BREAKING : BERNIE QUIETLY LEAVES THE RIGGED DEMOCRATIC PARTY
The nomination was barely sealed up at the Democratic National Convention before Bernie Sanders, who had campaigned against Hillary Clinton for the party’s nod, went back to being an Independent.
And now, despite pleading with his base to support Hillary, even though they’re concerned that she’s too moderate, Sanders will return to Vermont and to his seat in the Senate, and he’ll do it with no official party affiliation.
Bernie Sanders tells @bpolitics breakfast w/reporters he'll return to the Senate as an Independent, not a Dem: 'I was elected as an Ind.'

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who was forced to resign as Chairwoman of the DNC after leaked emails revealed she’d tried to keep Sanders from challenging Clinton for the party’s nomination, might even be vindicated—sort of.
Sanders has struggled all along with whether to call himself a Democrat, evenducking the question of his party affiliation, raised by local Vermont media, just days after he declared. He later tried to reinforce that he was, indeed, a Democrat. But Sanders certainly wasn’t a party player—and that’s exactly the concern Wasserman Schultz voiced in the Wikileaks document dump.
In an April 24 email she received with an article describing the ways Sanders felt the DNC was undermining his campaign, she wrote back, “Spoken like someone who has never been a member of the Democratic Party and has no understanding of what we do.”
If Wasserman Schultz’s job was to ensure that a Democrat got the Democratic party nomination, then she might have been doing her job correctly (even if Bernie’s supporters would disagree).
There’s the additional complication, of course, that Wasserman Schultz was a vocal Clinton supporter, a Clinton surrogate and is now a senior adviser to the campaign, as she’s been officially booted from her DNC duties. But if anyone is vindicating her position, it’s Sanders, dumping the Democratic party as soon as it was no longer useful.

If the party didn’t want Bernie, shouldn’t give him membership. It is not possible? Too bad than. Bernie has lived with the Party’s rules, the Party has to live with the rules of the land.
Besides, almost half of the Democrats voted for him. Is this a hint for something? About, where the Democrat Party is at right now?
If he would have a chance to become president, he would have been a Democrat president.
The Democrats never obey laws, especially laws of the land. The party is a joke!
Absolutely right David. Just as the Illuminati killed off the Kennedy brothers, they kill off so many other people who have tried to testify against Hillary Clinton and Bill.
Bernie’s supporters have more in common with Trump than Clinton. I hope they see the unique opportunity to get back to a government that will put Americans at the top of their agenda!
Bernie supporters have very little in common with Trump. I was a registered republican until a few months ago when I supported Bernie in the primaries. I wished he would have won the nomination, but the truth is Hillary won more votes & more states. There’s no way I would ever vote for Trump. Now is a time for everyone to unite and vote with our conscience like Cruz said, I for one will vote for Hillary.
Romney should have ran in this election, if it would have been Hillary vs Romney I would have voted Romney.
Then you’re just plain stupid….
How on earth can you put conscience and Hitlery in the same sentence????
Ed, What an idiot you are!
Ed, put down the pipe. You’ve been brainwashed about Trump and you are an idiot for believing it.
These areladies that disgusted with your post, because your a troll.
I’m going to point out the obvious. The Bernie supporters now know they were “handled” by Wasserman-Schultz and the DNC. After raising and spending over $200 million, Bernie goes home with nothing, and his very loyal supporters go home broken hearted. Realistically, Bernie and his many supporters represent the very liberal left of the democrat party, and they will find it hard to support a conservative like Donald Trump or Mike Pence. For the most part, they will not support Hillary because of the way they were disrespected by her and the DNC. The politically active Bernie supporter has a very real dilemma, because they have no where to turn, and no one they can really support.
Most will just stay home. Some will go to the Green party, some for Hillary. Very few for Trump.
Don, I disagree. I think quite a few will throw in with Trump just to stick it to Douche-bag Debbie and the DNC. If I’m wrong I’ll but you a beer !!!
Many will go for Trump because they HATE Clinton and wish to express their anger by voting for Trump. Few will vote based solely upon his platform. My guess it’ll be Sit it Out, Stein, Trump, with Trump and Stein pretty close.
Best to get all the onto on Clinton and Obama before voting for Hillary. She’s a demonic person who has criminal activity going back to Arkansas. Real and dangerous. Too many people are dead cause of her and Bill.
Very true , and anyone who would vote for her is blind to her criminal activities. If you want change and a government the way the founding fathers set this country up,,, vote TRUMP!!!
I’m a new voter . I’m observing to this 2 parties. I feel sorry for Bernie n his supporters . Democrat Party are playing dirty. They are Rigged and most of all Hilary really cannot be Trusted. How much more is she’s in Power ? This Great country will Deeply Go Down and NEVER BE SAFE. ALL THIS WHAT HAPPENINGS IN OUR COUNTRY, IM CLEARLY NOW WILL VOTE FOR TRUMP. I HOPE BERNIE SANDERS SUPPORTERS WILL VOTE FOR TRUMP. IM 100% TRUMP WILL BE MUCH BETTER THAN HILARY. OUR COUNTRY WILL BE SAFE AND BE PROSPER AS WELL. # TRUMP FOR PRESUDENT .
Not so. I am talking to a lot of people who are associated with the Clintons and the Bernie Sanders voters who ask questions about what to do. After some explaining they get it and have moved over to support Trump. You’ll see. It’s not politics, it’s what’s best for our country. Not how the elitists can control the people of the United States and the world.
Oops. I meant info. Not onto. Sorry.
Most will go for Trump, cause even a blind man sees the corruption that is Clinton. Also for the reason that Trump and Bernie have the support of passionate people that are looking for real change. Not establishment
Why doesn’t he go and have his own party. The two party system proved time and time again to be a failed system. Bernie has the charisma, and he gather enough supporters to his ideas. May be it is time to have his own party to pursue his peaceful revolution against the rigged and corrupt politicians.
Lots should go for trump hes a good man wake up poeple you have a manhere who is willing to help america it is up toyou to lethimtry donald trump all the way
Are you RETARDED?? Rigging an election was NOT part of Wassermans job. Horrible journalism. Do yourself a favor and don’t write another word if u expect any rational thinking person to excuse Election Rigging. Treason in a Democracy you twit!!
