In Serious Gaffe, Sanders Treats Opponent with Dignity and Respect


LAS VEGAS—In a major slip that may prove fatal to his Presidential ambitions, Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont treated his principal opponent for the Democratic nomination with dignity and respect on Tuesday night.

Calling it a gaffe of historic proportions, many political insiders were still scratching their heads Wednesday morning over Sanders’s bizarre decision to act toward his opponent as if she were a fellow human being.

“I chalk it up to pressure,” the political strategist Harland Dorrinson said. “Sanders has never been on such a big stage before, and in the heat of the moment he cracked and behaved with nobility.”

“It was one of those moments where everyone in politics was like, ‘What was he thinking?’ ” Dorrinson added.

Carol Foyler, a veteran political operative, said that Sanders has one more debate, “at the most,” to prove that his respect gaffe was just that—a regrettable but forgivable slip of the tongue, not to be repeated.

“Bernie Sanders’s behavior towards Hillary Clinton Tuesday night has raised some grave questions about him in voters’ minds,” Foyler said. “If he treats people with decency and civility now, what kind of President would he be?”

1. My thoughts exactly. I want an ASSHOLE for president, someone who has never

worked a day in his life!

Doesnt know a single human being who isnt rich other than the servants

This decent human being shit isnt going to cut it.

Not for me, by god I am a teapartier and I will not tolerate intelligence and maturity and honesty!

8. Country and Liberalism over personal aspirations!

.


This is just another indication of principles, he'd be the one who would sacrifice his political objectives to promote growth and recovery of this country. This is why he is better than any Republican, since they are all self-affecting.

10. I don't think he has political objectives. He

wants to do the right thing, and has his whole life. Whatever he's labeled with, that's a pretty awesome way to live. And here he is encouraging us and stuff! I adore that!
