How I helped elect Donald Trump President
by
Senator Bernie SandersHe doesn’t matter anymore, but he thinks he does.
Bernie’s right - he is “disturbed”.
Careful, Bernie, the foam is starting to show at the corners of your mouth.
Is it just me, or is Bernie’s self-righteousness getting REALLY tiresome?
“I think it’s a little bit insulting to the people of California…”
…to insinuate there’s anything left to debate-- because one candidate can’t afford to campaign there.

I’m not sure you can back out of something you never went into in the first place.
Nah…it’s just insulting to you that you can’t get free publicity from Faux News because you don’t have any money left to run ads or do anything in CA.
All you guys that are hell bent on demonizing Sanders in every way possible, you just don’t get that it goes beyond the political. This isn’t about personalities or petty partisan stances any more, it’s way beyond that. We’re talking now about the very future livability of the planet. Whether it’s Sanders or not is not the issue. He happens to just be the only one speaking out on the most important topics at the moment. No other candidate is speaking so much truth to power. No other candidate has the guts to speak out on climate change and the banks and the military industrial complex. So go ahead and make fun of him all you want, but 3 years from now when there’s another banking crisis, or your favorite beach is 3 feet under water, or your local water is too tainted to drink from the tap, or there’s 2 more wars of choice raging in the Middle east, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
If you go to many public meetings of local-government officials you see people like this regularly. If they don’t like the outcome of a decision they complain about it at tiresome length, never taking no for an answer, and making silly little penny-ante arguments about side issues because their main argument is simply they wanted things their way. Eventually they run out of steam and sit the hell back down. They’re not popular, these people.
Perhaps Bernie didn’t get the memo, but Democrats don’t think much of Fox News. Actually, no one who thinks much thinks much of Fox News. Maybe Bernie should be more concerned with figuring out why Fox News wants him to be the Democratic nominee.
If Drumpf should somehow win, Bernie and his supporters will absolutely own the upcoming destruction of civil rights, women’s rights, labor laws, environmental protection and climate change rules, minority rights and the economy. And the implementation of a very right-wing Supreme Court that will dominate and destroy many of the basic tenants of the nation. All the things that Bernie and his supporters are supposedly in favor of will quite likely be destroyed. It is unequivocal that it will happen if Bernie supporters do nothing to stop the narcissistic bully Drumpf.
Because nothing and no one supports all those “important topics” quite like Fox News.
Having listened to many of the debate thus far between Clinton and Sanders, I can tell you their policy positions in these areas are not far apart and in most cases the same.
No, it’s not just you. It’s also the millions of people who backed a candidate that they convinced themselves was unstoppable, and are having a months-long period of cognitive dissonance because 10s of millions of people just don’t see her manifest superiority and keep voting for the other guy, the guy who strikes them as more trustworthy, and more likely to address metastasizing wealth inequality, continuing lack of access to healthcare and healthcare cost, and unaffordable higher education.
What is wrong with all those voters?
3 years from now…I will be blaming Bernie Sanders for making Donald Trump President…
Well, as Clinton has changed her views over the years to fit what’s popular at the moment, that’s probably true. At the moment.
My friend it is you who seems to be missing the point. There isn’t a person here who didn’t think Bernie’s message was important when that was what he was pushing. But the minute that things did not go his way he started screaming the system is rigged. ( Hint Bernie if you are going to run as a Democrat in the Democratic primaries learn the rules) So he ran into to the gutter instead of sticking to his strength - policy. he started BS’ing his supporters telling them there was a way to the nomination when there clearly was not. Far too many of his supporters became abusive obnoxious. So in the end it was no longer about what Bernie believes policy wise it was all about Bernie. He has no leadership skills which has clearly been shown during the campaign and for all his truth to power telling he hasn’t a chance of getting any of it done. Why? Because he has no leadership skill. Constantly yelling at everyone is not leadership nor is it a good way to convince the unconvinced you are right.
Bernie appears brain dead. Progressives are a minority in this country, sad to say, but he’s subverting progressive ideals by continuing his crusade.
I am going to assume you have never changed you mind about something overtime.
