Bernie Sanders said he plans to return to the Senate as an independent, despite winning 13 million votes in the Democratic Partys presidential primary contest.
I was elected as an independent; Ill stay two years more as an independent, Sanders said.
Speaking at the Bloomberg Politics breakfast on Tuesday, Sanders also said the resignation of Debbie Wasserman Schultz as chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee doesnt go far enough in fixing the situation and that more staff members need to leave following embarrassing disclosures of thousands of internal emails.
We need a DNC which has as very different direction, he said. I honestly dont know many of the people there. But my guess is were going to need new leadership, a new direction and new personnel.
Asked after the event whether Sanders considers himself a Democrat or an independent, a campaign aide said, He ran for president as a Democrat but was elected to a six-year term in the Senate as an independent.

Good Lord. Switch to Socialist, Bernie. You’re big on truth in advertising.
Flipping the bird at the DNC on his way out of the building . . .
The Ascension of Bernie.
He was in on it.
Bernie is spineless. He showed it with BLM. He showed it with Hillary and the DNC. What a sorry state of affairs that so many young people (and some older ones, too) would have liked to have seen this spineless wonder as our president. That would have sent some fear through our enemies.
Yeah independent from honesty and integrity.
After the Clinton’s and DNC paid him off, of course....
Is he still going to get the plane from the DNC he asked for to campaign for Hillary?
He will probably get a prop plane like a Foker...
Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Clinton rigged the system - NOT Bernie.
He has quite a racket going there.
Good Lord. Switch to Socialist, Bernie. Youre big on truth in advertising.

Or maybe the democrat party should just switch their name to Socialist party.
When push comes to shove...the guy really is a gutless turd.
Why isn’t The Bern going to Venezuela to get Socialism to work properly?
Winner! U get the chik-fil-A dinner! U have to pay though ;-(
Yes, that is how I take it.
Her adipose is serious body armour?
Commie, commie, who wants the commie!? Nobody? OK, “Independent,” then.
Bernie Sanders and Ted Cruz will be equally popular in the US Senate.
And “Independent” who ALWAYS votes with the democrats...
What a joke.
Time to retire and move to Albania old man.
