Related: About this forumHouse Democrats boo Bernie Sanders for his delay in endorsing Clinton
http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/house-democrats-boo-bernie-sanders-for-his-delay-in-endorsing-clinton/ar-BBu0Oew?ocid=iehpWASHINGTON Sen. Bernie Sanders was booed during a closed meeting with House Democrats on Wednesday, as lawmakers shouted "Timeline! Timeline!" pressing for his endorsement of Democratic rival Hillary Clinton as the party's presidential nominee.
The Vermont senator did not directly answer Democrats' many questions about his intentions, according to a source in the room who requested anonymity to discuss the private session.
"He went in there with his canned talking points from the stump," the source said. "People just weren't having it."
Democrats have struggled to unify the party as Clinton all but secured the party's nomination, but Sanders has continued his renegade campaign.

No regard for taxpayer expenses...
And he ran as a Democrat? Genuinely confusing.

Getting booed by ones own peers should give pause that his future in the Senate may become unproductive as peer cooperation is likely to evaporate.
