Senator Nina Turner on Bernie's History

[Donkees]

Feb 27, 2020

A few years ago our ideas were considered "radical." Not anymore. Now it is time to complete our political revolution.

1. State senator.

[TwilightZone]

3. Yeah, just a slight difference.

[Cha]

18. & Former.. she lost her last election.

[TwilightZone]

20. Good point.

She got hammered, too. 60-36.

2. She was an OHIO STATE Senator... not a US Senator.

I know the video was titled as you posted it, but it really should be State Senator or Ohio State Senator.

[Donkees]

7. Also: 'State senators use Senator as an honorific'

MEMBER OF A STATE SENATE

State senators use Senator as an honorific: addressed in writing and orally as Senator (name). State senators are addressed as State Senator (name) or Mr./Ms. (name) in Washington, DC, especially in the presence of United States Senators.

8. All the more to underscore she should NOT be referred to as 'SENATOR' especially when discussing

national political campaigns and issues. Sanders should be referred to as 'Senator'. Ms. Turner should be referred to as State Senator or Ms. Turner. I suspect she enjoys the confusion, but she hasn't earned the title ( nor hopefully will she ever).

[W_HAMILTON]

13. Given the fact that it is usually Sanders himself referring to Turner in this way...

...I imagine that he also enjoys the confusion -- it actually makes it sound like he has fellow senators that support him!

[Cha]

19. Not a good look

[W_HAMILTON]

12. Does Sanders think he won the presidency already or something?

Because last I checked, he was a United States Senator, which means -- even based on the rules of your attempted defense -- that he of all people shouldn't be referring to Nina Turner as Senator.

It's especially more ironic given the fact that Sanders himself is the only person I've actually seen regularly refer to Nina Turner as Senator. I guess whatever you can do to make it sound like you have more support from your Senate colleagues than you actually do, eh?

[TwilightZone]

22. So, in context with Senator Sanders, it should be State Senator Turner

to differentiate the two as it notes.

Also, it should technically be former State Senator Turner since she hasn't been a State Senator since 2015.

4. Excellent video, I forgot about the Bernie/Cruz debate.

Thanks for the thread Donkees.

5. I hope DU is getting a kickback

from these endless Sanders infomercials.

This is getting to be like early a.m. television.

[Peacetrain]

11. Oh you should come in here about 8am in the morning

Its Bernie time!! and I am usually the only Joe person in here..

[TheCowsCameHome]

14. Seriously, it's getting brutal -

the more I see of this incessant cheerleading crap, the more I am turned off by the candidate.

[Vivienne235729]

17. Me too!!! The cheerleading ad nauseum turns me off to anything bernie.

[TwilightZone]

16. From what I understand...

at least one of the more prolific Sanders posters is on his campaign staff, though I don't recall the details. It should probably be required to be disclosed, though I'm not sure how it would be enforced.

We've had a few regular posters from campaign staff in prior cycles, but they were pretty open about it. Elizabeth Edwards used to post here before she sadly passed away.

6. That would be Jill Stein supporter Nina Turner. NT

[cmeneer]

9. Exactly

If she’s a true democrat, I’m The Easter Bunny. She is of the party that serves Nina Turner. She Talks a blue streak and says very little of substance. She has no credibility.

[Moderateguy]

10. I'm sure she'll deliver Ohio for Bernie even though she herself

Got shellacked 65-30 in her statewide run

[trueblue2007]

15. i think SHE IS YUCKY !!!!! soooooooooooo mean and lied about hillary. don't trust her at all.

[Demsrule86]

21. I can't stand her...but she left the party to join up with Stein...during the General...she didn't

vote for Hillary...IMO. Nina we in Ohio don't like you...no way you could win votes in the Mid west.
