Mayor Pete blasting Sanders

[Highway61]

Mayor Pete and many others need to get a grip. Bernie is not extreme. What is extreme is the unfettered capitalism that presently exists in this country. Thus we have the extreme disparity of wealth and the absolute destruction of the middle class. Trump and the GOP are out to concentrate the nation's wealth even more. We don't need more of the same, we need a sea change in policy that will reverse the flow of the nation's wealth back to it's people. Thus we have the two progressives; Sanders and Warren, garnering the support of the majority of the Democratic voters. The people know what's going on because they're living it everyday and they are going to vote accordingly.
So, those who want more of the same (because they're wealthy and greedy or just woefully uninformed) start with the buzz words "socialists, communists, extremists". Labels meant to divide, scare and distract. After forty years of this economy for the elites the people now see through it and have had enough! Vote for progress and real change in November and send Individual One packing along with the entire Greedy Old Party.

1. Bernie needs the vetting.

[apcalc]

2. Pete is speaking from his experiences .

What most people feel is not reflected in the Electoral College.

I think Pete is correct about what will work and what won’t.

3. Good for Mayor Pete.

He is doing it for the good of the party.

4. He will cost my governor his job in NC

Cooper barely won in 2016 when Hillary lost here by just over 3 holding Trump to under 50. Sanders will lose by at least 10 with Trump at 53 or higher and Cooper can't over come that. By narrow I mean Cooper won by 10,227 votes out of over 4 million cast.

9. It will be a nightmare

Every Dem running for office, starting with moderate and purple and not to mention red states/districts, will be asked whether they'll support the "socialist" policies of the "socialist" Bernie Sanders. Whatever answer they give, it will be a trainwreck either for the presidency or their individual race.

5. Not a Pete B. fan....

But he's right on the money here.

6. Good. About time someone started vetting Sanders.

Hope it's not too late.

7. Right or wrong, Bernie will carry the socialist label, and I believe that is a political liability

in the general election

Highway61 is one of the great albums by the way

8. Pete

If Pete and amy would get out, maybe their supporters would go to Joe. Let’s face it, neither one of them has a chance.

13. If it was high school debate, he might get an A.

Carefully selected talking points delivered as he delivers them? Not a concern.

15. Buttigieg diminished himself with his petty remarks last night

He would have been better served by sharing his positive message and losing the “eeek a socialist” hyperbole.
