Sanders is mentally ill. Heāll take his two government pensions and ride off into the sunset.
āBernie Sanders is a good guy. Let Bernie run the race. Thereās nothing wrong with that," the Vice President added.
Does the VP know he is calling him and everyone else in government corrupt.
āMore aggressiveā? Joe, honey, heās not even trying to rein his brown shirts in, heās egging them on. As Josh Marshall posited, the rot starts right at the top with Bernie Sanders. He knows now he canāt win the nomination, and heās determined to take the Democratic party down in flames in revenge. Heās a horrid, evil old man. And to think I came very close to voting for him in the MA primary.
The irony will be if the Bernie revolution results in a President Donald Trumpā¦
While we are at it, please donāt believe the most absurd fantasy of all timeā¦ i.e. āā¦ Sanders can beat Trumpā¦ā I wonder who keeps this meme alive that Bernine, not Hillary, can beat Trump? The RNC is repackaging Trump
. He will be presented as the new Reagan. Americans are going to love it by November. They will trounce Sanders and label him a commie, and it will work, unfortunately. Just sayināā¦
Biden is exactly the kind of politician Sanders despises. From the world capital of corporate tax evasion and pimping, with the exception of perhaps Chuck Schumer, no one did more to advocate the special tax and legal protections that large corporations enjoy than Biden, because those protections result in major income for his state. (Just like Bernie helps gun owners because thatās what Vermonters love.) We all love Joe, but most of us wish he would reflect a bit before opening his mouth. Sanders deserves a spanking.
I do believe we can win this without the Sanders or bust people, because they usually do not vote in the first place. Coddling Sanders has done no good to this point. Just read what Tad Devine, who surfaced in the NYTimes today to describe the flight path of the Sanders kamikaze position, said.
Do you know that what you say is fantasy?
āAnd what Bernieās going to have to do if that happens again ā heās going to have to be more aggressive in speaking out about it.ā
BOOM! The Hound has been released!!!
Seriously, this is the Obama Administrationās way of saying āshape the f*ck up and get in line, or else!ā. This wasnāt done through back channels. It was out in the open, during an interview with the Media. And it wasnāt some functionary, it was Biden, the VPOTUS who did it.
Itās their equivalent of sending a horse head to Bernie HQ. Obamaās folks may use very soft words, but they carry a very used blood covered cudgel to back them up.
Sanders, you finally crossed the line pissed off Obama.
I appreciate his desire to stay classy in this. I would think a better response would be something regarding Sandersā main message being a good one and how Sanders is single-handedly destroying it.
I once supported Sanders because his main message about how the power of Wall St., Big Banks, money in politics, etc. was doing great damage to our democracy (something we see time and time again). He has said over and over how this needs to change, and I still think heās right. This message really resonated with me. But Sanders inexcusable behavior recently has threatened, if not already destroyed, his message. In the future, anyone speaking out on these issues will be linked to Sanders, his supporters and dismissed without further discussion.
Iāll bet many in Wall Street, working Super Pacs, etc. are really enjoying this self-destruction.
Gotta get that sweet, sweet donor cash. Also, the attention is nice after 30 years in relative obscurity.
Bernie Sanders is a good guy. Bernie Sanders is an egomaniacal ideologue. Those types are rarely good guys.
If anyone wants to know Sanders intentions for the rest of the campaign should read the NYT piece from yesterday titled āBernie Sanders, Eying Convention, Willing to Harm Hillary Clinton in the Homestretchā. I canāt link because Iām on my iPhone.
I see someone has already linked to the piece.
Instead of the chair throwers.
The issue is not that the Democratic Party is this or that. The issue is that Democrats have heard Sanders, and, while they agree on goals, they donāt buy his plan. Sandersā supporters need to come to grips with that.
At least Joe didnāt call him a ānice guyā because we all know that nice guys finish last. Conversely, however, last guys donāt finish nice. Since Sanders clearly has no intention of finishing nice, he is definitely a last guy. As in the last guy youād want to run against Trump.
Trump is already being repackaged as Reagan. Two days ago, Barnicle et al on Morning Joe were comparing Hillary and Bernie to Carter and Ted Kennedy in 1980. Plus, we all know what opponent Carter was hoping to get in 1980 because he was ātoo extreme.ā St. Ronaldus Reaganus Magnus.
So the comparisons are starting to germinate.
Bidenās āBernie Sanders is a good guyā sounds like Nixonās āI am not a crookā. The context makes it the total opposite of what he is saying.
I think Bernie and Ted Cruz are in a fight for the lucifer title.
Actually itās more a ābut Brutus is an honorable manā moment.
That, my friend, is not an irony. That is Bernieās goal.
It just seems Bernie is a very angry old man. Heās think everyone is corrupt except him of course. Everyone is bought and paid for except for him. He seems like he canāt understand he is promising all this free stuff and most folks didnāt fall for it. So I wonder who is he really angry at, the dnc, Hillary, or all the people he promised free stuff to that didnāt vote for him?
