From Good Morning America: Bernie's just not interested

Rick Klein–Verified account ‏@rickklein

Hillary on Bernie helping Dem senators get elected - whoa: "There's no indication there's any interest there." @GMA

4:14 AM - 4 Apr 2016

Meanwhile Hillary, the only Dem in the race, is very interested.

the revolution will happen - and, I assume, he believes that that would be the extent of his efforts in getting Democratic Senators and Reps elected. Far be it for him to actually put in the work. His entire history shows what a lazy loudmouth he is.

him having a seat of power. There are candidates here in PA running on "they support Bernie Sanders". Meanwhile, due to gerrymandering, they don't have a chance in hell of being elected.

they were fooled by his support for the Party just like his minions were; just like the socialist Party had been. Bernie has always been in it for himself and, at times, his family. He just needs to convince enough of the gullible in this country to buy his snake oil.

Campaign contributions from the NEC and Hillary also has donated $10,000 to Sanders campaign from money she raised in the past. He sits by himself and now wonders why he has not been endorsed by other members of congress.

And now it's sinking fast. SDs are not going to flip to someone who doesn't care about electing other Democrats. The leader of the Democratic Party has to want to lead the whole party, not just the progressive wing.

after he loses this fight. Will he use his popularity to get his followers voting in the mid terms? Stay tuned-I have my doubts.

Basically, unsubstantive--but just for the record.
If he does do it--it would only be to hear the cheers for himself. It will take a while for him to get off his high horse, after all. He will desperately be trying to get attention back.

He will never get on a committee or even be spoken to, ever again. He will just be the Dead Man Walking in the House!

He is so selfish and egocentric--yet talks of socialism...uggggggggh.

...except they weren't really communist leaders at all. We have never achieved real communism on this planet. The first step is to centralize power, wealth, resources, etc. in order to redistribute everything to the people--the powers of production, etc., but when everything is centralized the process stops because the power and wealth corrupts. What we wind up with are still referred to as "communist states/countries" and their leaders are called "communists", except they aren't--they are authoritarian dictators.

I think Bernie has become corrupted, too. Millions and millions of dollars have flooded into his hands along with a whole lot of attention and power.

...and likely why he prefers giving his lectures at large rallies, as opposed to smaller community meetings where questions get asked and listening is involved--not what dictators do
