Jansing interviewing Sanders on MSNBC "Why am I running for President?"

Red as a beet, angry, continuing to attack her. Says he still is planning to try to flip the delegates, still plans to stay on the attack. Screw him. Really. If he wants his agenda items on the platform, or any meaningful place in the Senate when he returns, he needs to start pivoting now. I'm not saying get out, I'm saying get off the attacks.

He's talking point of national polling against trump, I just wish she would say Hillary beats trump handily in these polls as well.
I guess it's not sinking in how far behind he is in reality!

with all of their great ideas, the voter doesn't seem to matter...

And it starts with Bernie.

over here, I gotta say. At least for me. Oh well. In the end it won't matter. She is the nominee, and the GE, followed by the inauguration, is going to be AWESOME.

Without the false hope that he will be the nominee, Sanders is going to have a harder time raising money

But he never seemed mean spirited. Sanders needs to take a chill pill before he pops a blood vessel.

Absolutely no one. Hell, Barack Obama was elected and did what he wanted to do/said he would during the campaign.

Hillary is going to get elected and do what she thinks is best.

No President is going to be held down by a platform and no voter is going to hold it against them.

Hell, the platform is usually just used by the opposing party to attack.

Wasn't he taking a more conciliatory tone last night?

I seem to remember reading that they were going to change their tone and that they admittedly didn't really have a path to victory. Is he really going to do this again? Maybe he really has lost control of his campaign. It sounds like he says one thing and then someone convinces him that he should get angry and fight back, so he changes his mind again.

Is Tim Robbins swooping in every so often to give him crazy pep talks?

He seems weak, tired, hurt, angry and nearly incoherent. I'm worried after his health because he is looking AWFUL.

But seriously, he is not doing himself any favors at this point. He'll get tossed out on his ass if he doesn't dial it back soon.
