please don't speak for me, I did not give you my permission,  I can speak for myself. t he deck was stacked against Bernie because of his views, not what the low staffers at dnc did.  sanders knew he could not win using a fringe party, so he tried to hitch a ride with the democrats so he could pursue his silly socialists ideas.  further, he thought that just maybe Hillary would have been indicted for the email controversy and he would then become the democratic nominee.  that is when he held off so long to endorse Hillary when he was beaten significantly and had no chance at the convention.  nope sanders is no democrat, his ideas are worse than the repubs.  and he had the gall to insist that Hillary adopt his silly principles when he is not a true democrat,  what makes him think he could impose his silly will on the democrats?   he is an outsider using the democratic party to further his nonsensical ideas.   it was great to see him lose, I don't like him or his followers.
