Discussion: Sanders Avoids Saying If It's OK To Talk Monica Lewinsky On The Trail

““I have no idea in
what context Rosario was talking about her,” Sanders said. "But I would
hope that all of our people focus on the real issues facing working
people and the massive level of income and wealth inequality that we
have.”

Should be case closed, but you know the MSM Bernie.

The Sanders campaign has really jumped the shark between this and Weaver’s insistence on winning on superdelegates even if Hillary has more pledged delegates and popular vote. Dead campaign walking

Nothin’ reeks like desperation on Sunday morning talk shows.

But Hillary is the one not willing to answer questions, who always ducks the tough ones.

Sanders Avoids Saying If It’s OK To Talk Monica Lewinsky On The Trail

Shorter Trump… er, Sanders:

“This is the first I’ve heard of it.”
“I’ll have to look into it.”

No idea what someone spoxing for his campaign is saying to the press?
That’s some messaging discipline Sen Sanders.

If Bernie was the straight shooter that people portray him as, then he should have said something like this:

“We shouldn’t be talking about Ms. Lewinsky as part of this campaign unless she is doing something directly involved in it. What happened between her and Bill Clinton almost 20 years ago is a personal matter for the Clintons and has no bearing on Hillary Clinton’s campaign.”

The Republicans aren’t going to care and will use anything, including Lewinsky, to try to tear Hillary down…the fact that Bernie won’t stand against that speaks volumes about how his behavior has changed through the campaign.

Bernie & Co are imploding. Those two money-hungry campaign managers Divine & Weaver only want their big checks, Bernie is totally delusional and angry Hillary is dusting his behind and he can’t deal. I really hate to see Bernie at 74 years of age make such a fool of himself like this. I kept hearing people in the background saying that Bernie is NOT a good guy. Only a self-serving one. Well, that does appear to be the case. I know Barnie Frank lit into him something real good many years ago.

I wonder what loud mouth Dawson thinks of Bernie having his OWN little secrets hanging around out there like a son out of wedlock etc. Probably nothing.

Bernie should have said “No” and put this to bed right away. Because the question will now keep coming, until he does say no. It just deflects from his message of income inequailty and…um…income inequality.

If Sanders doesn’t shut this talk down right now, it’s going to cast a long-lasting black mark over his whole candidacy. No woman is responsible for what her partner does in private or is she to blame for his misconduct. I’m surprised that HIS wife is letting this become an issue.

“Avoids” in the same sense that Jeff Weaver accidentally appears hourly on MSNBC starting 2 days prior to a primary?

The Sunday talk shows were in full Bernie/anti-Clinton mode this morning. Despite getting trounced last week, Sanders is the one the MSM invited to appear on their shows. Shades of David Gregory fawning all over McCain after McCain lost badly to Obama.

Don’t know if I fully agree with what you are saying. The people in Bernie’s campaign will speak independently of him and they must be frustrated at this point.

What’s the story about Barnie Frank? I’ve never heard of it before.

Hillary probably doesn’t want to be on all these talking head shows. They just pick apart everything you say to be sensational. Bernie must feel he has to take that risk at this stage.

So he refuses to answer and that should mean case closed. That is good to know. Can we also say case closed on HRC releasing speech transcripts?

We’ve gone from “We’re tired of hearing about your damn emails” to Monica may be fair game. You’re losing the respect of many people who liked you before all of this. Keep going and you won’t be chairing shit when the Senate goes Dem.

Senator Sanders, just what is it you and the Mrs. are hiding by not releasing in full your last eight years of tax returns? Just what is your wife hiding with regards to her past employment and management at that college? – I hear it was she guided a LOT of college monies to family and friends, and that the payments to those family members and friends dried up the year following your wife’s dismissal. Also, aren’t there questions regarding your OWN campaign doing exactly the same thing? Personally, I think these are legitimate topics of discussion whereas President and Mrs. Clinton’s marriage is none of your business. Do you comprehend what I’m saying, Sen. Sanders?

Your date to the Senior Prom is going to stand-you-up.
The prom is 9 weeks off-- and you are denying you’re being stood-up-- though all the signs say otherwise.

Don’t even think about buying that dress now.

Actually, Barney Frank tore into him recently. Basically saying ‘Reform Wall Street? Where the Hell was he in 2009 when we were doing Dodd-Frank? Why wasn’t he piping up and saying anything then?’
