Why are Bernie and his surrogates running his campaign with Republican strategies?




Where's the tough but straight forward presidential candidate, pushing forth platforms, policies and differing methodologies for getting things done without Republican-positioned imply by omission, spinning the facts tactics?

The sitting President is the head of the political party Bernie chose to adopt. 

Similar to Republican 2016 presidential candidates, Bernie questioned President Obama’s leadership during an interview implying that the President was, somehow, responsible for the gridlock in Washington which was created by the Republican Congressional Block Obama Brigade!?!?! (See Bernie Sanders questions Obama’s leadership and Republican obstructionism links below.)

Outside of health care reform, Bernie, virtually,  omits his adopted Party leader's lead and accomplishments towards  rescuing our country from complete economic collapse, record-breaking job growthcollege affordability, raising the minimum wage, equal pay, Wall Street reform, consumer protections from predatory lenders,  and President Obama's call for the Republican Congress to pass legislation to advance his Middle Class Economics Agenda. 

There is no shame in Bernie's adopting President Obama's principals and initiatives to promote his revolution, but at least give credit where credit is due!  (See White House middle class economics, college affordability, Wall Street reform, tax code, Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, consumer protection agency and President Obama has done a lot links below.)

Then there are these, pesky,  Republican-positioned spinning the facts tidbits from the Sanders Campaign: 
  1. Claiming that Bernie supports Democrats while raising campaign money, solely, for himself and not contributing to the Democratic Party’s down-ballot political campaigns - a standard campaign fundraising practice conducted by all Democratic presidential candidates - past and present -  including Hillary!
  2. Aiding and abetting the media’s wishful thinking attempts to sow the seeds of Democratic voter discontent regarding delegate counts. Bernie  brags that he won 7 out of 8 of the last caucuses and one primary without mentioning that Hillary won more primaries than Bernie, accumulated more pledged delegates than Bernie as a result of those primaries and accumulated 2.5 million more votes than Bernie! (See Primary Results link below.)
  3. Playing both sides of the super delegate coin proclaiming that the Democratic Party’s super delegate structure is unfair while at the same time courting super delegate votes proclaiming that his latest 7 out of 8 mainly caucus wins merit super delegate support despite Hillary's pledged delegate plurality!?!?!  
  4. Falsely claiming that Hillary accepts campaign contributions from fossil fuel PACS and corporations when, in actuality - just like Sanders' fossil fuel campaign contributions - Clinton’s oil and gas contributions come from people who work for oil and gas interests not oil and gas interests PACS or corporate headquarters! (See Sorting out Hillary Clinton’s fossil fuel contributions link below.)
  5. Blaming the Democratic Party for his operative’s being caught conducting a Democratic Party campaign breach accessing voter data belonging to the Clinton campaign!?!?!
  6. Distributing campaign propaganda falsely accusing Hillary of being beholden to Wall Street while not being able to show any evidence that it’s true and not mentioning his legislative vote supporting Wall Street deregulation!?!?  
  7. Slamming his adopted Party leader's policies by trashing the policies of the candidate who represented that leader's policies - the President's former Secretary of State?!?!  (See Why Sander’s Claim that Clinton Isn’t Qualified Blew up and President Obama has done a lot links below.) 
Revolutionary indeed!
