9. Yet, He Is Doing The Exact Same Act To Stay the Center of Attention

The problem is that we now know we cannot trust Bernie. Last time, Democrats tried to appease him. The party offered up seats on the platform committee to him, including a seat for Cornell West. Yet, despite being included and having a substantial say, these same surrogates then proceeded to support Jill Stein and campaign against the Democratic nominee.



Now, Bernie is doing the exact same thing demanding concessions even though he signed a pledge to support the DNC nominee. Don't fall for it. That would be disrespectful of the other nominees and just encourage similar behavior in the future. If Bernie wants to support Trump in order sharpen the contradictions and prove once again that he is not telling the truth, then so be it.

The true tell will be in Bernie's campaign surrogates. I am sure Bernie will go through the motions of supporting the Democratic nominee, but do his surrogates once again support Trump or Jill Stein? This will show that their main purpose is to destroy the Democratic party.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
