In reply to the discussion: Dems to Sanders: 'Stand down' [View all]randome
(34,845 posts)45. Giving great speeches does not equate to building teams with other legislators.
That's the teamwork that's necessary. When your own co-workers don't endorse you, why would you think you can be their leader? I never understood the appeal of Sanders because he swooped in at the last minute into the Democratic Party and expected everyone to be in awe of him.
He says some great things but lots of legislators say great things. The ones that get support are those who shake hands and build teams. Like Clinton.

It remains to be seen whether his efforts bore fruit. I sincerely hope they do.

A concession speech would be nice but him just going away would work for me too.

Give Senator Sanders some space. He will take the appropriate action. He will not walk out on

11 million supporters, run along now. Voters under the age of 45, the Dems want you to go away now.
