1. And he thinks Sanders gave all the right answers, maybe he needs to spend time cleaning up

the mess after the interview and get Sanders prepared for the next debate, there will be more of these questions and it is becoming apparent Sanders is not up to answering the questions the way I expect a presidential candidate to do.

FEC wants to know & so does America.

Cronies in high places. Ya gotta wonder sometimes just who is really behind that (ahem) campaign.

Considering he's been running against Hillary, Pres Obama, DNC, DEM Party.....kinda makes ya wonder just who's working for bernie & who bernie's working for.

Just speculating..

7. I've been wondering the same thing for a while...

It seems like the Bernie campaign's main impact on the Democratic party is divisive. In order to get to the place he is at, he came out and promised free stuff...which is a proven way to gain a large following. It just seems like a series of well-orchestrated strategic maneuvers to keep all the Bernie side of the party from voting for Hillary in the GE.

8. The point of his campaign has been obvious for some time

We are in complete agreement.
His campaign has been orchestrated by the same group that is one election away from a trifecta. The Supreme Court is the big prize and long before Hillary announced her candidacy, they knew the only way to defeat her was to divide the Dem Party.
It worked to break the GOP & bring in the Tea Party.
Of course they would seek out a way to put that same method in play again.

Why Sanders agreed to do their bidding is the question.
What was in it for him? The Presidency was & still an impossible long shot, so what was in it for sanders should he succeed in weakening the Dem Party & giving the RW a clean path to the Big Prize.

Considering who Tad Devine aligns with, its not a leap to understand where the campaign of slander, lies & dirty smears against all things Dem has its origins.

What's in it for Bernie Sanders, is the question when the result of his mission is to usher in the RW & complete control of our government by the Party of bigotry, global oligarchy, war-for-profit & fascist governance.

Is that what sanders is in this for? Really?
Because to divide the Dem Party through constant condemnation is exactly what the RW is after.
Wtf Bernie Sanders. What is in it for him?

... and a platform for him to spout off on. Completely agree with your analysis... this is exactly what the republican operatives do, work out what sort of babble gets the most emotional reaction, and run with it, pulling the wool over the eyes of the voters.

10. The real obstacle is getting this opinion out without sounding whiney or accusatory.

And clearly, it can’t come from the Hillary campaign. This is why it is such a perfect tactic from the right…even though they have truly aimed a ‘vast right-wing conspiracy’ at Hillary for decades, it just sounds paranoid to call attention to it.
