I'm going to be forward thinking (Progressive) and congratulate Bernie Sanders on becoming Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee after the Senate is majority Democrat next year. Ever hopeful that the voting goes that way. Have a good weekend, everyone.

They made a deal, until sanders broke that deal. Sanders, "she's being funded by Wall Street."
Clinton camp, " how dare he break our deal! Unleash hell on his ass!!! Unleash the DNC and all our attack dogs!!" - "he attacks us with false claims , so we're unleashing hell on him."

Ahahahahaha! Which is it? The system was rigged against Bernie? Or he was in on it all along? Or is it both!
Well, lookee here. Even when faced with the fact that Hillary is a shady and vindictive SOB, her supporters will still defend her shady ways and point the finger elsewhere.

Ask for posting this, it looks just so familiar... where have I seen it before...
Oh yeah, in the dem party thread. Great minds think alike.
I didn't want to put a sarcastic post in a genuine thread. No shit the DP needs a profound change in the way they do business. Anyone can tell you that.

Bernie Sanders: Trump already breaking campaign promise to ‘drain the swamp’
Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) on Tuesday took aim at Donald Trump’s inclusion of lobbyists and industry executives on his transition team, blasting the president-elect for going back on a campaign promise to keep special interests out of Washington before he has even stepped foot in the White House.
“Mr. Trump described himself as a populist taking on the establishment, someone who would ‘drain the swamp,'” Sanders said. “Unfortunately what we’re beginning to see is what I feared, which is a lot of what Mr. Trump said to get votes is not what he intends to do as president of the United States.”...
Sanders was named chairman of outreach during a closed-door Senate Democratic caucus meeting Wednesday morning.
In the role, Sanders will be in charge of reaching out to blue-collar voters who flocked to President-elect Donald Trump this year.
Sanders told reporters that he has a "heavy responsibility to help shape the priorities of the United States government."
"I'm going to do everything that I can to make sure that the budget that leaves the United States Congress is a budget that represents the needs of working families and a shrinking middle class and not billionaires," he said.
Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) said Sanders was brought into the leadership to better represent the different factions of the Democratic caucus in decision-making.
"We want to expand on that, and he will be reaching out to all our allies," she told reporters. "We have a tremendous amount of talent in our caucus and we want to make sure everyone is contributing."
Sanders, however, will not have a top-ranking position in the leadership.
Incoming Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) installed Stabenow as chairwoman of the Democratic Policy and Communications Center (DPCC) — the job Schumer held in the 114th Congress as the third-ranking member of leadership. The DPCC chairman has traditionally been in charge of coordinating the floor and messaging strategies.
Sanders will keep his post as the senior minority member of the Budget Committee, which will give him a high-profile platform in the next Congress, when Republicans are expected to use the budget process to repeal ObamaCare.
Sanders mounted a fierce challenge to Hillary Clinton in the Democratic presidential primaries, winning more than 20 states before eventually conceding and endorsing Clinton. He frequently campaigned for her and against Trump in Midwestern swing states.
Sanders is one of three new members to the Senate Democratic leadership team. Schumer has also tapped Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) to the leadership team, which has 10 positions.
Baldwin will serve as Senate Democratic Conference secretary and Manchin will serve as vice chairman of the DPCC.
As Sen. Sanders said, "Our job is to encourage every person in this country to get all of the education they can, not to punish them for getting that education."

If only his voters voted for him.....
