bernie hands the election to Trump, Congress will ignore him, as they mostly have in his 25 years in Congress. Bernie's actions will have destroyed his career. Clinton knows this.

I've never been a Bernie supporter but I've admired him for his commitment to his issues. However, lately I've lost respect for him because he knows that his platform will never be achieved but he is selling it to young voters anyway. You say that Bernie has integrity. My view is that he is conning his supporters. That's not my definition of integrity or honesty.

This morning on Meet The Press, Bernie was asked why he's lost primaries in the states where income inequality - his top issue - is the worst. His response: poor people don't vote. Bernie continues to display a lack of integrity, blaming the very people he so wants to help.

Bernie is not the Saint, and Hillary is not the Satan. They are both politicians with all the good and bad that comes with it.
