None whatsoever! Money talks and threats can talk louder.

I always had great respect for Bernie and even his policies after listening to him speak in a few youtube clips. He was my 2nd choice for POTUS after Trump, and I looked forward to the debate between the two of them to confirm my voting decision. Although Bernie was not able to keep his promise to stay in through the convention, I believe that was beyond his control, get in the way of the Clintons and bad stuff, real bad stuff can happen.



Bernie isn't a spokesman for the Democratic party;like Donald Trump, Sanders is just another "old man" who loves campaigning.

Sadly that is true. He is not a spokesperson. In part it's why they have lost the White House, the Senate, the House and soon the Supreme Court for decades.

As did I. Bernie was more of a fad for the 2016 election - like how Pogs were for 1995. Appreciated what he did, but did a horrible job selling out to the corrupt DNC machine. He had a lot more in common with Trump then people want to give him credit for.

It's beginning to look like the things Sanders and Trump agreed on, Trump really didn't support.
