During my writing this election, I’ve warned Democrats and voters afraid of Donald Trump that Bernie Sanders was the only way to defeat the GOP nominee. My advocacy for Bernie in over 200 articles in The Hill, Salon, and The Huffington Post was fueled in large part by my admiration for his honesty and message. As a result of being an inspiration to millions, polls showed Vermont’s Senator consistently beating Trump by over 10 points.
In contrast, Hillary Clinton was only up by 2.7 points over Trump the other day. Furthermore, time is no longer on Clinton’s side. She’ll need to actively campaign to win, yet just canceled a trip to California. Not long ago, a Trump presidency was viewed as an impossibility. Now, both candidates are battling for swing states and national polls show a virtual tie. How did this become possible?
After 5 DNC officials were forced to resign for cheating Bernie Sanders, and Vermont’s Senator endorsed Clinton, the oxygen was removed from a growing political revolution. Hillary Clinton became a political Ms. Pac Man, devouring Elizabeth Warren and then Bernie Sanders. The establishment claimed that unity was needed in order to defeat a dangerous Trump, but after months of being labeled Bernie Bros and worse, many progressives moved to Jill Stein. If Bernie doesn’t return, I’ll be voting for Dr. Stein in 2016.....

Will the drooling senior give back his new house?
I thought he was busy yelling at squirrels on his lawn.
I thought he changed parties to independent. Not sure and if I’m wrong, someone correct me.
“I thought he was busy yelling at squirrels on his lawn.”
He’s to busy enjoying all of the new toys, and the house, that Hillary Clinton’s money bought him for selling out.
We're talking billions.
She won't back out for less than $2B to the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea foundation.
Hillary at this point will lose. They will have to switch her out. Bernie would be more fair. He campaigned. Bernie against Trump is a fair fight. Two not owned candidates, each with a particular ideology. It would be an honest engagement, were it not for the oligarchy who would be desperately trying to own one or both and fast.
Funny stuff!
Sorry, the DNC killed Bernie with super-tricks and will NEVER allow him to become their candidate. Won’t happen. They’d drag out Kerry or Gore before The Bern.
Bernie spent the $ he got instantly on that house as a sign that he was threatened. It was his wife who was threatened.
Burn, baby, Burn.
Too late, Mr Goodman, your principled and honorable Mr Sanders already spent his 30 pieces of silver.
“My advocacy for Bernie in over 200 articles”
The author may be slightly prejudiced towards Bernie?
Bernie’s “leaving” the D party can be undone as easily as it was done. They can nominate anybody they want to.
I doubt it will happen, myself, unless somebody drives a stake through Her Heinous's heart while she's resting in her nightly coffin.
Correct, but the author isn’t talking about that. He’s talking about using Bernie’s popularity - more, in his estimation, than Hillary’s - to win the election Hillary would have lost. That is far less likely and far more difficult if it’s still her name on the ballot and not his.
And I bet this same website claim Republicans are "preying on people's fears"
Obama should call for an emergency early election before she croaks. Ribbit!
