Bernie Sanders, Shifting Tone, Takes On Democratic Party

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Senator Bernie Sanders spent Thursday afternoon laying out in more detail than usual his views for shaping the Democratic Party’s agenda and the need for elected officials to focus on achieving progressive political goals.

The change in his campaign tone — focusing less on attacking Hillary Clinton — comes as the Vermont senator lays off staff members after several tough losses on Tuesday. Though Mr. Sanders remains adamant that he wants to win the Democratic presidential nomination, his shift hints that the senator is looking past the nominating fight and toward a future role in shaping the party.

At a rally Thursday in Springfield, Ore., Mr. Sanders spoke at length about how Democrats had not spent enough time trying to help working-class people obtain adequate health care and higher wages.

1. SO now that he isn't going to be the nominee...

he's not only going to try to delegitimize the process, he's also going to try to delegitimize the party.

I think the President may eventually weigh in if he continues this tack. it's asinine to say that the many Democrats that fought for and loss their seats after passing ACA don't care about health care for the working class.

10. Nothing quite like a Democrat for 5 mins demand what we need to do

I don't think Dem party likes to be dictated to, these rabid supporters won't go away and will hound HRC for everything.
His ego is too big for an exit gracefully.

so I won't.

15. Bernie, Bernie, Bernie...

WTF are you doing, Bernie??

I can see the DNC now..."oh great, he's finally taken some heat off Hillary and decided to change tracks!" "What's that - now he's talking about how evil WE are??"

16. I'll tell you what the Democratic Party did wrong

and recently, too. They allowed Sanders to run as a Democrat, with all the advantages that gave him. If he'd run as an Independent, no one would be talking about him.
