I didn't vote for Bernie but I am really impressed

How he has stayed engaged and continued to call out the Repugs for their anti American agenda. I hope everybody that voted for him will be there in 2018 as I believe we have a chance to take back the house.

Bernie is putting the fear of god into people like Sen Joe Manchin (DINO) and Sen. Shelly Capito (daughter of the convicted felon Republican governor Arch Moore).

I appreciate that he's still out there working tirelessly for values and issues I care about. Country is far more important than party to me.

He froze his ass off at Standing Rock...he continues his message with gusto . Check him out at a town hall in McDowell, WV (where Trump won 75% of the vote) tonight at 8 p.m. est on All In With Chris Hayes on MSNBC. Bless him. BTW, We MUST take back the house!! Resist.

Sanders ran on propositions which were economically dubious, helping make Trump's half baked idiocies mainstream (a bipartisan evaluation of Bernie's economic platform was far from positive).

Do you remember the U professor (forgot his name) who correctly predicted Trump would win? His analysis was based on a dozen of 'drivers', one of which being 'the Party of the incumbent president does not run a divided campaign'. Sanders ticked that box for Trump.
