What's the argument against this from the left? Is it Trump hyperbole, maybe, but is it?

It is obvious from what’s happening and what happened in 2016 that many Dems unite against Sanders But regarding the video above, we must ask is Sanders accusation valid? If it is, then Bloomberg is wrong. If it’s not, then Sanders hurt his credibility with anyone who looks into it in an unbiased fashion

Right now it's not, it's just moderates rallying. As long as the vote counting and delegate awarding is legit, there is no issue. But if we start seeing that crap again, Bernie supporters (not me) will make the DNC pay in November or more likely after. We all passionately want to beat Trump, but we want a party that listens to us and is fair to us too.

Think you actually have to be in power for someone to pull a coup.

Let’s see if he can or even will try to back up his accusation

Let Sanders back up his accusations with data, and then he can turn it around on Bloomberg if Sanders is right. Let’s see what Sanders does

The strange part on all of this is that, it is my opinion that the only Dem candidate that can actually defeat Trump IS Sanders and here he is sticking up for him on Twitter.
Sorry I am hijacking

Sorry I am hijacking No, you’re good. He’s almost turning Sanders into a martyr, which is not the best idea. You made a good point

I kinda thought Sanders was already a martyr after the last go-around. BpG, I know Sanders was supposedly the candidate that polled better vs Trump last time... but we also saw what polls were worth, didn't we? And even if that was the case before, is it still now? Point is... do we really know that Sanders is that guy? I have serious doubts, but that's just my gut talking (and I just finished lunch...).
There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

I legitimately think that Bernie has a grassroots base of understated followers that cross political boundaries like Trump did.
I voted Trump and the prospect of a Trump/Sanders ticket is a win/win for someone like me, which is wild. Either one of those would be preferable to any of the other Dems (Sans Tulsi).
