Bernie's Pressor..just now. Now we know his "priority" is to get elected President...

[Jitter65]

In response to a question about the issues affecting child poverty in SC Sen Sanders was asked what would his priorities be. His response was that his priority is to get elected President. I was stunned.

This is all I will say about that comment. What kind of headline would you expect to see all over the place and what kind of comments would you expect to hear IF Hillary had made the same comment in response to the same question?

Done!

1. Bernie Sanders chastised the Press for asking stupid poll questions while he was there to talk about

poverty.

[Jitter65]

7. The point is when he was asked about what HIS priorities would be (with respect to that issue) he

what he said. You just can't spin that to make it look like a stupid question by the press. It was a very relevant question and he could have use the opportunity to make a more substantive response.

2. What was the purpose of this presser?? Was there a purpose?

[restorefreedom]

6. to speak about poverty. too bad the press wasted it

asking him stupid questions about election math. guess we know what their priorities are

[riversedge]

12. Sanders called the presser-=it is his responsibility to speak up.

[restorefreedom]

14. and he did. he redirected to the subject and chastised the media. nt

[riversedge]

17. I was watching. Sanders let the media walk all over him. His message was garblied

[HerbChestnut]

19. Weren't you one of the ones...

Who criticized Bernie for staying on point during his Baltimore press conference? You know, when the press kept asking him foreign policy questions when he was there to talk about racial injustice?

9. Discussing an issue...But the media doesn;lt care about issues.

I wrote another thread about this....The media are asses, regardless of candidates.

16. Face time?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. To reassure his supporters all is not lost./nt

[restorefreedom]

3. no, it was a set up question about the "math" not being in his favor

obviously he can't do anything about poverty as president if he isn't president

lets be accurate, please...the corporste media wasted this entire press conference trying to convince bernie his campaign is over.

why don"t you ask THEM how important poverty is to them. we KNOW its importsnt to bernie

[HERVEPA]

4. To be elected so he could do something about the problems. But of course you knew that, didn't you?

[Jitter65]

8. But what is he hoping to do....just a hint. nt

[NurseJackie]

5. With regard to your query about Hillary ...

... people would likely be saying that "she's in it for herself" and "she's only interested in power" (blah-blah-blah... the usual yadda-yadda-yadda that we've already seen a million times before).

No doubt there would also be a liberal sprinkling of the world "oligarch" and "bankster" and "corporatist" ... the ones that have been so over-used that they've lost all meaning and are (for all "intensive" purposes) now regarded as little more than a punch-line.

Go, Hillary! We love you!

[Jitter65]

10. BOOM!! nt

[Armstead]

13. They have no meaning to you because you apparently do not care about them

[Armstead]

11. The Media Sucks to all candidates

15. Why are you still visible?

Gone

20. Priority - aka Step 1.

You can't just skip straight to step 2. You still have to go through step 1.

[mmonk]

22. So is the media inferring nothing can be done on poverty because it will cost too much?
