Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumBS surrogate Nina Turner is on Chris Matthews right now LYING HER BUTT OFF.
I just KNOW Elizabeth is telling the truth. Bernies actions when running against Hillary still hurt my heart. He didn't support Hillary like he should have. I feel he was trying to MAKE HER CHANGE HER MIND ABOUT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. He feels HE IS ENTITLED TO BE PRESIDENT.
Crud, we don't need this fighting crap. DEMS NEED TO FIGHT AGAINST TRUMP!!!!!

(58,785 posts)this a question of character. Not his brightest move.
After all, ane has a reputation for integrity and specifically honesty.
The other has hired a whole pack of vicious attack dogs because there just aren't enough hours in the day for one to do it all alone, and because the really "good," openly nasty and blatant attacks just don't come across as "presidential." It was actually one of his hired guns who was told to say Warren was lying. Same thing, and the press know it.

(17,600 posts)That's exactly the vibe I'm getting. I'm sick of it.
To me his failure to help Hillary win in 2016 is disqualifying in this election.
Whatever nonsense his supporters might want to throw around here, I know many people IRL who supported Bernie, and I heard from too many of them that they couldn't sully their lily-white conscience by voting for Hillary. His failure to CHANGE THAT ATTITUDE in his supporters is what I feel shows him to be a shitty leader. (or a shitty person)

(5,007 posts)And yes he said it. Elizabeth is not lying about that. Im not sure if he believes it. I think he was trying to discourage her because she is in his lane. He did not know if she would take some of his base. If someone like Klobuchar told him she was running I doubt he would say a word.

I can see what Nina Turner has said over the past years and how she has hurt some STRONG DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES with her innuendos and lies.
Don't you treat me like my opinion doesn't matter because i don't "support" Warren or Sanders with a picture up her.
I do support them ..... IN THE GENERAL ELECTION WHERE ...... ALL ...... OF OUR VOTES MATTER

Mike Nelson
(9,954 posts)... he tried to discourage her from running because he felt she might cut into his voting bloc. Neither Bernie nor Nina ever take my advice, but he should admit he said it, praise Hillary Clinton for showing a woman could win, and move quickly to a policy issue. He would do himself a lot of good!

(1,812 posts)Even a Warren staffer is admitting that Bernie's account of the conversation in question is closer to the truth than the account coming from Elizabeth ...A source cited by the Washington Post said that Bernie did not tell Elizabeth that a woman could not win The Presidency ...In 2015 , Bernie urged Elizabeth to run for President Why would he do that if really believed a woman could not win The Presidency ..Even Mika ,Joe Scarborough, as well Rev. Al Sharpton, don't believe Bernie said that ..They are no big fans of Bernie , not in the least . As mayor of Burlington , Bernie addressed group of very young elementary school kids; telling the girls that they have as much right to run for President one day as the boys . .

The stuff about Bernie being entitled is pure projection from old Hillary voters. Possibly the dumbest thing being said in this thread.

(4,921 posts)than Clinton supporters voted for Obama.
Sanders did his job. So did his supporters with their votes.
But, hey, don't let pesky facts get in the way of your hatred for Sanders and your "knowing" that he isn't telling the truth.
I really love how the discussions on DU are all about having a unified front and not letting stupid things split up the party until it comes to something involving Sanders and then it's all bets are off. Stay focused people.
