he is no longer relevant. HE LOST. With every action of gracelessness, with not wanting to admit that he lost, he shows how relevant he no longer is. The more he does things like this, the more everyone sees that he is nothing more than a sore loser.

As to coddling his followers, that needs to come to an end. Losing candidates concede. There have been some exceptions, even recently (Hart and Kennedy), that come to mind, but they were DEMOCRATS, whereas Sanders is really NOT a Dem. He shows it every day, how much of a Dem he really isn't.

And then, there's this thing I've seen for a year, of saying he's the new FDR, comparing him to Gandhi and MLK. He's NO FDR, nor is he in the league of people such as Gandhi or MLK. They won't take off the blinders, and we need to, as a party, not be cowed by belligerence from these people.
