(3,335 posts)immature, no-nothings all riled up calling for a revolution. The political revolution he needed never showed up but his gang of followers did. He then claimed that he would take his fight all the way to the convention when he's known all along that he had no real path to victory but to try and get delegates to switch from Hillary to himself even if he were behind at the end by continuing to claim that he had the momentum. Instead what he had was a bunch of bullies.
He said in the Townhall Meeting with Chris Matthews last month that it was up to Hillary to convince his supporters to vote for her and then proceeded to give a long list of demands, that echoed his platform. That is not someone who ever planned on conceding that he had lost and she had won. Bernie is responsible for this mess that he caused. He knew what he was dealing with a long time ago. He's the one who gets these folks all riled up at his rallies and encourages that booing of Hillary. You can't throw gasoline on a fire and then claim no responsibility to the damage that results.
