Hillary claims she is the outsider

but has 31 Senate endorsements...............what!!!!! Outsider indeed!!!!

Bernie Sanders spinning lack of Senate support as a positive

WASHINGTON — Sen. Bernie Sanders claimed Monday that his inability to win a single endorsement from his Democratic Senate colleagues is actually a plus.

Having no support among the sitting senators shows he’s not part of “the establishment,” compared with Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has 31 Senate endorsements, he claimed.

“It tells you that one of us is a candidate of the establishment, one of us is involved in establishment politics and establishment economics, and it says that maybe, the other candidate is prepared to take on the establishment,” Sanders said on CNN.

I'm a politcal insider who has helped us become a country with the highest inequality levels of first world countries. Most corruption where the people do not trust the government.




Yeah I think it's a good thing

Having support in congress to get an agenda with bills sponsored is a super plus, having the title of president does not automatically get the agenda accomplished. Sanders has been in congress for twenty five years, what is wrong with his cooperation in twenty five years when there is one endorsement, this is something he needs to examine of himself. Blaming Clinton is not the answer. Yes twenty five years makes him an insider.

There was a post here explaining how Clinton was the underdog, because she was the front runner. It reminded me of Sarah Palin explaining how she was going to resign to avoid being a quitter. Yeah. And I'm skinny because I'm fat.
