Sanders has started rhetorically phasing himself out of the race, while shifting focus to other goals

Bernie Sanders’ Artful Slow Fade | Rolling Stone

Goal that apparently don’t include supporting the Democratic nominee for President.

…Which should be a shock to no one.

Bernie may have run for the Democratic Party nomination but he is not a member of the Democratic Party. He is an independent through and through. He’s not a Party member, he’s not going to make compromises to line up in support of his own side. He’s not the least bit of a team player and he never has been. With that in mind, the absolute best case possible scenario is for his team-sabotaging, Nader ass to go back to Vermont and shut the fuck up.

Symone Sanders, national press secretary for the Bernie Sanders’ campaign, confirms that she has left the senator’s presidential bid.

Why his campaign never capitalized on the momentum it had from young voters.

…And there was a certain irony at the very heart of the campaign: Sanders’ inner-circle primarily consisted older white men who, like Weaver, had known him for decades, while his real support base was among the young, a group they had trouble relating to..

You’ve made your point.

Bernie Sanders said he’ll vote for Hillary Clinton in November — but more than two weeks after she became the presumptive Democratic nominee, Sanders remains in the race.

…But Sanders did not concede to or praise Clinton, something many Democrats would like to see before the Democratic National Convention next month to fully unify the party heading into the heat of the fall campaign.

…Pressed by anchor Charlie Rose on what he needs to hear, Sanders said he wants Clinton to call for public universities and colleges to be tuition-free and to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour. These are two areas where Sanders and Clinton disagree, but only by degree.

…Sanders is continuing to campaign, though it is not entirely clear what the goal is — perhaps to build momentum and pressure for the platform.

The Congressional Black Caucus ‘vehemently’ opposes Sanders’ call to abolish superdelegates.

Superdelegates: Bernie Sanders collides with black lawmakers – POLITICO

Oy…

Hope they eat him for breakfast.

Fans and supporters of Independent Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential runner-up Bernie Sanders are crying “collusion” over a leaked memo that they say proves “collusion” between the Democratic National Committee and the media to “rig” the Democratic nominating contest in favor of now-presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. The only problem with that theory is everything.
