I hope you are going to make a much stronger stand, Bernie.
Ya know, to kind of start to make up for all the trashing you did of HRC during the primary?
That was an incredibly milquetoast pitch.
I had been wondering where “do everything I can to defeat Donald Trump” was. Let’s see if he lives up to that, so far - no.
Good first baby step, Bernie. Now say it again with feeling and add on to vote Democratic on the down-ballot, too.
Irony deficiency much from Mr. Independent?
Don’t rule it out: Bernie Sanders (slightly) leaves door open for Green Party run with Jill Stein
Next time, with FEELING, Berns…
Not good. Data I have seen suggests that Millennials are needlessly going third party. That third party support does nothing but help Trump. Only a person incapable of rational thought would do this. I am talking both about Sanders’ tepid pitch and the persons to whom he is speaking.
There a couple of other explanations which come to mind
- Lack of understanding of mathematics
- Zealotry
And I believe it’s Door Number Two
Better than nothing, but not much.
Yea Bernie … that’s it —
Take a little break from bernieland … It’s gotta be tough on you out there —
I wonder how long the vacation will last —
Hopefully the first of many appearances where he drives this point home. He and Elizabeth Warren are campaigning at colleges in Ohio this weekend so hopefully that’s the start of a wider tour.
Just in case anyone here is interested in what Bernie actually said in a 10+ minute interview, not just the 10 seconds TPM quoted.
ETA: Just to be clear, I’m not criticizing TPM’s choice of quotes,I just suspect that some of those complaining about the alleged insufficiency of his remarks may not have actually watched the rest of it. Or maybe they did, and still thought he was making a half-hearted argument, in which case we just disagree.
With all due respect, everyone already knows what he’s going to say. The point is where and how he says it.
Good thing so many millenials watch Morning Schmoe.
Screw Bernie Sanders!
If not for him and the more frenzied of his fans, this crap about Hillary’s honesty and trustworthiness would not be a part of this conversation. Hell, Trump quotes him in his campaign speeches! And his constant harping on the paid speeches during the primaries played a large role in the talk about corruption that we hear today.
I hate Bernie Sanders more than I ever hated Joe Lieberman. He took the most liberal generation in American history and turned 1/3 of them against the Democratic Party. Most of those folks would’ve voted for Hillary albeit unenthusiastically, but who cares? She still would’ve had their vote. How many other Democrats in down ballot races are struggling because they’re “establishment”? Once this election is over, I hope to never again hear of this awful, egotistical creature.
Well, it was New Hampshire the other day, and it will be Ohio this weekend, and in both cases I assume that is where the Clinton campaign wanted him to be. As far as tone, this was an interview, so I think his tone – calm but firm – was quite appropriate. I would expect more intensity at the rallies, and I think that’s what we’ll see.
These candidates talk out of both sides of their mouth. Bunch of narcissist all of them. With data showing 3rd party candidates are hurting Hillary and race tightening. With an unacceptable candidate like Trump on ballot. You’d think maybe just this election. Jill Stein might cut a deal with Hillary and say hey Trump is too dangerous. I am dropping out and supporting Hillary. If she isn’t as far left as we like in 4 years. Go after her in the primaries…
As far as Bernie he made it clear how unacceptable Trump was after the DNC. I have barely seen him out there campaigning since the DNC. Bernie is more concerned about climate change then anyone? Well Trump thinks it’s a hoax. So does Bernie really care about climate change is it more about him? Maybe Bernie is thinking ya know Hillary struggling here. If Trump wins and after he f_cks everything up. I could run and win the DEM primary in 2020. Meanwhile I believe Trump will cause a bad recession and believe I will lose my job if this happens. So I will kinda be f_cked. But hey Jill and Bernie care about America soo much.
After the DNC Bernie’s supporter that African American Princeton U Professor told Bill Maher when discussing Hillary. He said if you had a choice between Trump or David Duke who would you vote for? Maher was like get outta here. But this gave me insight into Bernie’s supporters and is why I never supported Bernie Sanders. I would vote for Bernie in a sec over Trump.
Too bad I and other NO TRUMP EVER Voters seem to care more about America then these candidates who really could help make sure Trump loses. Put your ego’s at the door and help Hillary win this election.
That was sorta apparent by at least April.
It’s safe to assume that millennial’s are highly focused on social media. Presumably Bernie has a huge database of his supporter’s emails, is he direct emailing his supporters to encourage them to support HRC? Is he going on Twitter / Facebook doing the same?
Bernie is at great risk of becoming the Ralph Nader of this election unless he really gets it in gear.
