Bernei Sanders has a problem folks…
So does his supporters…
And this dog is glad about this…
Sanders SHOULD have make up his mind….Or go someplace else to run for President…..
Democratic National Committee officials on Friday moved forward with a proposal to force the party’s presidential candidates to identify as Democrats, a move that drew immediate criticism from a top official in Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign.
The prospective rule change, approved by the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee, would not necessarily impact Sanders, the independent Vermont senator who ran for president as a Democrat.
Sources familiar with the discussion said officials believed the rule change could help garner support for a separate bid to reduce the influence of superdelegates in the party’s presidential nomination process — a priority of Sanders’ supporters after the 2016 election. Both proposals are scheduled to be considered by the full DNC in August.
Still, Mark Longabaugh, a senior adviser to Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign, bristled at the DNC committee’s action.
“I really don’t get the motivation for the resolution at all,” he said. “You know, Bernie Sanders got 13 million votes in 2016. Thousands, if not millions, of those votes were young people and independents he brought into the Democratic Party. And I’m just stunned that the Democratic Party’s rules committee would want to try to make the Democratic Party an exclusive club, for which we want to exclude voters and large segments of the American electorate.”
He said, “I just find it a stunning resolution.”…
Thanks Jack

Well, Sanders May have problems, but this action isn’t that big a deal really or surprising.
Most DNC members are establishment types, who likely supported Clinton ,and are none too friendly to Sanders.
Further, as I mentioned earlier, this resolution ,as adopted ,is actually nothing more than a “ slap” at him as it appears unenforceable.
It simply indicates the position of establishment Democrats vis a vis Sanders.
Nothing surprising really.
