Enough, Bernie, enough: Sanders needs to hang it up ~ NYDailyNews Editorial (HRC GP)

[Her Sister]

After decisively losing the nomination of a party that was never his political home, Bernie Sanders is revealing egotism of practically Trumpian proportions.

Sanders insists that he deserves powerful sway over the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton, whom he savaged during the campaign as an “unqualified” stooge of Wall Street.

As they say at closing time: Bernie, you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.

Clinton, Sanders and aides met Tuesday evening in a session whose atmospherics call to mind Middle East negotiations. Additionally, on Thursday, Sanders was scheduled to address supporters — reportedly to rally his base to pursue his policy agenda rather than to suspend his campaign or endorse Clinton.

1. You said it - ego.

[stopbush]

2. I'm sure that 90% of Ds feel the same way at this point.

[BobbyDrake]

3. Bernie has become addicted to his "rock star" status. His advisors are ruining his legacy with this.

[Maru Kitteh]

10. If that Politico article was true at all, it's Sanders & Jane at the root of his denialism

More than his aides. Interesting, at least.

[BobbyDrake]

13. Rotten radicals, still on the shelf long after their "sell-by" date. nt

19. Right.. it's BS.. not his advisors.. just BS & jane. they threw him under the bus.

[liberal N proud]

4. The Bernieland they are sure that the Democrats need him worse than he needs them

[Tal Vez]

5. I think it's a good thing that Clinton and Sanders are talking.

It will be their way of unifying the party. When there is a conflict, it is important that both sides be seen as having won something.

Clinton and Sanders are both professional politicians and they know how to do what they need to do so as to create a win-win result.

[Cha]

20. Hillary didn't demand anything from President Obama when he won. BS is in a weakened

positions and should get nothing the way he's been disingenuously demonizing Hillary for months on end.

I have never seen such a poor Loser as sanders.

6. Sanders' own endorsers are abandoning him, so he really is alone on his island, yelling at clouds.

11. Where is the comments section?

12. Thanks for posting, HS!

It's a great read.

14. ...

To cement Sanders’ weakened position, add the demise of the claim — preposterous in the first place — that he would have made a stronger general election candidate against Donald Trump.

In new polls, on the strength of national security and gun regulation contrasts with the Republican nominee that Sanders could never make, Clinton has solidified a sizable national lead over Trump.

Meanwhile, a state poll from Utah shows that usually bright red state deadlocked; it could actually fall into the Democratic column for the first time since 1964.

But that’s less likely to happen if Sanders, sore loser, clings childishly to the fiction that his bypassed ring must be kissed.

15. Kick for now.. going to read soon.. TY, HS!

[SaschaHM]

16. Shaun King is crying over the computer that he just set on fire.

[Cha]

21. Hehe!

Good.

[eastwestdem]

17. Perfect. It's all coming down to his character flaws. Some legacy. nt

18. "Bernie Sanders is revealing egotism of practically Trumpian proportions."

I've seen that written before by writers looking @ BS' dragging this on like he won or something.

As they say at closing time: Bernie, you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here.

I Love it.. I hope the DNC is reading this.. Do NOT give burnie one damn thing he DEMANDS.

Having become the surprise man of the moment because his lifetime of droning about a rigged system came into vogue, Sanders has lost acquaintance with the American political system.

Despite the razor-thin margin, Clinton she did not have the gall to suggest that she could pressure the victor to accept any of her platform. She understood, as everyone should, that the winner’s ideas carry the day.

These were choices made of his own free will, not because Clinton insisted that her 18 million votes entitled her to anything.

To cement Sanders’ weakened position, add the demise of the claim — preposterous in the first place — that he would have made a stronger general election candidate against Donald Trump.

Oh Yeah.. Perfect, NYDN!

In new polls, on the strength of national security and gun regulation contrasts with the Republican nominee that Sanders could never make, Clinton has solidified a sizable national lead over Trump.

But that’s less likely to happen if Sanders, sore loser, clings childishly to the fiction that his bypassed ring must be kissed.

HAHA! Oh, he'll cling.. he'll cling.

Mahalo, Her Sister.. NYDN could go on and ON.. Don't Stop!

22. That article said it all

Who the hell does Sanders think he is to make demands of ANY kind to the Democratic party that he despises?

Thanks for posting; it's a great article!

23. He's out cadging free air time from the LGBT memorial parades this week.

Last week he tried to take the stage at several charity events and some were smart enough to tell him to leave. Others were probably to amazed at his gall too say anything. Pretty soon people are going to catch on and grab the mike back!

24. It's like having an ex telling you who you shouldn't marry

The one who just refuses to accept that you've moved on and simply tried to run your life for you !
