Sanders Denies Telling Warren Women Can’t Win | Talking Points Memo

" Sanders Vehemently Denies Report That He Told Warren A Woman Can’t Win WH"

And I vehemently deny that it is in the Dems/liberals best interests to be focusing on click-bait nonsense articles with anonymous sources whose gossip one candidate denies and the other candidate declined to even comment about.

Here his “MO” would be…telling Warren something directly that makes him look bad, but never saying the same thing on the campaign trail, or in public, or…

In reality-world, Sanders spent a lot of time campaigning for Clinton in 2016. Clearly he thinks a woman “can win”, given the result of 2016. This story is a clear lie, and Sanders has denied it.

This story is a desperate attempt to smear Sanders, made by people who have given up on honest politics.

And I’m still baffled as to how, even if I were to stipulate this story as true (which I don’t), anybody could call this his “mo”. What specific act are you pointing to?

I put $50 on Klobuchar at 34-1 and it’s working out great. Bernie is going down in a fight with Warren.

Whatever you can say about Warren, she didn’t have a full blown heart attack recently.

Bernie’s campaign is not having a good week, and it’s only Monday.

Haha…right? Oh yes, let’s talk about not supporting busing when we can use it to falsely paint Joe Biden as a lifelong racist, but let’s run for the fucking hills when it comes time to talk about how Bernie’s going to implement new busing solutions as promised to fix the lingering problem of passively segregated schools…

Disingenuous pricks. And it wasn’t just Bernie. It was all of them. Promise new busing or shut the fuck up. But they won’t do anything but pay it mild lip service because they know it’s fucking toxic as all hell for the general.

Warren has been under steady attack from places like CNBC and “news” sources that are not particularly paid attention to by political junkie types. She seems to be regaining a little footing as of late which may explain some frustration and desperation by Sanders. Bottom line is Biden has a good chunk of the African American vote and Booker followers aren’t going to Bernie, they’re going to Biden. I don’t know if this post makes sense but I think our current primary field is complicated. Why does my neighbor have a Tulsi sign on her yard? Vote blue no matter who.

“ludicrous” “lying”

You know how I would respond if someone was making something like that up about me? I’d smile and say, “Not true. Any American can campaign and win any election. That’s the beauty of America.”

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

“It’s preposterous to suggest that when Senator Warren told me she was running for President, I responded by saying a woman can’t win! I mean, what possible relevance would that kind of comment have to what she told me?!? Talk about non sequiturs!”

And people claimed “Bernie doesn’t have any dirt that can be used him!” Goes to show a lot of his fans don’t actually know much about Bernie

Last week,both Bernie and Liz took some shots at Joe Biden that don’t appear to have dented him. He didn’t respond to either. He’s been running in his lane since he announced last April. He lost some numbers in the polling after his announcement bounce and after the first debate but his numbers have been consistent since then and his fundraising improved in the last quarter of 2019. Bernie and Liz are left with trying to draw voters from elsewhere,mainly from each other. Not an easy task ahead for either.

I actually like Bernie, but the man just had a heart attack. Why the hell is he still running. I think most Warren/Sanders voters probably have the other one second. Just get out of the race and give Warren a chance. She’d probably be ahead of Biden if Bernie was gone. And his health will magically become the issue of the campaign if he gets the nomination. The media will suddenly care and claim it’s disqualifying.

Hard to dent mush. The more people that taste that Biden Pabulum, the more they will go elsewhere.

hahahahah yea that sure has been what the polls have said so far.

hahahahaha keep dreaming y’all. Biden is going to be the nominee so you might as well take a deep breath, pull up your socks and get the motherfucker elected.

He was my 2d to the last choice, too.
