Sanders is now officially a Democrat and in the Senate Democratic leadership, along with Senator Warren). And the comparison with Paul or Lee is off... it's better to argue that Sanders and Warren are more akin to John McCain. No, they don't speak for the Democratic Party as a whole, but they speak for a very large portion of it - who may be getting their choice (Rep. Keith Ellison) as head of the DNC.
