anything.. because he's suppose to be the big outsider who thinks Dems and repubs are the same.

At least that what he's said in the past.. and, that he would be a hypocrite to run as a Dem because of the things he's said about them.

Social Security.." so he needed to be primaried.. which was total bullshite but he demagogued it anyway.

So why isn't he standing up for what he did.. why is he trying to weasel out of it?

It isn't surprising that most of the Sanders supporters were all anti-Obama people here on DU. So of course they don't care (or try to derisively dismiss) that Sanders had said that finding a primary challenger to President Obama in 2012 would be "a good idea for our democracy".

And he's surprised that Black, Hispanic/Latino, and Asian American voters aren't warming up to him? The arrogance.

And now berni trying to deny he worked against Obama? Let's just say I cannot wait until Karma serves him up and that ugly game he played.

And the BS fans who aren't against Pres Obama should take a lot at what their candidate has done to work against him.

Thank you, Blue!

take them seriously on anything that has to do with the Democratic Party? Why should I take their snark and sniping at Hillary Clinton with anything more than a pound of salt?

And then to find out that Bernie's lied about President Obama not asking his supporters to continue to support him, and lied about not having suggested to primary President Obama in 2012, and lied about never having "dissed" the president throughout his seven years? I mean, this guy is something else and it takes a special kind among the politically astute to want to throw their support behind him.

Hillary Clinton's support of President Obama is a major reason I chose her above Sanders. But should, by some miracle, Sanders win the nom, I'll vote for him, of course.
