There’s no strategist pulling the strings, and no collection of burn-it-all-down aides egging him on. At the heart of the rage against Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party, the campaign aides closest to him say, is Bernie Sanders.
It was the Vermont senator who personally rewrote his campaign manager’s shorter statement after the chaos at the Nevada state party convention and blamed the political establishment for inciting the violence.
He was the one who made the choice to go after Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz after his wife read him a transcript of her blasting him on television.
He chose the knife fight over calling Clinton unqualified, which aides blame for pulling the bottom out of any hopes they had of winning in New York and their last real chance of turning a losing primary run around.

At least.
Here we go with the grammer patrol. LOL!
Grammar.
The word is grammar.
While Rome burns and you make a big deal over my grammar. Good grief, get a life!
I have known Bernie for a long time, actually since 1984 when he used to be jokingly called the mayor of Stannard, Vermont, an unincorporated mountain hamlet . He used to organized and hold 3 man protests, using placards against garbage trucks in support of recycling.( I know a lot of personal stuff about him and his first wife.)
Bernie does not deserve what the Dems are handing him, but he also does not deserve to create a socialist presidency of the United States. That would be horrible. Utopian fascist.
I hope Bernie weakens Hilolita to the point of collapse and that the Donald beats her like a drum.
Sounds like Edward-Isaac Dovere and Gabriel Debenedetti are a couple of Hillary @sslampreys...
The current count shows Hillary with 2199 pledged + 574 super and Bernie with 1827 pledged + 48 super. And 117 delegates still available. So, if you disqualify the superdelegates, Hillary wins a solid majority. But, if you allow the superdelegates, then, true, her pledged delegates only amount to a plurality.
Going into yesterday, with 694 delegates still to be awarded, I had been hoping Bernie would end up with a higher pledged count than Hillary. Then the 'Rat establishment (i.e., the superdelegates) would have had to choose between stealing the nomination for Hillary or honoring the will of the 'Rat voters. And that would have been fun to watch.
The idea that she won "fair and square" is only true if the party-awarded superdelegate system is fair.
It's not. As DJT said last night, it's a "rigged system".
Without those superdelegates in play, this would be headed to a contested convention.
Without the superdelegates, the 2383 threshold would have been lowered to the total number of pledged delegates, leaving Hillary with a solid majority.
“@sslampreys”
LOL!
If the repubs were energetic and savy, they would play the Hillary Bernie thing like a drum.
Gee, Bernie sounds like Mitch McConnell but with more “rage”, but in the end, both caved like a house of cards when faced with a strong opponent (Hillary; Obama and Obamacare).
Perhaps they should both retire together to some rainbow commune in Vermont and commiserate each other till the end of time. I’ll buy them a bottle of Ripple and Cheese/crackers.
