38. I have thought for sometime Sanders was running the show.

"Every time Sanders got into a knife fight, aides say, they ended up losing. But they could never stop Sanders when he got his back up.

What I don't get is why Sanders thinks he should have all this influence. It is clear to me as spiteful and angry as he is, he will not deliver votes for presumptive Nominee Clinton (feels good to write presumptive). We are going to have to win without him clearly. I do not understand why he thinks as the loser he has the right to remake the Democratic system. He can't organize his way out of a paper bag and the so-called movement will die on the vine...as it takes real work to organize this sort of thing. He won't do the heavy lifting. I think the kindness shown by our nominee has emboldened Sanders who's ego is the size of Texas...so it needs to stop. The Democratic primary process worked just fine...it stopped a guy who never had a chance to win the general and that is what it is designed to do.
