Bernie says he's not asking Hillary for any advice because they have "fundamental differences."

Actually, they came together on a very progressive platform in 2016. And she managed to appeal to almost 4 million more voters than he did -- so she could have some useful insights.

I wonder what fundamental differences he's referring to, and how he thinks he's ever going to appeal to Hillary voters by saying dismissive things like that?

@rickklein

does Bernie Sanders want advice from Hillary Clinton? "I think not," Sanders tells @MeghanMcCain . "Hillary and I have fundamental differences." @TheView

It sounds like he wants to make sure they don't. He could have talked about his buzzwords "super delegates" without trying to disparage Hillary and eliciting "Boos". He made a choice.

1. He only likes women whom he can subjugate (Reference - his own essays)

2. He is so arrogant and unempathetic that he knows it all and no need for advice.

Anyone who still tries to claim he threw his full support behind Hillary is full of it.

I hope after the first primaries, when it’s clear he has no path to victory, that he isn’t allowed to hang on and drag everyone down again.
