Sanders just-broadcasted exclusive interview on MSNBC.

In an interview with Chris Jansen:

He will work to try to convince the super delegates that he is the better candidate.

His one victory last night was Rhode Island and was proof that in open primaries he beats Clinton.

He is more electable than Clinton because all the polls say that.

He is not hurting Clinton in continuing the campaign. Then he lists Hillary's 'false charges' against him.

Talked about Clinton voting for the Iraq war, the TPP vote, Hillary's vote for fracking, etc. etc.

"There is a narrow path to victory" and he'll work as hard as he can to get the nomination.

But says he will work hard to be sure that the Republican nominee is not elected president.

Sounds like things won't change much.

He seems to be Crimea River-ing all over the place. Time for the media to take the mic away--he is bernt toast and they are all complicit in his destructive denial at this point. I guess as long as no-one says the actual words, "Hillary Clinton will be the Democrat nominee" it ain't so--right? Must be a game to see who says it first or something. Are they all in the bag for the Republicans?

Very combative with Clinton in one moment, "and the Republicans will attack her on many things that I have not" and later he says he'll work very hard, even if he is not the nominee, to be sure that the Republican nominee is defeated.

Bernie's having a really hard time with his present position in the campaign. And a guy whose baseline personality is grumpy grouch.

Without the rather sad and false hope that he will be the nominee, it will difficult for Sanders to maintain the same level of fundraising

Sanders allies warns superdelegates to not 'thwart the will of the people'
By ELIZA COLLINS 02/11/16 10:23 AM EST

In an apparent effort to blunt that momentum, MoveOn.Org Political Action — which has endorsed the Vermont senator — issued a petition Wednesday night calling on Democratic superdelegates to pledge to back who the voters and caucus-goers have selected in their states during the Democratic National Convention this summer.

“We will not allow Democratic Party insiders to determine the outcome of this election. Democratic voters will decide the party’s nominee,” Ilya Sheyman, who is the executive director, said in a statement. “There is of course no problem with superdelegates choosing to endorse whichever candidate they prefer, but when it comes time to select the party’s nominee at the Democratic Convention, superdelegates must stand with voters and honor the outcomes of primaries and caucuses held across the country. The party’s base simply will not tolerate any anti-democratic efforts by superdelegates to thwart the will of the people.”

He's made the sane repukes, who hate their candidates with a purple passion, decide to vote for Hillary Clinton instead.

Everything he rattles off repeatedly about her is a reason for sane repukes not to think she's as progressive as she really is.

Thanks, Sanders!

He is a case for a psychologist I'm afraid. He needs help to accept reality and with behavior modification. His behavior absolutely colors over his prized "issues" to the point that he is becoming destructive and not progressive at all. It is one thing to crash and burn your own life, but when you are doing it to the Democrat Party after joining--something else again


Everyone in the media is talking as though Trump is the Republican nominee. He is strutting around as though he is Prez Trump today. Hillary? Nada She will be the nominee officially soon and they will still be talking like she shouldn't be. Odd considering she is the only one who is really qualified out of both parties.

down so very far, he continued to want to run, why listen to the polls now. I know, it is a new excuse this week, another for the next week and after the convention there will be another.

He would get much further in promoting his agenda by working with Hillary. Continuing to try and take her down will just show the establishment that Sanders can't be trusted to hold any position of responsibility.
