Nah...What Bernie is doing is selling false hopes to his followers. I'm not talking about the hope of seeing better health care, wages, and fixing a out of control higher educational system that keeps young adults in debt...That all needs to be pushed for..

I'm talking about hope that he can win this election....

Sanders is basically doing the same thing that Trump did....Whenever Cruz would out-mobilize or use the system better than Trump, dude would turn around and scream THE SYSTEM IS FIXED....THAT'S THE ONLY REASON CRUZ WON...But such comments didn't truly hurt the Republican Party because its voters are reaching out to a largely white base who agree with Trump's bullshit message...

But flip that around to the Democratic primary and u have trouble. Bernie knows he's going to lose. And yet, even after the violent fiasco in Nevada he gets onstage claiming that he will win the nomination and that he is the only hope for the Democratic party....He's not being truthful to his followers...

Even S.E. Cupp, a Republican, called dude out in amazement.... How can u say you are going to unite the party when u r telling your followers that A) I'm the ONLY person who will wave the progressive flag and B) I'm only losing because the system is rigged?

I was always in the camp that believed that Bernie would do the right thing and play the long game given that this will come down to a fight against a Trump led Republican Party. But the more and more as this drags on it's clear that Bernie is looking to play the role of Nader, the spoiler...

The damage may already be done....
