Bernie’s Campaign Manager Throws a Bomb About Hillary and Young Voters

http://bluenationreview.com/bernies-campaign-manager-throws-a-bomb-about-hillary-and-young-voters/


As we explained, the NYT article is peppered with concessions that Bernie has, indeed, gone negative—but it is this paragraph that contains a stunning admission about his own view of his 2016 strategy:

Mr. Sanders’s advisers urged him to challenge Mrs. Clinton over accepting $675,000 from Goldman Sachs for delivering three speeches, according to two Sanders advisers. Mr. Sanders, hunched over a U-shaped conference table, rejected it as a personal attack on Mrs. Clinton’s income — the sort of character assault he has long opposed. She has the right to make money, he offered.
Let that sink in.

Bernie Sanders, according to the New York Times, agrees with what we’ve been saying for months: His Wall Street dog whistle is a direct assault on Hillary’s integrity.

So when he insinuates that she is not trustworthy to the Daily News and then pretends it isn’t a character attack, he is being disingenuous — to be charitable.

Bernie is not alone of course. His campaign and surrogates are out there blasting away at Hillary and her endorsers, even when those endorsers are civil rights heroes.


And now we have this cheap shot from Jeff Weaver:

"I'm not so confident about that." Jeff Weaver on whether Bernie's young supporters would come out for Hillary.

...sounds so cold, though; it makes it sound as though we don't care about them and, at least in my opinion, we should.

We should be wondering why they believe all of these lies and how to fix it (not that I'm sure that's possible).

New Yorkers are in shock over the interview Bernie gave. They seem very concerned and worried. I say, lets do that NY debate so people can see the contrast in regards to policy and plans

That's what Democrats do.

We don't need everyone to vote for Hillary. Just a majority. Obviously, Bernie or Bust supporters are not any kind of majority.

We don't need them to win the general election.

We have Republicans quite prepared to annoy the shit out of us - don't need any 'others' to join in (like they are allowed to do now).

Jeff Weaver will go back to selling comic books. I wonder if comic books affected his reality/fantasy meter. Maybe he thinks that Sanders is a superhero.

known as the generation who ushered in Donald Trump as POTUS.

If I were a Millennial I wouldn't want that dubious title.
