I did not suggest a strategy for BS. I suggested he not be dishonest about what happened in the past. If I were going to suggest a strategy for BS that is not dishonest about the past it would be that he propose the Senate change the rules so you don't need 60 votes to do anything. Phone trees, dates, times, places won't get you 60 Senate votes fasttense.
If you want to blame anyone for the past, blame Harry Reid...
Your second & third paragraphs are outlandish on their face to anyone who reads it so a reply is not necessary.
Bernie Sanders pulled the single payer amendment, not Barack Obama, get your facts straight. It's convenient to blame the President, but if there was some secret strategy back then to get to 60 votes, surely Bernie would have tried it.
I like Bernie too, but the campaign tactic of dissing the President is dishonest and ill advised....you'll need his supporters too.
