<<A guy who tried to blow up my party in the middle of one of the most important elections in our history, after lying about becoming a Dem? Nah. I've said he's done everything right this week.>> Bernie was not trying to blow up the party. If he was trying to blow up the party, he would have run as a third-party candidate like Jill Stein is. He did it the right way, running within the party. Bernie has always caucused with the Democrats and been a lifelong liberal and he did a lot of good in this election forcing Hillary to move much further left than she wanted. And I was wrong a couple of months ago when I wanted Bernie to stand down inasmuch as he pushed on to change that platform and made a lot of very important fundamental changes to it that are going to be important going forward and that Hillary is going to be forced to keep e.g. cutting down on the number of super delegates, free public college for everyone with incomes below $1 25,000, increasing the minimum wage to $15 and bringing in many new dems. If Bernie was trying to blow up the Democratic Party, then all the people supporting him are complicit and you'll need to blame them all.
