(42,566 posts)What I think is Sander is an immature, petty, little man who is choosing to playing a game with the public and the media.
Sanders basic message of economic justice has resonated with millions of people. It makes them fell good, makes them feel they are part of something special. It doesn't take effort to be on the Sanders team. One gets to be part of cool kids. It is also an angry message, so the way it works is folks not impressed with the simplistic and repetitive get "othered" immediately. Those who are already "othered" have their concerns not dismissed exactly, but tossed in the salad of this economic message with vague promises that everything will simply work out.
Sanders has no particular reason to build up all this anger and resentment, this movement of the faithful that gives him a degree of influence and power to have it shot down in scandal. Although, if there was something untoward in the tax returns, his more faithful people would call it conspiracy. There is that.
