Claims he doesn't want to be a leader.....runs for president.

1. I'll bet we see an ad with that statement soon! Would make a good one.

[GusBob]

2. I think the actually quote was very accurate

"I'm not much into being a leader"

[Surya Gayatri]

3. Obviously, the Bern isn't too hot on winning the world's top leadership position--or so he said.

5. if he were to win the nomination...

It's another thing that the GOP would decimate Bernie with.

6. Lucky him

He'll never be either.

[LuvLoogie]

7. It seems his aim is to generate scorn and mistrust of the party

and system that won't let him gave his way.

8. His followers

are now using Late Breaking news to try and dominate the sight again

9. What got to me was the sheer amount of projection he did.

He claims that the DNC writes off states, when that is exactly what his campaign has done. He claims that the best thing is to listen to people, when his preferred strategy is big rallies where those on stage can only talk, not listen, while Clinton is known, is in fact famous, for going to smaller venue and talking to people. She did that in NY after her first election, and that won them over to the tune of 67% the second time when her predecessor won on average by 55%. He is the intruder and the one who claims that the establishment is evil, and now he is making demand of said establishment to make him comfortable?

No, he is behaving like a Republican in projecting.

11. Yep. Desperation brings out some interesting truths. nt

13. Exactly!

He has written off states and whole groups of people--often negatively framing them as he does so

[CalvinballPro]

14. Hillary has competed in every state. Even places like NH which don't favor her. Bernie? Not so much.

And what's the one common denominator in the states that Sanders opted not to compete within at all? Minority voters.

Edit: Not minority voters, exactly. Sanders seems capable of trying to compete for Latinos and Hispanics. It's black voters he specifically and categorically wrote off when his whole "I marched with King, you owe me your vote" meme didn't pan out as expected.

15. Good point!

She has said it herself--that she will work for every vote Yet they want to frame her as "entitled" waiting for a "coronation!"

[Walk away]

16. Bernie "Hates the Deep South" Sanders!!!!

[KitSileya]

17. Yeah, a lot of what he does leads to natural conclusions

But we aren't allowed to state them here, of course. There was an article in the New York Times about the problem Hillary Clinton apparently has with white men. Their main problem is that she isn't taking them into consideration enough when she talks. In other words, she doesn't keep them front and center when talking about issues and coming up with policy, so they're spitefully not voting for her. That's the sort of whining I'm hearing from Bernie Sanders as well - he refuses to become a member of the Democratic party for over 30 years, but the moment he does, they should do things his way. Anyone who doesn't follow him, he dismisses, without any introspection about why they're not buying what he's selling.

10. K&R

And for the gifs!

18. Good to know he won't be put in that position.
