Come on Sanders' supporters, with catastrophic oppo like that playing 24/7, you've got to know he can't win so you need to switch to a candidate who can.

Makes one wonder, have his supporters done any due diligence on him? These videos are not that hard to find. Who can seriously think this guy has a chance after seeing this stuff?

I think we're about to see a lot of momentum for Biden as the campaign moves forward. The question will be how long the other candidates stay in the race. The sooner they drop out, the easier it will be for Biden to consolidate the anti-Bernie voters.

Sun Mar 1, 2020, 04:07 PM

Klobuchar is a Midwesterner with “Solid Midwest Values.” That might play better in the middle of the country than a “Massachusetts Liberal” (who used to be a Republican, but Trump’s trolls won;t mention that).

"I remember for some reason being very excited when Fidel Castro made the Revolution in Cuba."
"It just seemed appropriate that poor people were rising up against ugly rich people."
"I was very excited and impressed by the Cuban Revolution."
"Clearly there wasn't a lot of difference between the two." (Kennedy and Nixon)


No... I'm sorry, he can't be our nation's president. We can do so much better.

23. "Russia will find" "words we haven't even heard yet."
Sun Mar 1, 2020, 09:36 AM

No doubt in the world they already have.

His visits to Russia were of course heavily monitored openly and secretly; their real-thing deep state agents would have been cleaning his hotel room and striking up acquaintances at parties, and Russian operatives were all over the Central American revolutionary socialist insurgencies/governments during Sanders' admiring visits to them.

Russia would turn off the wind beneath Sanders's wings as soon as he locked up the Democratic nomination. It'd be replaced with a poison blizzard of demonization in his face 24/7, complete with the whole new Bernie Sanders identity and (hopefully) fake scandals they and our own RW character assassins already have designed and mostly ready to launch.

Enemies foreign and domestic are already at work. And if they failed with Biden because everyone knows he's not a creepy sex molester and international media know him for an anti-corruption fighter, everyone does NOT know that or much of anything else about Sanders, a dangerously blank slate to most. Almost especially those among his own more idealistic supporters who seem to imagine him as, ironically, a farther-left version of Joe Biden. "Bernie's so sweet!"
