He’s been rather grumpy lately. Perhaps the campaigning is finely getting to him.

Hmmm…Bernie has got to keep his cool…reminds of Ed Muskie when his wife was attacked…

I’m surprised someone hasn’t called out this Arpaio piece of shit sooner. This is another example how the lowest form of human shit can attain prominence in the Republican party.

“The fact that he crashed her meeting…”

Who was she meeting with?

I’m a little puzzled by this…a racist asshole tries to show up his wife, and you guys attack Bernie for it? Isn’t Arpaio the wrong party in this? What am I missing here?

I can see where Bernie wouldn’t like it, but if she’s visiting Sheriff Joe’s jail, it’s hard to say that he ambushed her by going up an talking to her.

He has been called out on, a lot. He is a well known bigot.

What do you think Trump is going to do with Sanders??? Clinton knows its going to be bare knuckles fight…it will be the dirtiest campaign in modern history…Trump set the tone…Bernie better expect worse…

Not to the Hillbots. Their primary programming is to bash Bernie at every chance. Now if it happened to Chelsea, their outrage routines would take the highest priority.

Not attacking Sanders. Just pointing out that trying to frame this as an ‘ambush’ is rather disingenuous.

All for calling Arpaio to the carpet. But gilding the lily in a photo-op stunt in order to try and pander for Latino votes in next week’s Arizona primary is the point I, and most others, have been making.

Arpaio is an asshole, no doubt about that. And nobody is defending him.

But she went to his outdoor jail on her own…having him show up is to be expected. You wade into the rat nest, you are gonna find rats. It was no ambush, as Sanders tried to portray it.

This interview however, is not good. Bernie didn’t want an interview, he wanted to deliver a stump speech, vague pro Latino phrases, blame Hillary for war in Iraq, curse her for having a super PAC taking money from Evil…his usually shtick. The reporter wasn’t playing along. You can see Sanders lose his cool as soon as the question is asked. And apparently, it was a slow burn he couldn’t let go of. So he had to snipe at the guy about “don’t you say I walked away”

Bernie needs to thicken up his skin a little. That interview was nothing compared with what’s coming. He can’t be losing his cool this easily.

You have got to be kidding. “bash Bernie at every chance?”

Look at this interview. The entire video is less than 2 minutes, and Bernie spends over half of that leveling attacks at Hillary.

Yeah, I don’t see anyone here attacking Bernie. The attacks that will come from the GOP side will make anything Hillary’s side has said, let alone these comments, look like an endorsement.

This is a purity troll who declared back in December he would never vote for Clinton and that the Democratic party is an embarrassment to him because his candidate will likely not be the nominee of a party he loathes.

Go figure.

I like Bernie’s message a lot. But, I have strong reservations about him being that messenger.

This does not look very “Presidential”, but angry old white male seems to be selling this year, at least to a plurality of Republican voters.

Sorry… But Bernie is a candidate for the highest office in the US — His reactions to difficult questions are not only relevant for discussion, but have a bearing on how some undecided’s will vote — Including ME —

And your reaction to the discussion, is a turn off as far as supporting Bernie —
