7. Sanders and his followers are holding Hillary Clinton to a higher standard than he had in 2008.

Senator Obama didn't have the "requisite number of pledged delegates", but Sanders had NO PROBLEM endorsing Obama - even while Hillary Clinton was still in the race! Why does he have a problem with any superdelegates endorsing her now? Is it because Hillary Clinton is a woman?

Even his campaign spokesperson couldn't answer Rachel Maddow when she questioned the change of opinion from 2008 to today. Funny that.
