Discussion: Clinton, Sanders Reportedly Stop Calling To Congratulate Each Other On Wins

Oooh, Democratic civil war! Next they’ll be posting unflattering pictures of each other’s spouse.

Both-sidesism plummets to new depths.

THIS is why politico is the Teen Beat on the Potomac. Completely meaningless BS to try and make into a fight.

I heard Justin didn’t call Ashley last night, and I saw him talking to Chloe in the halls. They are breaking up, totally.

Eh. :unamused:

"He’s very happy to do the right thing, whatever the right thing happens to be,” Tad Devine said.

Kinda like the Black/African American quandary. Whatever the hell you say you're wrong, so screw it. Just turn out the lights, turn off the phone and stay in for a movie and popcorn on the sofa.

Hillary suspected something when her St. Paddy’s Day card read Erin Go Bi-ach…

On one side, we have the GOP who seem to exist in their own reality, and think nothing of turning their campaign into a misogynist, member-measuring contest. 'Murica!

On the other side, we have two candidates who did not demonstrate the same level politeness that they did at the start of what’s been a model, almost completely issues-based campaign that historians and poli sci types can study for how… boring it is (from a reality-TV show standpoint).

Yep: both sides do it.

Oh snap! Every bit as significant as the Taylor Swift-Katy Perry beef!

Okay, wait, maybe not, as the latter is a real thing even if it’s unclear whether the animosity is genuine or contrived by their publicists.

OH MY GOD!! Seriously, guys, this is huge.

The DC press corps absolutely determined to do a “Democrats in disarray” story. The Washington Post had a piece today saying the Dem convention might be messy too. Just like the Republicans, you know.

Because BOTH SIDES ARE THE SAME/BOTH SIDES DO IT/THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE.

Once again, Politico swings and misses. This is really a nothing-burger of a story. Pathetic attempt to start some shit when as usual there’s no there there.

The funny thing is, they even admit as such in the final paragraph. It’s like you read the whole article, and it ends with, “On second thought, don’t pay attention to this story. Thank you for your time.”

It’s just because there are so many of them.

As long as he doesn’t smack her by mistake during their next debate due to his wild gesticulations while she is talking we’ll be fine. But seriously, that man needs to learn to respect the woman he is running against and politely wait until she is done… I don’t care about victory congratulation calls.

As if their throats aren’t hoarse from talking to thousands of people every day, gushing platitudes, barely knowing what city they’re in, praying for bedtime, and when the morning light comes streaming in they’ll get up and do it again (h/t Jackson Browne).

Glad to see so many here recognizing this “story” for the great big fluffy nothingburger that it is.
