41. Exactly!

Ms. Fields is spot on. I have the exact same feeling about him. I was never enamored to begin with, but he seems to be getting caught up in something that has nothing to do with the idealism he espoused (however ham-fisted).
Feels like he bought his own hype somewhere along the line. And although I never found him very articulate or compelling, he is losing whatever light he was hoping to connect with. The campaign is losing badly, and they are showing every sign of being very poor losers. Mr. Sanders needs to stop his downward slide on a personal level, he can do nothing to stop it on a delegate level. He has lost his bid for the nomination, he needs to embrace whatever good he felt inspired him to attempt it in the first place. I am being generous here-- I never saw a bright light in him-- but I do seem him getting more and more negative in tone, in campaign, and in personal focus.
