When will the party have a talk with Bernie and Jane?

[redstatebluegirl]

He is one angry guy right now. I liked him and could see voting for him up until a couple of months ago. He is crazy angry right now, my feeling is he is weakening Hillary with his constant attacks. Can't the party do something?

Maybe I am being simplistic, but I swear he should lose any power he has been given in the Senate after this fiasco.

[tonyt53]

1. Won't happen, He has never been a part of the Party, so they could care less

But he sure is one angry person right now and might have the big one if he doesn't step back. His face looks like he is about to explode. Oh, and that "power" thing. You can count on it. He hasn't helped the first Democratic Party candidate running for the Senate. I guess he doesn't know that for anything to get done, it will take at least a Democratic majority in the Senate. His followers are not voting for downticket candidates either.

[Agnosticsherbet]

5. He caucuses with the Democrats, and actually has chaired committees.

He could be told to caucus with the Republicans, who would not give him anything to do but vote.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

8. I think he could very well lose his chairmanship of committees unless the Dems are desperate

for his vote in a close senate. It has happened before to people who do not play nice.....

[anotherproletariat]

9. They won't send him to the dark side, but there's talk about taking away his committee memberships.

I asked this very question to my senator in March when my poli sci class visited D.C. She assured me that the vast majority of super delegates were firmly behind the 'established Democratic candidate' and that they were not only becoming angry at 'someone' who claimed to be a new loyal party member bringing so much division, but they were planning to write into the platform a new time requirement for anyone wanting to run in the presidential Democratic primary.

[Walk away]

24. That's great news. We never want to have another Bernie Sanders infiltrating the Democratic party!

He has taught us all an important lesson. Populism really means mindless greed and unchecked power at either end of the spectrum.

[BlueMTexpat]

38. A new time requirement before someone

runs for President as a Dem is something that Bernie's candidacy has shown is VERY badly needed and I am delighted to hear that this is being discussed and will - hopefully - be implemented at a VERY high level. I know that I myself have written to party officials whom I know and have worked with recently as well as to my Dem Senators and Rep about this. I have been literally irate with the Sanders campaign's behavior since the shenanigans in NV. Things have quickly gone downhill from there.

No one had ever dreamed that ANY Dem candidate would ever act so much like a GOPer as Bernie has. What a disillusionment his candidacy has become! What a shame!

[George II]

33. He should caucus with himself. He's rapidly becoming persona non grata in Democratic circles.

[William769]

2. When they can find a interpreter & also one that teaches math. nt

[redstatebluegirl]

4. Agreed!

[Cha]

14. Rep James Clyburn said on msnbc/bsnbc today that "..BS knows the math is against him.. "

Short Synopsis.. You have to see it, though!

"BS knows that Math is against him and we're going to have her as our nominee.." "burnie has to understand that Hillary has been First Lady of Arkansas and the United States, a US Senator, SOS.. all these years, all these relationships as a Democrat."

".. burnie should not expect us to feel the same way about him as we do about her.." AMEN!

IJames Clyburn! poor burnie

34. Math and English pronunciation - I lost my Brooklyn accent by the time I was about 15, even though..

...I still lived in the city.

He's been out of the city for about 45 years, still sounds like he lives in a Brooklyn ghetto (oh wait, there's no such thing as white ghettos! )

Living in and around NY all my life of 68 years, I've never heard anyone talk about "Wall Shtreet", "eshtablishment", etc.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

3. If they try

Bernie will wag his finger at them and call them establishment lackeys.

[Cha]

15. As he sits there being the biggest hypocrite on the Planet.

[IamMab]

6. It's still a democracy. The party can just let the process deal with Losey McLoserface.

He'll end the primary with less delegates and votes, and his "contested convention" will last one round and be over. Personally, I'd love it if some cameraperson gets a reaction shot of his face when Clinton is affirmed as the nominee.

[Cha]

16. How about this one.. similar?

burnie mad

[Fla Dem]

31. Perfect Cha! Don't know why he felt he was so entitled to run as a Democrat, an opportunist

that's all he is. Took advantage of the DNC's voter data, got exposure on the DNC debates, didn't campaign for even ONE down ticket Democrat, or run any fund raisers for other Democrats. Lets face it, he never would've gotten all the media attention he's received if he'd run as 3rd party candidate. He's a grifter, leech and a pimple on the ass of the Democratic Party.

[Cha]

35. Yep. I think he's the "trojan horse".. got in the party by a ruse that he

wasn't going to run a negative campaign.. and that's ALL he's doing.

Now he's whining the Dems don't like him.. duh, burnie.

Have you seen this, Fla Dem..

Vid of James Clyburn schooling BS..

39. Love it, Cha!

[Cha]

40. He looks all pouty and getting ready

to throw a major blow out tantrum..

[Walk away]

25. I hope the get Jane in the shot!

[4now]

7. All they have left is their anger

[skylucy]

10. I noticed that Bernie was visiting Mount Rushmore today. He is so full of himself, I'll bet he

was looking at the mount and imagining his bitter, angry face chiseled between Teddy Roosevelt and Abe Lincoln.

[Koinos]

20. An angry beet on Mount Rushmore?

[StayFrosty]

11. After Tuesday

When Hillary takes Oregon, even Jane won't be able to deny that they should pull the plug on their zombie campaign

[Walk away]

26. I doubt that will happen. Oregon is Bernie country.

It doesn't make much of a difference in the numbers.

[Maru Kitteh]

12. I don't think he's weakening her but he is making the party look like we have

stockholm syndrome or something. The party really needs to tell him to fuck off. The President and Joe Biden have both tried very nicely to tell him it's time to go. Dude can't take a hint for shit.

[Cha]

13. BS is weakening himself.. he's his own worst enemy. He thinks he's weakening Hillary but

she's stronger than all the BS put together attacking her.

[Stuckinthebush]

17. That's the truth!

The longer he drags this con on, the more weaker he becomes. He's losing his position and influence.

Good riddance, I say. If he stays in the Senate then he will vote with the Dems regardless of assignments. But, I hope we put a real Dem against him in VT. I'm sick of his bullshit.

[SharonClark]

18. My dream is that Jane runs against him

Let them destroy each other.

[Tarc]

19. It'd be like an ouroboros of angry, white fist-shaking

I'd love it

[Koinos]

21. Would they be filing separately then?

[Walk away]

28. Ha!

Something tells me they will be filing separately pretty soon anyway. They don't look happy together at all!

[Koinos]

30. Bernie tried to shift blame for tax problems to Jane.

Filing jointly makes him co-responsible.

It turns out she has a financial "history" that causes Bernie even more problems.

But he has actually profited from her "extra" income.

She may soon be looking up at the underside of the bus.

Bernie is a party of one, after all.

[Jitter65]

22. they aren't going to "talk." They really don't care. And I really believe Bernie will NOT do

everything in his power to defeat Trump. He just says that to keep his coalition together.

[kstewart33]

23. It would be like talking to a wall.

The party would be wasting its time.

I envision that Bernie will disrupt the Democratic convention. There will be demonstrations outside the convention center and inside.

The party needs unity at the convention and Bernie won't provide it. The Republicans will love it, and there will be little or no convention bounce in the polls for Hillary.

That's the Bernie legacy.

[BootinUp]

27. The party has a chance in closed primary Oregon to do that. nt

29. Logic and rational are not words I would use to describe either of them.

Look at GD . BS supporters can post whatever the heck they want without so much as a slap on the hand. I referred to Jill Stein as something you flush down the toilet and got a time out.

If they're anything like their most devout supporters, they're no talking to them.

[Koinos]

32. Their goal is political chaos and destruction of the Democratic party.

They don't want to reform things; they want to blow things up.

Their strategies are logical with respect to their goals.

These same "strategies" appear illogical to people who have "saner," humane, and more productive goals.

[LisaM]

36. I am so tired of that!

Why is it all right to criticize Hillary with impunity but no one else?

[LisaM]

37. I used to like him, now I can't stand him.

I can't recall any other politician ever having that effect on me just through his or her campaign. My first inkling of his nastiness was when he was confronted in Seattle by two BLM activists and totally lost his s**t. I had friends who'd stood through a couple of hours of a rally about Social Security just to see him and he just walked off the stage and left without speaking. Red-faced, of course.

[grossproffit]

41. OMG! Me too.

He disgusts me.
