Sanders is officially a laughing stock.

[RandySF]

The man who was never a Democrat until 2015 and will not be Democratic nominee in 2016 has now set the laughable condition that he gave a say over the Clinton Cabinet. All after finishing further behind in delegates than Clinton in 2008. This is not a revolution. This is a cranky old man resentful over not getting the prize he cherished. He can go back to the Senate, or Veemont and take his conditions with him.

[scscholar]

1. If he was, why is the Party giving him....

so many committee seats?

[iandhr]

26. Carrot and stick.

They can say take this or he will get put on crap committees with no authority when he goes back to the Senate.

[CajunBlazer]

100. Those committee seats can easily be taken away after the electrion

What the Senate Democratic Caucus bestows, it can take away.

[kaleckim]

106. Yeah

Just that the corrupt health insurance lobbyist Howard Dean were to be elected and take his place. He'd surely be a net benefit, and would in no way be swayed by health insurance companies.

[cherokeeprogressive]

2. He'll get what he expects to get.

[sheshe2]

78. " HE'LL GET what HE EXPECTS to get."

Lol! Awesome and very forceful. He da man.

[cherokeeprogressive]

91. He da man.

[sheshe2]

95. Obviously.

He da man da man demands, cause he da man. Ha!

[cherokeeprogressive]

105. Those were your fucking words, NOT mine.

Own that.

[Joe the Revelator]

3. You know what's really laughable?

The man who was never a Democrat until 2015 and will not be Democratic nominee in 2016 has now taken Clinton to the ends of the Primary, still has a following, and has made Clinton change her message. Talk about a laughing stock, right?

[karynnj]

13. better summary than the OP

It is completely amazing that someone who was regularly above 60% and even up to 70% for 2 years before the race really started will end up having taking longer to clinch the race than almost all other races.

To some one her supporters mocked as a 74 year old socialist from a small state.

[pangaia]

14. Clinton s the biggest laughing stock and worst Democratic candidate in my lifetime..

which has been looong...

[Demsrule86]

32. She is not the worst

The candidate she beat like a drum and is about to take to the woodshed in California Bernie Sander is obviously the worst candidate since he lost.

[rock]

69. Hammer meet nail

[Demsrule86]

131. hehe

yeah if she is so so bad ...what does that say about their candidate?

[840high]

96. My voting started with

JFK and I agree with you.

[apcalc]

126. I think she's great...one of the best Democrats ever.

[seabeyond]

19. He lost forever ago. Just confirms the OP.

[Joe the Revelator]

20. if that was true he wouldn't still be here.

Look at the repubs for confirmation. Money dries up. Support waivers. Not so here.

[seabeyond]

24. Uh... He lost forever ago, and yet, here he is.

[Joe the Revelator]

28. About that....

[sheshe2]

52. Jurrasic Park

Wasn't that about dinosaurs? Hmmm~

[Scootaloo]

67. Actually it was about playing with forces beyond man's control

Basically a version of "Frankenstein" that you can take a 7 year old to without any problems.

[sheshe2]

70. Confused here???

Why is Bernie playing with forces beyond man's control?

Please explain.

[Scootaloo]

72. Who said anything about Bernie? I thought we were talking about the theme of "Jurassic Park"?

[Raster]

86. Nice!

[Demsrule86]

33. the money is drying up.

He will soon be gone from the primary scene and the GE can begin...and he will be very broke....I think.

[insta8er]

48. Don't worry, we will send him some more. Meanwhile the Hillary folks like to talk, but not

spend their money on her.

Here is Sanders fundraising take, 99% individual contributions!

[insta8er]

44. BAM!!!!!! and polls better against Mr. Orange face all day long 15 POINTS!!

[SheilaT]

61. You said it so much better than I could have.

Thank you.

[oldandhappy]

4. at least you made it official!

[wendylaroux]

5. lol,officially? oh noes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

6. Absurd. You guys need to stop flipping out.

[Sky Masterson]

7. Maybe to you

I find Hillary's delusions of elect-ability hilarious.

[NWCorona]

8. U-mad

[Eric J in MN]

9. Bernie Sanders never said that. It was a reporter's speculation.

Reporter Jonathan Martin told Jake Tapper that he thinks Sanders will want to choose Clinton's cabinet.

It was ridiculous speculation based on nothing.

[AgingAmerican]

12. The truth is to Hillary supporters what garlic is to vampires

IMHO.

[Bonobo]

23. Seems more like the OP is officially a laughing stock. nt

[Raster]

88. It's Official!

[JudyM]

138. Zactly, Bonobo.

10. Hillary supporters are a laughing stock due to their thin skin and apoplexy

11. You better check your sources before you embarrass yourself further. Unless you enjoy

Spreading lies....

[Chasstev365]

15. Have you EVER posted anything productive?

You're the laughingstock for helping Trump with your relentless attacks on Bernie and his supporters that do nothing but alienate fellow democrats.

Go back over your posts and name one time when you have ever been anything but a Clinton cheerleader?

It's time find common ground not divided us with stories that aren't even true.

43. Attempted BS hide fails.

[CajunBlazer]

101. There are a lot more Hillary supporters on DU now

In addition, Skinner's warning may have some thinking twice before the hId innocent posts

[panader0]

18. "officially"? Really? Who The F are you to decide what is ofiicial? Some special official?

He's by far more of a true Democrat than anybody on any ticket.
Please cite your "official" source or STFU.

[KelleyD]

27. We will see when he runs for reelection if he runs as a Democratic Canidate or goes back to run Indy

[tazkcmo]

34. I'm sure he'll run as an Indy.

In fact, he's already registered for his re-election as an Indy. I'm also sure he'll be elected by a large margin again. I'm also sure the Democratic party will be The Incredible Shrinking Party in 2016.

[Gothmog]

87. It is too late

[Vattel]

21. More dishonesty. We get it, you don't care about the truth.

[Cheese Sandwich]

37. "Sanders demands control of the cabinet" is the new "Sanders supporters throw chairs and bottles"

Truth matters very little to some people.

[CajunBlazer]

103. You don't get to define "the Truth"

[floriduck]

22. WOW! Your transparency page says it all. See ya.

[moriah]

58. There wouldn't have been a transparency showing except IMHO one totally stupid hide.

Describing a state like Kentucky as "lily white and racist as hell" is pretty damn accurate.

[TheKentuckian]

75. I'll be sure to let folks know they are white and racist when I knock on doors in Newburg.

I'll pass this on to my friends, family, and coworkers too just as soon as I get it through my head that I'm white and racist as hell as well.

[moriah]

76. Look, I'll say the same about my own state of Arkansas.

Now, if you agree that that there is a less diversity and way too many people loudmouthing racist shit in both, then we can agree to disagree in the appropriateness of the comment on DU, but acknowledging the truth of where we live.

[TheKentuckian]

84. Sure, I've been to sunset towns and such. I grew up a mixed kid during the bussing blowup

but the comments still seem dismissive to me like me and people I know and love don't exist. It doesn't help that dumbass folks almost always some ignorant white person has declared me as white and yes racist by some weird ass default

I also tire of certain folks talking about nothing but demographics. What the hell happened to people being more than the color of their skin or the sum of their sex organs? Are we no longer human first? Some folks have gone down the rabbit hole so deep our personhood has been reduced to nothing but census numbers and I don't think that is a formula for moving forward but rather going backwards because it is dehumanizing.

Would I have hidden it? No, but I'm reluctant to hide most thoughts even those I vehemently disagree with and may well have a spicy comment as I let it stand.

[Warren DeMontague]

120. Well, his shitty OP about Sanders supporters needing to "put their bongs down" deserved one yet

Somehow escaped.

So it probably balances out.

[moriah]

137. I would rather the people considering Gary Johnson put down theirs.

I have no problems with pot and think Colorado has the right idea, particularly if the growers essentially unionize/create trade ordganizations to ensure no gigantic corporate takeovers. (Tobacco is the truly evil weed, but if you compare the quality of tobacco in commercial cigarettes to the quality of well-grown and processed/preserved tobacco done not by Big Tobacco, there is a world of difference -- yet people still buy the crappier stuff rather than legally grow their own because it's available at every gas station.) Ditchweed is probably all Phillip Morris could ever grow, but people might buy it.

But I hear far too many people saying vote libertarian because they want weed legal.

If that's a person's position, I have to restrain myself from forcibly removing the pot from their hand and instead putting a copy of the Libertarian Platform in their hands. I restrain myself, but....

[Warren DeMontague]

139. And yet, we could undercut that entire half of the L "appeal" just by doing what we ought to anyway.

Prohibition doesn't work.

As far as legalization, the people set and ready to move forward producing cannabis products that consumers actually want, aren't the Philip Morrises, they're the folks who have been working with the plant for decades despite facing prison time, etc.

Those are the experts, and if you look at what has happened where pot is already legal, those are the people in charge of the "industry" as it stands.

So maybe the question should be flipped around- is defending a morally defunct AND failed policy; the drug war- really so important it's worth losing those voters to the Ayn Rand Yarblockos of the Libertarian Party?

And if not, then why not do the right thing- supported by a majority of Americans, btw- and come out for legalization, period, full stop?

See, the philosophical turf where I come from, "liberal" has always meant leaving consenting adults alone to make their own decisions about their bodies, lives, and bloodstreams. That IS the liberal position. Imagine my shock when I found "liberals" who were against equality for LGBT citizens, or reproductive freedom, or ending the drug war, or the right of the terminally ill to make their own end of life choices, or were in favor of boilerplate religious right inanities like censoring internet porn?

Why the everloving FUCK some people on our "side" would want to cede personal liberty issues to the (L) party, will always be beyond me. And I will go to my grave not apologizing for that stance.

But beyond that, the objectionable OP in question had nothing to do with the Libertarians. It was about Sanders supporters not "putting the bong down long enough to register", derp.

[moriah]

140. Yeah, prohibition sucks.

But until we at least get it out of Schedule I, ststes will not want to pass even medical laws. Docs need that protection. If that's all we can get through in the big push after the next legislative session starts, it's going to help a LOT of people.

It's just concerning when people won't read past "they want pot legal!" to how they want abortion illegal instead.

[Warren DeMontague]

141. Half the states have already passed medical laws.

I dont mean to keep hammering on the same point, but i live in a state where these ideas arent academic- the democratic party stands for not just reproductive freedom, but end of life freedom, marijuana legalization freedom and the freedom for people in pirate garb to go to vegan strip clubs or watch clown porn.

Perhaps coincidentally- and perhaps not- our party controls all state offices and enjoys a massive registration advantage, and the libertarian party here is little but an extremist right wing joke.

Lastly, the move from I to II is the absolute bare minimum HRC can come out for, and it still does nothing to resolve the conflict between federal and state laws.

[moriah]

142. I'm in a state that hasn't.

And can't afford to move.

If it's not Schedule I, the doctors at least can prescribe if they choose without losing their DEA licenses. That's still a danger for doctors in states with medical regulations, and obviously part of any legislation to remove it from Federal DEA Schedule I status must give states the right to regulate production and dispensaries under laws they pass/have passed.

I want more than that, obviously, but if it's all we can actually manage in the 2017-2018 Congressional session, it's going to be better than leaving things muddled for more than just recreational states.

[tabasco]

25. Clinton is a laughingstock for polling behind DONALD TRUMP.

Any decent, competent candidate, like Sanders, polls far ahead of the New York con man.

[KelleyD]

29. We will never know how Bernie fairs cause he is not our Candidate!

[tazkcmo]

35. He's ahead of Trump in the same polls.

But you knew that already.

[Demsrule86]

132. Completely meaningless

and to be expected when he gets a break from the evil GOP types and she is bashed nonstop and of course Bernie attacks Hillary...and I should remind you those polls where he is ahead...include Hillary voters who would vote for the Democratic nominee...so as you can see, the polls are meaningless.

[tabasco]

41. fares n/t

Fairs, that is...

[Warren DeMontague]

121. You mean "fares"?

Bernie Fair sounds like some sort of giant party in the desert with lots of ecstasy.

30. Do you have a link to Sanders making this statement? nt

[Cheese Sandwich]

55. Just another "chairs were thrown" statement :( nt

[Raster]

92. Of course not. Sanders said NO SUCH THING.

[ReRe]

31. Randy, Randy, Randy...

... you should do a little research before you say Bernie is a laughing stock. Bernie is exactly the type of person that a rank and file Democrat was like about 25-30 years ago. Bernie Sanders is a liberal Democrat and has been his entire life. He hasn't changed. It's people like you who have changed. You laid down with dogs and got up with fleas and it has apparently affected your brain.

Just go find the news clip you based this whole tirade on, will you? Bring it back here and edit it into your OP so we might possibly understand WTH gave you all this confidence to say these things in such a public forum about a Democratic candidate for President.

[Warren Stupidity]

36. Funny thing, I commute down a crowded highway everyday.

This is the NH MA border. I see a lot of bumper stickers at the 5mph crawls. You know what I don't see? I don't see *any* Clinton stickers. You know what I don't see? I don't *any* Trump stickers. You know what I see a lot of? Yeah. That's right. The primaries in both states have been over for months and there are still tons of people driving around with Sanders 2016 stickers on their cars.

So keep laughing. Keep calling us names. Keep treating Sanders like a clown.

[Trenzalore]

47. I barely saw a Romney or McCain sticker but sure saw a bunch of Ron Paul stickers in elections past

[DisgustipatedinCA]

38. You don't know what the word official means, do you?

Every word you type carries meaning. It's good to know what they mean.

[Scootaloo]

40. You know, there's a line between "being wrong" and "actively lying."

For those who are wondering, RandySF is referencing this tweet from CNN's Jake Tapper:

Reporter: Sanders wants say over Clinton cabinet picks

It comes from this video, where New York Times correspondent Jonathan Martin speculates that having a part of the platform "won't be enough" for Bernie Sanders.

That's what it is. Meaningless opinionating from a dude on a daytime news panel. It is not a statement by the Bernie team, it is not substantiated by anything, and there is not even a case made for the opinion. It is completely Jonathan Martin shooting his mouth off.

Maybe RandySF, you ought to check your argument before proclaiming someone else a laughing stock.

109. You don't know the difference between "Platform Committee" and "Presidential cabinet"?

RandySF's post:

The man who was never a Democrat until 2015 and will not be Democratic nominee in 2016 has now set the laughable condition that he gave a say over the Clinton Cabinet.

The WaPo Article:

The senator from Vermont was allowed to choose nearly as many members of the Democratic Party platform-writing body as Clinton, who is expected to clinch the nomination next month. That influence resulted from an agreement worked out this month between the two candidates and party officials, the party announced Monday.

Clinton has picked six members of the 15-member committee that writes the platform, and Sanders has named five, the Democrats said Monday ahead of an expected announcement by the Democratic National Committee.

How about you back up and try this one again, VOX?

60. Why? Sanders is spending that last few weeks of his campaign lying to his supporters.

Just because they can't accept that he's lying doesn't change that fact.

[Scootaloo]

65. Because it's the facts behind this latest nonsnese

I can see though, that you'll buy any old garbage that gives you a cover for the real reason you hate Bernie.

[baldguy]

71. And the anti-Clinton folks will believe any RW garbage that comes down the road.

And make no mistake: it's all RW garbage. The only real disturbing part is that Sanders - the liberal knight in shining armor - feels the need to regurgitate it.

After Clinton puts this campaign to bed, and after Sanders loses his Senate seat due to his shenanigans, I'm sure Fox News will have a place for him.

[Scootaloo]

Bernie is well respected, in our country and outside this country. He has had a historical fundraising record. He has very high favorables. He is basically a very well liked man--except in "certain" circles.

79. The man who was never a Democrat has made your arrogant Queen go begging for $$$ from Republicans.

Can't wait till your cranky old queen starts courting republican voters, too.

Then again maybe most of her fans will be fine with it - since they don't seem to care too much about coups, using children as pawns, all her lies and cheating, etc.

[bkkyosemite]

80. Constant insults.

[Bluenorthwest]

81. How the fuck is your opinion 'official' and not just agenda laden gas?

Nonsense, as usual.

[kaleckim]

82. "He can go back to the Senate, or Veemont and take his conditions with him."

Yeah! He should learn the play the game. See, Clinton doesn't give a damn about actual issues or people, so when she conceded (days after the convention, when it was even clearer than it is now with Sanders that she wasn't going to be the nominee) she got that sweet State Department gig. She brags about not caring enough about issues to demand a thing policy wise, which she and her followers think is just fine for some reason.

Take your caring about working people and the poor, the environment and future generations to the new state of Veemont Mr. Sanders! We've got out nominee. She's deeply unpopular, is now all but tied nationally and in key swing states with the only nominee that is more disliked in polling history, is not trusted, polls much worse than Sanders across the board and is under FBI investigation. We've got this, and it's her turn. All that.

[CajunBlazer]

99. I'm hoping someon like Howard Dean runs against him in Vermont

I would contribute generously to Dean's campaign

[kaleckim]

104. Yeah, brilliant

The state would certainly vote against the most popular senator in the country and in favor of the corrupt health insurance lobbyist. Perfect example of what the Democratic Party has become. Great idea. Start up the movement, the two dozen people you eventually organize will change the course of the state.

[slipslidingaway]

110. Dean, biologics and a longer period for pharma companies to profit while people die. :( nt

[CajunBlazer]

113. Right this minute ai would spend good money on anyone who would oppose Sanders

Even in Vermont Sanders can't win without Democrats backing him and he's pissing off a lot of Democrats.

[slipslidingaway]

116. Wow, sounds like real hate for one person and blind allegiance for anyone???? Good luck ...

many people are not as committed to a letter or party, have you looked at the number of independents.

More people are committed to issues and realize that we need the majority of people to be secure in order to sustain our nation. A shrinking middle class for decades does nothing for the long term survivability of our nation.

[CajunBlazer]

123. Quit trying to change the subject

We were talking about how Sanders seems to be bent on trying to destroy the Democratic Party's chances of winning the general election if he doesn't get his way. When one acts like a pouting child bent on getting his way, one should expect repercussions.

[Scootaloo]

112. Or you could donate that money to a charity to rebuild Haiti

You'd still be losing money, but without the sensation of wasting it!

[TCJ70]

83. The "laughing stock" that got 43% of the Dem primary vote. N/t

[CajunBlazer]

124. Reality check - it takes 50%+ to win

[TCJ70]

125. I didn't say anything about winning. N/t

[CajunBlazer]

129. 90% of the 43% of Sanders voters will readily vote for Hillary

whether Sanders supports her or not.

5% of the 43% will never vote for Hillary whether Sanders supports her or not.

This means that Sanders is relatively a non-factor in the outcome of the general election. However, when a person thinks he is more important in an outcome than he really is, its called over playing his hand, a huge mistake in politics as its in poker.

Sanders is definitely not important enough to be able to insult the Democratic Party and its leaders with impunity. The sooner he realizes the better. If he doesn't he should be told to take his ball and go home. Then after the election the Democratic caucus in the Senate should strip him of his Senate chairmanships and committee assignments, especially if they don't need his vote to form a majority. Then he can truly a man without a party which is what he has always claimed to be. If you act like the enemy, you should be treated like the enemy. Enough of BS's BS.

[Gothmog]

85. Sanders is upset that Hillary Clinton is winning and now is making really stupid demands

This is a very stupid demand to make

89. He didn't make it, is the thing

See my post, #40. It's nothing but an opinion from NYT's John Martin.

122. He already has a say -- cabinet members are confirmed by the Senate

Considering that there's millions of us that will be paying attention to his praise or critique of cabinet nominees, and giving our senators flack if they want to confirm flaks, why whine?

I find it ironic that when a politician exercises power on behalf of a powerful corporation or wealthy contributors that supported them, it's considered just normal politics barely worth mentioning. But a politician like Bernie exercising a little power on behalf of his supporters – – the ordinary people that supported him? -- that's considered unusual or extreme?
