Bernie's 60 Minutes interview created a half dozen TV ads for Trump campaign

The Castro answer was extremely disastrous. One nice thing can be said about any authoritarian regime. Literacy Program? Seriously Bernie? Yeah, and Mussolini kept the trains running on time. My God, what a horrible answer.

The “nickel and dime” comment on Medicare for All was another horrible answer and a made-for-TV ad soundbite.

We are hurtling toward the abyss as a party.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Flipped to Blue in the 2018 House Victory. I can imagine they would be more in danger.

sanders said in 2018 that he didn't see us winning the House back..

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) thinks there is reason to doubt the predicted "blue wave" in next month'

I thought I counted more. But be prepared for push back from the Bernie crowd. The meme is Bernie is always right about everything and can say anything he wants cause it's the truth.

When we play to “not lose” it’s all defense and backpedaling. That’s a loser from the get go.

And if I recall not all that different from things President Obama said at one point. To be fair, I am pretty far left on this issue so maybe I'm not the best objective judge.

IMO, his answers on how much his programs would cost and how he would pay for them was a lot more problematic.
