"Bernie Sanders is not a Democrat."
"He has never put in the kind of grass roots work that active Democrats do to help other Democrats. He doesn't care about building the party up, only about changing it. And he spits on every Democrat who has to take PAC money to get elected, which is most Democrats who don't come from personal wealth. For, unlike candidates in Vermont, which has some of the cheapest media markets in the country for advertising, candidates in most states have to spend an enormous amount of money to get elected. The average Congressional candidate has to spend at least 3 or 4 million dollars to get their message out and even have a chance of winning; the average senate candidate has to spend upwards of 7 to 20 million dollars. And Bernie Sanders sits and makes the case that this is all dirty money, this is all money corrupting the system. But he's never had to raise that much before, and now he has national exposure and access to the fund raising magic of the internet, which allows him to run his clean campaign.
(...)
Hillary Clinton has traveled the nation for over 25 years raising money for local Democrats. She's helped Democrats get elected to the House and Senate, and helped them to stay there. She is a proud member of a political party, the Democratic Party. She's eaten a million rubber chicken dinners to help raise money for local politicians from Maine to California. So when loyal, hard-working Democrats become Superdelegates, do not be surprised if they vote for Clinton almost without exception. It won't be a scandal or a conspiracy; it will be perfectly understandable."

I don't give a crap if you Hillary supporters want to scream this in the face, on the issues he is MORE of a Dem than Hillary ever can and will be.
Isn't it ironic that the person you are for acts more like a Republican while the guy who supposedly isn't a Dem is acting like one?
In the film, Bull Durham, a young woman who is about to be married, but is not a virgin, asks Susan Sarandon's character if she (the engaged woman) deserves to wear a white dress. Sarandon replies "Honey, we all do." We all deserve everything!
Too bad. Bernie Sanders will be nominated at the Democratic Convention by acclamation
.
huff poo has some great gossip.
Please please please throw every extra dollar you have towards that end.
and he'll blooooooow Bernie's house down!
This is a feature, not a bug. 
Particularly on the issues, Bernie Sanders is ten times the Democrat Hillary has ever been.
When is comes to placing a supreme importance on money in politics, Hillary is just as much a Repuglican as any of those running for that party's presidential nomination this year.
