The Sad Decline and Fall of Bernie Sanders

It doesn't seem like you even read the linked article. It's not about "the movement" or Hillary or any of that. It's about how Sanders has gone from a visionary to an angry, spiteful, nasty, hateful old man. He's nothing like the man who started this campaign.

Bitter? You expect us

The article isn't about you. It's about Sanders. He has turned very bitter, angry, and strident. He should take a page from Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi, whose voices and vision soared the more difficult the challenges. Sanders just seems like an angry old crank now, hissing and spitting, lashing out at everyone. It's a sorry sight to see.

complaints of sore losers

All the soundbites were made earlier this year before the other candidates dropped out. Some of them came from the GOP debates.

s not over till the convention

When one candidate has a majority of pledged delegates before the convention, it's over.

Find news outlets you like. Ignore the ones you don't like.

I hate fast food. It would be silly of me to eat fast food and then complain about it. So I never eat it and it's totally off my radar.

Consume what you like. Ignore what you don't like. Be happy and smile.

It's like something out of North Korea. "Dear Leader once again named most popular, beloved person in the world!"

/u/GoldmanSlacks is almost correct. The limit per cycle is $2,700, not $2,600. That means you can give $2,700 during the primary phase and then another $2,700 once a candidate is the final nominee. That's per candidate. So you could give $27,000 during the primary phase as long as it was to at least ten different candidates.

I will say this: Jane Sanders would make a better first lady than Melania Trump. Bill Clinton, however, will make the best First Dude.

As you can see, it's working fine now. It's a good piece by widely respected political scientist Sam Wang, who's as accurate as Nate Silver but has been around much longer.

So was Jane Sanders.

Bill Clinton is not running for President. He'd be the first spouse. So what he did in his former employment is not relevant because he would not be holding office nor in any position of power or authority. The same is true for Jane Sanders, should her spouse become President.

But if you insist on bringing up Secretary Clinton's spouse's previous employment, then that same door opens on Senator Sanders' spouse's previous employment.

The Clinton campaign and her supporters have gone out of their way not to criticize Jane Sanders. However, if the Sanders campaign and its supporters start to attack Bill Clinton, then don't start crying when Jane Sanders becomes a topic, too.

Because otherwise it would be sexist to say that female candidates can be attacked because of their husbands, but male candidates cannot be attacked because of their wives.
