http://www.politico.com/story/2016/05/bernie-sanders-donald-trump-debate-backlash-223625For some Democrats, Bernie Sanders latest gambit challenging Donald Trump to a debate to cap all debates is the last straw.
Bullshit, said Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia. That confirms what weve been saying. Why would you expect Bernie should be considerate or be nice or be working to bring everyone together? Why? Hes not a Democrat.
The partys frustrations are boiling over with Sanders as the primary season winds down: Namely that Sanders seems unwilling or unable to admit that Hillary Clinton is on course for the nomination. The ire toward Sanders began earlier this year among the loudest Democratic cheerleaders for Clinton and now its seeping into nearly the entire Senate Democratic caucus.
Lawmakers reacted with puzzlement, sarcasm and barely veiled anger as Sanders campaign and Trump himself played up an event that would exclude Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

(12,448 posts)4. "The last straw" FINALLY
Finally Democrats in office are starting to see Bernie for what he is...and isn't. They may have known it all along but the debate debacle was a bridge too far. Inevitably, blowhards and egomaniacs go a step too far and into the abyss.

advantage in California. Its not going to work.
Thank you, Senator Sherrod Brown!
I dont know why he would do that. I think its time to start to winding down the primary, said Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.). Its time to move on.
Mahalo HS.. isn't the latest that DT pwned BS?
