The Berners are now threatening to write in BS if he can't have the nomination

I have seen a few FB posts eluding to such.

Bernie Sanders is really good at double speak

The qualified unqualified and the vote comments among other comments.

Always trying to claim the high road while attacking.

Watched Bernie Sanders repeat the lie that Hillary said he was unqualified CBS Face Th Nation

Just keep repeating the same lie. That is just like Republicans like to do, ignore facts.

Bernie Sanders just proved he is no better than Republicans

As if all the unqualified comment wasn't enough and his attempts to claim the high road while attacking Hillary, he topped the week off by mixing religion with politics.

I left church and have not returned over this and I sure as hell will not support a candidate who dose this.

he isn't familiar with a particular case

Is anyone buying this attempt to explain why BS couldn't answer the question about breaking up banks?


The way the BSers are spinning, we are going to have a cyclone

Sanders uses padded data to back up his claim - Cross Post GDP

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511678754

Sen. Bernie Sanders uses padded data to back up his claim that “Hillary Clinton received $4.5 million from the fossil fuel industry.”

The figure relies on a tortured definition of fossil fuel money. It includes contributions donated by lobbyists who represent many clients other than oil or gas companies. It also includes money those lobbyists raised from other donors who have nothing to do with the oil and gas industry.

And most of the $4.5 million total is tied to donations made to a super PAC supporting Clinton — which Clinton does not control — by two people who run investment funds that include investments in oil and gas companies. But those investments represent a fraction of the overall investment portfolio.

The issue of fossil fuel money going to the Clinton campaign reemerged when a Greenpeace activist questioned Clinton at a campaign rally in New York on March 31 about whether she would “act on your word to reject fossil fuel money in the future in your campaign?”

Clinton responded, “I do not have — I have money from people who work for fossil fuel companies. … I am so sick of the Sanders campaign lying about me! I’m sick of it!”

As we wrote back in December, Clinton has received relatively little in contributions from oil and gas company employees (and nothing from the companies themselves, as that would be illegal). That hasn’t changed. According to more recent data cited by Sanders, contributions from oil and gas industry employees accounts for 0.2 percent of the nearly $160 million raised by the Clinton campaign so far.
