anyone listening to Maddow? Sanders threatens DNC Party just
filed a complaint--they are demanding that Gov Malloy and Barney Frank get off certain committees. Maddow said they threatened to bring the Convention to a standstill unless these demands are met.

He's getting out of control. It's now all about Sanders revenge against the democratic party.
"FUCKING LOST" part. 
Sanders. She seemed shocked. If Sanders continues his vendetta against the democratic party he might as well run as trumps running mate.
That gave me the impression it might be until the Conventions or something.
Glad to be wrong about that! 
Give money! Give money to his campaign! Give moooooooooney!
What a TOTAL DRAG!!!!
but IDK!
and tearing down the Democratic Party. You cannot compare this to 2008. President Obama and Hillary were both loyal Democrats. This is different and the DNC needs to stop trying to placate this selfish, delusional person. He is not interested in helping the Dems. Take him down now with everything they have got. Hillary doesn't have to do it...But there are plenty of Democrats who need to go after him NOW. Before it is too late. They have plenty of ammunition. Do it now. OK. I am little bit emotional now. But this is about our party and he is trying to dismantle it. Maybe someone can ---as Rachel likes to say---"talk me down."

The more HIS favorable numbers go down:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/04/12/sanders-adviser-barney-frank-hit-sanders-capacity-age/82947832/
Tad Devine, Sanders’ senior adviser, said Frank is among surrogates for Hillary Clinton who used Sanders’ remarks to a NY Daily News editorial board on April 1 to promote a story line that questions Sanders’ capacity to be president.
Devine pointed to Frank’s April 6 statements on MSNBC that Sanders “confused several things” in his responses to questions about his core issue of breaking up big banks. Frank also said Sanders’ responses to the editorial board were not “coherent.”
“These are remarks that do not speak merely to the substance of policy proposals but speak to his capacity and obviously his age,” Devine said Monday of Sanders. “I think they’re trying to suggest that he does not have the capacity to be president of the United States. That is part of their attack on his qualifications."
Devine’s remarks follow suggestions that Sanders was sexist in saying Clinton was unqualified to be president, a charge Sanders made — and later walked back — after Clinton wouldn’t answer whether Sanders was qualified.
Devine stood by his criticism after being reminded that Frank is two years older than Sanders. Frank is 76 and Sanders is 74.
He said Frank’s comments are the manifestation of Clinton’s strategy after his April 5 win in Wisconsin to disqualify Sanders. And he has concerns about Frank serving as co-chairman of the convention’s rules committee in July. Frank was appointed to the position by Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
“At the appropriate point in time, we will raise objection to it,” he said, adding that he is expressing his own concerns. “The people who are going to chair these committees for the convention need to be people who are not engaged in that level of partisanship.”
Responding on Tuesday, Frank said it would be “stupid” and baffling” to think that age played a role in his criticism of Sanders.
“How many 76-year-olds do you know who would like to imply that a 74-year-old is too old to do something?” he asked. “I’m two years older than Senator Sanders! That would lead me to question Mr. Devine’s qualifications for having a rational debate.”
Frank said he expects Clinton to secure a clear majority of delegates, but he will step aside from his rules committee co-chairmanship if the nomination is uncertain in June and a rules interpretation could be the deciding factor.
“I understand the perception problem,” he said. “I don’t insist that everyone in the world have the same confidence in my judgment that I do.”
Frank, co-author of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law, has long criticized Sanders. In July, he wrote a column for Politico, “Why Progressives shouldn’t support Bernie,” arguing that a long primary would undermine Clinton’s general election chances.
Frank said he has never suggested that Sanders is unqualified to be president, but he disagrees with his approach to politics.
“I think he has been too rigid and his record in 26 years in Congress is not one that leads to getting things done,” he said. “The people most committed to change in Congress who have served with both him and Hillary Clinton are overwhelmingly for Hillary
My husband, who is (maybe now WAS) a Sanders supporter was watching Rachel with me and just groaned, "what a stupid move." Finally he and I are on the same page in this primary!
I hope this latest Sanders stunt blows up in his face just like his Vatican trip stunt and his Trump debate stunt.
This is what happens when we let non-Democrats run in our primary. Who the fuck thought this guy would be good for the Democratic Party:
Your husband, apparently. 
He's making one demand after another. At what point will he be satisfied? My guess is never. He's going to sue again, isn't he?
He can officially go to Hell for trying to wreck the Democratic Convention and give the election to Donald Trump. This puts us all in danger.
Godsdammit.
For all you lurkers out there:
I would have never said one critical word about Bernie Sanders if he and his followers had played fair from the beginning, had not whined about "the system being rigged against them," had not bitten the hand that feeds them, had respected the rules, and had not condoned sending emails, tweets, and voice mails full of lewd language and death threats to Democratic women who dared to support Hillary. Instead we have an upcoming clusterbomb of a National Convention courtesy of Bernard Sanders and his minions and they are working as hard as they can to make it so.
JURY: This is a protected Group and this is my personal opinion.
Arrrrrgh. 
I love the DNC's response to this rather lame and silly challenge http://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-dem-primary-live-updates-and-results/2016/05/bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton-convention-allies-223685
"Both Governor Malloy and Representative Frank were elected by the Executive Committee of the Democratic National Committee on January 22, 2016, pursuant to the Call for the 2016 Democratic National Convention, Article VII(F)(I)(the "Call"
," the chairs wrote in response. "Your challenge does not allege that there was any other cognizable violation of the Call in the conduct of their elections, the Delegate Selection Rules for the 2016 Democratic National Convention, or any other rule or regulation of the Democratic National Committee in their selection."
