Because a ton if people have worked hard all their lives and they dont need Bernie asanders to come in and tell them how its done, especially considering that he coulnt get crap done ecause he couldnt work with anyone. As he keeps demonstrating.

The next time you do something really meaningful, that took a long time I expect you to give credit to someone else for doing it, someone who has been bashing you at every turn ..and do it with a smile because only the results matter, right?
