So now you are making demands on the Democratic party leadership and platform. You have enough followers to maybe sabotage the party which might get Trump elected.You want to throw Barney Frank out of his position in the party. Really? Barney Frank has better progressive credentials than you do, Bernie. Personally, I don't think your "reforms" are so great. TPP and NAFTA will create more American jobs than they will lose. Free trade is a good thing. You don't have to annihilate Wall Street. It serves a real function. It just has to be educated to behave and share more. As for foreign policy, it would be nice if the US didn't have to get involved in other countries disputes, but unfortunately as the world leader that's not possible. It just has to be done with common sense and diplomacy. As for the US policy toward Israel and the Palestinians, "even handed" is buzz word used by people who don't like Israel and tilt against it no matter what (like "second amendment rights" for the NRA). I agree that the present elected Israeli government panders to settlers who put Israel at risk for the sake of nonsense, but it is the lack of compromise by the Palestinian leadership that has driven the Israeli public from left to right.
Hillary,
I would suggest taking Elizabeth Warren as your vice president to pull in the Bernie Sanders people with or without Bernie.
