Jun 2016

Since joining the Democratic Party one year ago, he has devoted Side B of his broken record (Side A being Billionaires, Millionaires, Oligarchy) to attacking the party and its rules when those same rules began to disadvantage him. Since stating at the White House a couple of weeks ago that he was going to do everything in his power to defeat Trump, he has, contrary to those words, publicly nursed grudges against our presumptive nominee, insinuated that he wants to disrupt the convention in some way, and kept his supporters still in thrall to his Fairy-Land thinking about a path to victory by not conceding.

Sanders cannot be trusted.
