Bernie Sanders isn't qualified to be a Democrat. And clearly can't talk to adults about how he'd do what he'd do. He sounded more like Drumpf than like either Obama or Clinton in his New York Daily News interview a few days ago: different words, same tone.

When is he going to explain how he'll break up JP Morgan/Chase, Goldman Sachs, and GE? And articulate policy details without an off-topic jeremiad on the evils of too big to fail? He's not wrong, but is that all he's got, seven months before election? Can he even answer a question without needing multiple reminders about what he was asked?

I'm bitterly disappointed in him. I used to like him. Now I don't even know if he can handle a Cabinet post, let alone the executive role.

I think if he continues to go negative, his image will be more polarized and it may hurt in the long term as he will no longer be regarded as different from an average politician.

Who cares what party he belongs to? This isn't football it's not D v. R it's "Who would be the best?" That's what the disagreement should be about not blind party following. Party politicians talk ideology in order to gain votes.

I don't agree with Bernie on a huge range of issues (generally economic issues), but what he is doing is commendable, creating diversity. No more two party paradigm, it's a lie.

Exactly, nuff said in your very first sentence!

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty, besides she hasn't been indicted so there is nothing in to delegitimize her candidacy

I think Bernie should start putting some money into down ballot races ... Hillary will appreciate the Legislative support.

He can belong to any political party he wants or none at all. But he chose to run for the nomination of the Democratic party, and as a baseline, that should mean you are a member of that party and support its platform.

But of course it was all about political expediency for him, not principles, which he himself has freely admitted.
