To be honest, and I know DS disagrees but if Bernie wanted to have become the nominee thus voice of the Democratic Party, he should have joined the party years ago rather than just caucusing with them and relying on them for re-election funds when he needed it. I am glad Bernie campaigned hard for Hillary this fall. I don’t begrudge him that but I did and I think a lot of Democrats had a hard time with wanting to make him the nominee after he had a history of doing so little to get other Democrats elected. You’re running for the president of the entire country, yes, but you’re also running to be your party’s voice and unofficial official leader and Bernie had never shown much of a desire to help the Democratic Party in the past. I saw Hillary campaign for Kerry, Obama, and many other Democrats over the years. Never saw Bernie doing that. And as I said, I still think he’s foolish about a lot of things. He believes that white blue collar voters will switch back to the Democrats as soon as we tell them what they want to hear, I don’t believe that. I think Bernie underestimates the resentments those peopel have to social liberalism.
