When those two loud mouthed pushy BLM females caused Bernie to exit the podium like a scared kitten thats all you needed to know about Bernie the de-braved.
This from a guy who says he’s not a Democrat but rather a Democratic Socialist.
The ONLY one sounding reasonable about the shafting Bernie got ... is TRUMP
And the Sandernistas are noticing thtat even THEIR guy is a sellout.
