Does Bernie Sanders want to be the Ralph Nader of 2016?
Finally, mid-afternoon Tuesday, Sanders released a statement saying, “I condemn any and all forms of violence, including the personal harassment of individuals.” But he blamed the Nevada party for preventing a “fair and transparent process,” and he threatened Democrats: “If the Democratic Party is to be successful in November, it is imperative that all state parties treat our campaign supporters with fairness and the respect that they have earned.”
It is no longer accurate to say Sanders is campaigning against Clinton, who has essentially locked up the nomination. The Vermont socialist is now running against the Democratic Party. And that’s excellent news for one Donald J. Trump.
But his attacks on the party have released something just as damaging to the causes he professes to represent. Coupled with his refusal to raise money for the party, his increasingly harsh rhetoric could hurt Democrats up and down the ballot in November and beyond.
“We are taking on virtually the entire Democratic establishment,” Sanders proclaims.
This was Ralph Nader’s argument in 2000: There isn’t much difference between the two parties. It produced President George W. Bush.
Sanders, recklessly, is fueling the fire.
------------------------
He doesn't raise money for the Party. He doesn't support any Democratic candidate. In fact, Bernie has only a single supporter in congress.
I totally agree with the above assessment. He is like a Republican. If they don't get their way, they will destroy the country. Exactly how Bernie is acting.
