Then why did he run for the Democrat nomination? Why did he speak at the Democrat convention? Why does he sit on Democrat Senate Committees representing them? Why did he campaign for Hillary Clinton?
Ask him. You do know he is an independent right?
Right. He caucuses with the Democrats. He won Democrat delegates in 2016 and participated in every Democrat primary. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has endorsed him and provided funds in his every election...even against other Democrats. Barack Hussein campaigned for Sanders.
He has a seniority ranking among the Democrats for committee seats. Yep thats right...he is senior to many Democrats on that list. In 2013 he represented the democrats on the USS Committee for Veterans Affairs as Democrat CHAIRMAN.
He was introduced as the " ranking minority member on the Senate Budget Committee in January 2015" "Since January 2017 he has been Chair of the Senate Democratic Outreach Committee"
Additionally
Committee on the Budget (Ranking Member)
He is ALSO a leading member of Democratic Caucus of the United States Senate. During the 100 Congress when the breakdown was 50-50 in the Senate they crowed that Bernie made 51-49 because he was a member of all democrat caucus.
He i a Democrat through and through who gives them some plausible deniability as they rush towards third world socialism,
