A lot of Bernie supporters are sore and bitter about what happened in Seattle [View all]

but you gotta remember that he's running for President.

Running for President is hard and not everyone is going to fall in love with your candidate.

Obama was smeared as a Kenyan-born Marxist Muslim who pals around with terrorists. He toughed it out.

The media establishment along with pretty much the entire Republican Party is going after Hillary at the moment. She was attacked in the most recent GOP debate countless times. I don't think Bernie's name even came up.

A couple of protesters disrupting an event? That's childs play.

Bernie has had it easy so far.
