 I lost a lot of respect for Bernie Sanders when he got railroaded in 2016 and he still endorsed Hillary which showed me he ain't based at all. Ron Paul refused to endorse Romney because he stands for something why he was so beloved. Bernie probably got paid off as well for a communist he does love easy money.  
 I don't think he was paid off, I think he was threatened and he bent the knee because he didn't have a choice.  I was there, in Philadelphia, in 2016.  I know how that system works.  It was ugly. 
 Doubtful. He is not based. If he was threatened he wouldn't be so friendly with them.  Not a prinicipled guy.  Always attacking the rich but the man lives in a McMansion. Typical communist. 
 what did they threaten him with? 
 Greater good 
 Greedy communist. 
 true, hes not principled, but rather more a consistently delivered brand
