Forgot his tax returns again?
Bernie’s becoming irrelevant, HRC no longer needs his endorsement. Because,Drumpf is scaring the shit out of everyone and alienating GOP leadership.
Step one in moving your cause forward is accepting that you lost the popular vote, suspending your campaign for the nomination and endorsing Hillary Clinton for President.
But this combative, intransigent refusal to do so is what is creating an environment where your supporters viciously slander and attack Elizabeth Warren on Facebook for the crime of endorsing Clinton.
You are now damaging your cause. What you fail to see is that many Clinton supporters support your “cause” of moving the Democrats to the left, but you are pushing them away by acting as if anyone who backs Clinton is the enemy. Get over it, suspend and endorse then move forward.
“Super delegates! … Super delegates! … Get off my lawn!”
Just in case it wasn’t clear before, now we know why nobody who actually worked with the guy was willing to endorse him. It’s not because the Evil Clinton Machine was threatening to eat their first-borns. It was because he’s an intransigent old fool suffering from the delusion that he has a monopoly on wisdom, and from an infantile petulance toward anybody too stupid to follow his bidding.
Luckily, I think Clinton is smarter than the TPM commentariat. There’s a big difference for the party if Bernie supporters come in as happy campers versus coming in as grudging anti-Trumpers. The triumphalist attitude of TPMers is idiotic. The Republicans aren’t going to hand us a Trump every year.
Hey, Bernster! I hope you have fun sitting on the john in the men’s room reading a newspaper during the Democratic convention, because you sure as fuck are not getting a speaking slot without that little endorsement. It’s over, despite what delusions of grandeur Susan Sarandon and Jane-Not-Jetson are whispering in your ear.
He’s an angry old man who may be senile. He’s fighting for a change in the Democratic platform, which means nothing.
He lost, and he can’t deal with it.
So in the end it is all about Bernie and not some glorious, strike that, vainglorious revolution.
Ok it is official Bernie’s persona has been taken over by Oscar the Grouch…maybe we can get Larry David to promise Bernie a cameo appearance on the soon to be released new season of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” as Larry’s long lost twin brother who had been living under a covered bridge in bucolic and colicky Vermont all these years.
SAY IT, Bernie.
So long as Sanders remains a candidate for President, I’m going to ask where are his tax returns (beyond 2014) that he has repeatedly promised to release to the public?
Oh, FFS, Bernie. < smh >
Nope, they didn’t hand us one in '08 or '12 and we managed to do just fine. In fact, in '08 Democratic turnout was higher. So, let’s not pretend Democrats can’t do this without Sanders.
I’m rather disappointed in his announcement. He lost, it’s time to move on and forge a path together.
Move on Dude…just about everyone else has.
Same here. No reconciliation from me until Bernie unequivocally quits and endorses.
I’m sick of this deflection of “the important thing is to defeat Donald Trump”. NO. The important thing is you say “I RAN, I LOST, AND I ENDORSE THE NOMINEE I RAN AGAINST AND LOST TO, HILLARY CLINTON…AND WILL DO EVERYTHING TO HELP HER BEAT THE REPUBLICANS”.
“Despite Sanders apprehension to drop out of the race, his campaign is no longer actively courting superdelegates, his campaign manager told MSNBC on Thursday.”
Superdelegate: “Hey, Bernie, tell me again why I should vote for you. Bwah-hah-hah!”
Once he let HRC win in CA without his help his stock crashed. The guy is a sore loser. And where does he come off demanding that the Democratic Party do this or that when he is not a Democrat?
We had a great candidate in '08 and '12. And I personally don’t give a damn about Sanders one way or another. It’s his supporters I want to see as an active part of the Dem party.
