What in the world has happened to Sanders

He went from a genuinely issue-oriented campaign to this petty, pretentious, paranoid doofus

He isn't paranoid, he's just realized a need to be less focused because there's not too much time left to win this thing. When you have to get the eggs home to bake a cake, but you have a dozen, and he door is automatic and you NEED to get the eggs in, sometimes you have to throw them in every direction and hope enough roll under the door.

Okay, I'll fully admit I have not been a fan of Sanders. But dang, I step out of politics for a bit and what on God's green earth has happened?

Nevada idiocy, doing some Cruz-level stuff with trying to debate Trump, threatening to hold the convention hostage, and now this?

I mean, this isn't the first time the Sanders campaign has "stretched the truth" about an "endorsement", but good Lord at least before they knew to shut up about it afterward and let it disappear off the radar.

To be fair, I doubt Sanders even knows about the reply his policy director gave. Let alone was involved crafting it

To hear the stories coming out of his campaign he's a micromanager, so I wouldn't count on him not being involved. This also is far from the first time he's pulled this shit.

Pretty much, the losing part just brought it all out into the open.
Although bits and pieces were there before that even. But that was easily explained away as a nuance of language at the time.

Just curious. I thought you were a Republican leaning voter? Didn't you like Ben Carson? I'm confused on why you like the socialist Sanders? To go from Carson to Sanders is a bit unusual.

This is pretty bad, yeesh.

Sanders should probably say something, I hope he does at least. Still the best choice as far as I'm concerned, but it is depressing that even the best choice makes blunders like this.

And if you enjoyed the Nevada idiocy, we're probably going to see a repeat in Wyoming (the threatening phone calls, emails and doxxing have already started happening there), and all over *one* fucking delegate. One. In a contest where he's losing by nearly 300. There ain't a salt mine in the world as salty as Bernie is.

He won't. Even if he did it would be a trashy non apology like after NV.

He doesn't care about anything other than his own glory.

This is pathetic. His campaign is a joke. Don't agree with him your either corrupt or too stupid. Almost as bad as Trump at this point.

He did say something, he had his underlings put out the presser. Like when Josh Marshall says that the message comes from the top, it comes from the top. This is Bernie himself venting.

I feel like Bernie has surrounded himself with poisonous people who are constantly in his ear pushing and pushing him to say and do the wrong thing. He doesn't control his campaign anymore. His campaign and the people around him control him

Cruz also said today he would fight Trump on platform changes to abortion. Apparently Trump wants a pro life platform but exceptions for rape,,incest, mother life in danger. Cruz said his delegates will fight Trump for no exceptions.

So Cruz and Sanders may both cause some issues a their conventions.

Most evidence is to the contrary. The poison is Bernie... not his staff.

I'm not wrong though. Maybe Sanders is doing this? I don't know at this point, but he is not helping contradict the crazy Bernie moniker ATM. :(

This means Sanders is throwing eggs at his own house though. Maybe's he just leasing it and getting the hell out of dodge when that nice blue door looks like Egg Soufleé.

Today is kinda like Christmas, since Planned Parenthood got sent under the bus I had my "doubts" about Sanders.
It solidified into a deep disdain for what I view as the 2nd most insane candidate this campaign (nothing is ever going to beat the pyramid guy).
As a French guy, we like being right.
Today has shown to pretty much anyone who had a brain a glimpse at how I view the candidate.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm not even mad if we have to exchange a Trump presidency to the total annihilation of the respectability of this type of candidate.

You don't really think that, do you? I know people get into a fervor in a time like this, but you don't think Bernie is a decent person- at all? I have heard him compared To Cruz and Trump on this board, I think its getting a little ridiculous.

What even is going on anymore with this man?! How many Ls is he going to pile up before the big L finally falls? He's going to need all the freespace left in Vermont to store all these Ls. I feel sorry for the people who live there.

The visual of this is cracking me up. Throwing eggs and hope they roll under the door? What is this post? What kind of analogy is this? It's the most hilarious thing I've read. xD

Edit: Seriously! xD I'm having a hard time containing the laughter. I'm convulsing!

We got an article recently about Sanders campaign, it's not the entourage that lead the boat it's really the captain, it always was.

I would have agreed two months ago, but it has been far too systematic and consistent as of late to be able to be explained away by blaming his staff.

The recent moves have been petty and childish in ways that no ethical candidate would allow.

I think he's possibly even more of a narcissist than Cruz and Trump. At least Cruz had the dignity and grace to not immolate the very institution that gave him a soapbox once his abject failure of a campaign started to fizzle out.
