Bernie only has himself to blame for alienating so many potential allies over the years with his belligerent, rude attitude. Barney Frank nailed it when he said this about Bernie:

Why would superdelegates line up to support someone who's treated them like shit and condescended to them for decades? Bernie should have thought of this before he ran for president in a party that has this type of system.

Trump only attacks when he's attacked first. Bernie is condescending and arrogant 24/7. Ted Cruz is a better comparison here than Trump, actually.
