(49,023 posts)absurdity. Bernie was given a stage to carry on his rant against our party, its leaders, for all this time. He stuck to his script, to a fault most would say. It was his desire to show no flexibility and that made him many die hard fans, but it also limited his appeal in the end because our country requires some flexibility in its leaders.
When stuff like the above is put out there, you will notice they can't really point to specific instances when he was marginalized by Clinton or the press. Because the truth is quite to the contrary. People have had a tremendous amount of patience with the Sanders campaign as he ignored facts about the race results and ignored questions about his policies so he could continually pound the same attacks on the D party.
As to the legacy of his campaign, it will be remembered as a very strong showing and affecting the party's positions this year, but there is a time for campaigning and a time to actually work together in the government to accomplish things. I will be surprised if he is able to adapt since he has never shown much ability to do the latter.
