Bernie is certainly not one to tell someone else not to moan--he does more than enough

himself (and whining and complaining about everything under the sun). Sanders needs to take his own advice!! and stop the complaining and whining--it is sickening.

Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday asked MSNBC anchor Andrea Mitchell not to "moan" about Hillary Clinton's "problems" in the presidential race.

In a Wednesday interview, the anchor pointed out that presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has used some of Sanders' rhetorical attacks on Clinton against the former secretary of state.

"Donald Trump has just been hammering away at her. Up until now, he hasn't been going after you. She's fighting two big candidates and you're fighting one," Mitchell said.

"Oh really? Andrea, in every state that we have won, in 19 states, we've had to take on the entire Democratic establishment. We've had to take on senators, and governors, and mayors, and members of Congress," Sanders said.

He added: "So please do not moan to me about Hillary Clinton's problems."

Sanders added that he could've taken more personal shots at Clinton, but instead focused many of his critiques of her on concrete policy issues...................

is to keep referring to all the malicious things he hasn't said or isn't saying or wouldn't say.

It is a tactic of subliminal messaging, whereby the negative is implanted in hearers' minds while, at the same time, denying that this is being done.

He did this in his mayoral, House, and Senate campaigns as well.

He is not a good person.

In a normal conversation. No wonder he has his rallies with his usual stump speech and never does the personal one on one events like Hillary. He can't handle personal conversations and who wants a president like that? He's a cranky old man who will mystify me forever as to what his appeal ever was???

sarcasm and comments. He's boring and arrogant. I can see why his colleagues haven't endorsed him. He'd be miserable to work with.

I doubt it.

Could you imagine if Hillary had used the word "moaning" to describe Sanders’s complaints?

Bernie needs to listen to the wisdom of President Obama who said recently:


“Change requires more than righteous anger. It requires a program and it requires organizing. Passion is vital, but you have got to have a strategy...If you think that the only way forward is to be as uncompromising as possible, you will feel good about yourself, you will enjoy a certain moral purity, but you’re not going to get what you want...[but] instead a downward spiral of more injustice and more anger and more despair, and that’s never been the source of our progress.”

His campaign is really just getting pathetic.

Thing is Bernie in the general would be toast in about 3 days. He has not had any hard challenges from the very skilled Swiftboaters from the right. They can make a war hero look like a coward--what do you think will do with an old socialist from Vermont?

Yes, the Moaner in Chief has moaned again about losing the nomination race. I watched the interview and St Bernard looked and sounded like a cranky old man. He has yet to explain rationally why he should be awarded the nod for . . . losing, not only in pledged delegates, the reviled super delegates but by popular vote. Three million more people voted for HRC than St Bernard. And sorry, the argument made that somehow he's the stronger candidate against The Donald simply doesn't wash by the candidate who has yet to go through the Republican Meat Grinder, death by a thousand tiny cuts.

But I love the insinuation that Andrea Mitchell is a cheerleader for Hillary Clinton. Ranks right up there with Rachel Maddow being a corporate shill when she notes the inconvenient math to the St Bernard Brigade

The delusion, the Magic&Light show continues but will soon be OVER. Thank God!
