Another lawsuit in CA and a Letter to DNC with threats to bring the convention to a standstill if he does not get his way (wants two Chairs removed).
His legacy will not be pretty!

30 years in government and Bernie Sanders entire legacy will only be remembered for dirty campaign tricks, death threats, and harassment.

(12,448 posts)Bernie has a reputation of being a "my way or the highway" type of person. I very much doubt if he allows his staff to send a letter to the DNC without his knowledge and okay. He's the one constantly criticizing the Democratic party, saying the entire process is "rigged." (Oops! Now he says he never ever said "rigged" and never ever would. NOW he says it's "dumb."

(10,237 posts)...the lied about endorsements, hacked data, falsely claimed union membership and cheap, stupid & pointless campaign stunts like the Vatican "invitation"/ambush and the Back Bench Bernie/Donald Rump"debate!".
Unfortunately for Sanders, there is very little upon which to build a legacy after a quarter of a century of polishing the Congressional back bench with his wrinkled and crusty old ass!
PEACE!

(2,542 posts)Cheap ways to generate headlines and attention that he can't otherwise attract as The Biggest Loser.
Her Sister
(6,444 posts)He thought he was so clever! Was going to go to that debate all important and presidential! Was going to speak about it at interviews for the next 2 weeks! Everyone saying Wow, what's going to happen! This is unprecedented! BS wow! with Trump! My god what's gonna be! BS was going to eat it all up! The best 2 weeks of his life!
Hmmm!

(22,165 posts)loving this. Huge crowds of mostly naive kids chanting his name. He's criticizing the Establishment and reliving his twenties.
We need a mature person for President who talks about the future. That's why I'm with her!

puffy socks
(1,473 posts)I really liked the passion he had for fighting income inequality, single payer, wanting to find ways to regulate banks so taxpayers aren't Wall Street's whipping boy. I loved his civil discourse speech at Liberty University.
Then I started reading his bio and articles about how difficult he is to negotiate with and my opinion started turning.
I posted something on another Liberal site to the effect of "I really like Bernie but what are his plans to support his ideas? " and was swarmed by Berniebros calling me a Shill for Hillary and a troll for the DNC.
His campaign turned to mud slinging, false accusations of rigging elections, and now to making demands from the very people who welcomed him in and allowed him to use their infrastructure. He has turned out to be the very opposite of everything he claimed to stand for at the beginning of his campaign.
He is the poster child for why Dems prudently gave SDs the power they have.

(2,029 posts)Super delegates are like spring brakes on an 18 wheeler...you hope you never need them...it's going to be hairy if they have to engage...but if you're hurtling down the highway with 50,000 pounds behind you it's essential that you have some way to stop before you go over that cliff.

(67,782 posts)...now he's successfully shredded any respect most Americans had for him.
His campaign has become a mockery - from "the rigged system" to the "we don't have to play by the rules" to the "we want to write the rules", etc., etc., etc.
