Bernie Sanders Calls MEETING at His Home in Vermont Sunday to Discuss Campaign’s Future

[jillan]

3. There has been some insight into what Bernie has been discussing at these DC meetings with Obama etc

He is trying to figure out a way to get the populist wing incorporated into the Democratic party.

He wants us represented. And I believe he will not concede until he knows for certain that we will be represented.

Remember, all along Bernie said it's up to US not him. As he is winding down his campaign, he will make sure we will become part of the party.

LARRY COHEN: Bernie is not giving in. I mean, again, we are fighting with a—in the platform drafting committee on all the issues we’ve just discussed. We are pushing for reform of the party. He will be talking more to Hillary Clinton. They talked briefly Tuesday night. He’ll be meeting with her. The meeting with the president, the meeting with Senate leaders, what Bernie is trying to figure out is: Is there a way to have a Democratic Party that’s a populist party, and so that supporters, the more than 10 million voters, can be enthusiastic, not about—not just about the nominee for president, but also about where this party is headed, as opposed to feeling like this is a party where, you know, the voters are taken for granted and it’s controlled by the people who raise the money?
