Bernie Sanders jabs back at Jerry Brown, ‘Democratic establishment’ ~ (HRC GP)

[Her Sister]

EMERYVILLE
Bernie Sanders on Tuesday jabbed back at Gov. Jerry Brown’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton in the presidential campaign, saying he is accustomed to opposition from “the Democratic establishment.”

“I will tell you that in every state that we have gone into, we have taken on the entire Democratic establishment,” Sanders said in response to a question about the Democratic governor’s endorsement. “It’s not surprising to me that, you know, we will have the Democratic establishment supporting Hillary Clinton.”

He added, “I like Jerry Brown, but people can make their own choices.”

One week before California’s June 7 primary, Sanders stopped for reporters in a hotel hallway after leaving a news conference without taking any questions.

When pressed, he said of the event with members of the California Nurses Association, “It was more of a rally, but what’s on your mind?”

Sanders continues to campaign furiously in California, despite Clinton’s near-lock on the nomination. After spending time in the Central Valley in recent days, the Vermont senator said he has not studied controversial proposals to increase pumping from the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. He gave a similar response earlier this month.

“Actually, it’s not an issue that I have studied,” Sanders said. “I mean, I think clearly there’s going to have to be more federal, state and local cooperation in a crisis situation.”

1. Career politician calls another politician part of the establishment.

Look in the mirror, Bernie.

[Cha]

10. That's what I said downthread.. "BS is the Establishment.. he's taking on himself.. pass it around."

13. Really!

Mister "The only regular paycheck I ever got came from state or federal government" is crapping on one of the most popular governors in CA history?

[George II]

18. And probably the most progressive governor ever to be elected in ANY state!

2. 7 more days.

It's starting to look and feel like CA is going to be another OH, NY or PA for Bernie. Maybe not as large of a margin, but he's definitely hyping it up to the extent that he won't be able to show his face if he loses. Completely neglecting NJ, a place that he needs to win big in as well. I wonder if he is going to end the night in Vermont.

8. Let's put it this way...

If I was a member of the Press Corps covering Senator Three Bills, I would have bought a plane ticket home weeks ago, when you could get them cheaper...the last time Bernie threw a snit after losing a primary, he stranded a LOT of people.

[MADem]

15. They have a lovely DC home.

Congress isn't enjoying recess just yet--he needs to go back to work. So does his pal Weaver.

[SaschaHM]

17. Part of me thinks that he will resign in 2017...

He's not going to be able to sit on the backbench anymore and make speeches. He's going to be expected lead and that's clearly not his forte.

He'll take a job at a liberal think tank and frame it as "continuing his revolution".

[MADem]

20. I think so too, for several reasons;

1. There's a lot of usable oppo research out there, some has been published, but there's probably plenty the RNC has on ice. He could see a challenge, and VT is a smaller universe of people to convince.

2. He's had to move away from some popular VT positions to appeal nationally.

3. He can't make big money making corporate speeches if he stays in the Senate.

4. Same deal with writing a book--no cash for himself.

If he quits, he can find himself rich as hell in no time--ask Sarah Palin.

Only problem with that scenario is if Clinton asks him to serve as, say, Secretary of Labor. Then he would have to delay that book/speech deal for four to eight years, depending on how long he wants the job.

3. Sounds like Bernie is having meetings with his Nader Nurse's Super Pac!!!

Isn't that against the rules? What's on YOUR mind Bernie??

[charlyvi]

4. If Brown is Establishment

Sanders clearly doesn't remember the '90s. Or doesn't want his followers to.

[displacedtexan]

12. Establishment? Brown's girlfriend used to rollerskate in the governor's mansion.

Her name is Linda Ronstadt, and she lives in my neighborhood.

[skylucy]

14. If Linda was still singing she would be performing one of her big hits for

Trump..."You're no good! You're no good! You're no good! Baby, you're no good! Let me say it again..." I loved Linda and her StonePoneys!

[WhiteTara]

5. When do you think he will start studying any of these issues

Is he waiting to lose at the convention so he won't have to learn anything new?

[sarae]

6. LOL

probably! Not only will he not need to brush up on issues, he also won't have to release his taxes...

[beachbumbob]

7. An angry old man doing what come naturally blame others...accuse others

Sanders didn't get the reputation of not playing well with others by being gracious or generous...turn on brown..sanders followers going vicious on brown....shaming all of us

[Cha]

9. I predicted this last night.. BS is the Establishment.. he's taking on himself.. pass it around.

Why are they saying "near lock" on nomination? what part of the Math don't they understand?

Thank you for this, HS~

[riversedge]

11. Oh, stop whining. Jealousy is not an appealing trait.

[dlwickham]

16. Jerry's under the bus

[eastwestdem]

19. The problem is, for a guy who just became a Dem 10 months ago, everyone is "establishment". nt

[wisteria]

21. His go to word for everyone who doesn't support him or his ideas.
