Why can't Bernie get endorsements??? No one likes him!

Hillary Clinton's list of endorsements is already impressive. The list is stellar! Sherrod Brown is the latest and on Saturday, the Longshoremen will be throwing her a rally while they officially announce their endorsement.

Bernie Sanders has been a lifelong politician but he can't seem to find endorsements. Maybe Barnie Frank can shed some light on Bernie's problem.

It certainly explains why the only endorsements he can get are Cornell West, Ann Rice and "The Nurses Who Hate Obama"!

Barney's got Bernie in a nutshell..

"It would be hypocritical of me to run as a Democrat because of the things I have said about the party." - Bernie Sanders

In his own words.

And I can't believe that adults buy into his perfection.

No one deserves the cult worship he is getting.

They are like tweens with their teen idol

Its just sickening...

The point is that he can't work well with anyone in DC or anywhere else. When they get to know him, people don't like him!
