Trump Confirms He's The Bernie/Russia Leaker With Attack On Adam Schiff,,, omg 😯 🙄


Trump told reporters while leaving the White House for India:
I have not been briefed on that at all. Nobody told me about it. They leaked it — Adam Schiff and his group, they leaked it to the papers as usual. They ought to investigate Adam Schiff for leaking that information. He should not be leaking information out of intelligence. They ought to investigate Adam Schiff.”


What it could be is you know the Democrats are treating Bernie Sanders very unfairly and it sounds to me like a leak from Adam Schiff because they don’t want Bernie Sanders to represent them. It sounds like it’s ’16 all over again for Bernie Sanders


The President is trying to turn Democrats against each other, and Bernie Sanders is his weapon of choice for this mission. Trump wants Sanders to be the nominee so that he can blame him for Russian election interference, and run a campaign that will be all about Bernie Sanders, not Donald Trump


Now Trump is blaming Adam Schiff for the leak ..omg what a mess...

Biden says U.S. intelligence should brief campaigns about Russian interference.....😳

Former Vice President Joe Biden said Russia is behind fake Facebook accounts that oppose his candidacy and urged the intelligence community to disclose to Democratic campaigns Russia's efforts to meddle in the 2020 election.
"The Russians don't want me to be the nominee," Biden said on "Face the Nation" in an interview that aired Sunday. "They spent a lot of money on bots on Facebook and they've been taken down, saying Biden is a bad guy. They don't want Biden running."


No one's helping me to try to get the nomination," he said

Senator Bernie Sanders revealed Friday that U.S. officials briefed him roughly a month ago on Moscow's efforts to help his campaign and suggested Russian bots were behind the behavior of so-called "Bernie Bros," the name given to some of his supporters who troll Sanders' detractors.
Biden called for the intelligence community to brief the other presidential candidates on Russia's efforts to interfere in 2020, saying intelligence officials "should inform the rest of us who are running what they told Senator Sanders




I agree with Joe...

Trump Defends Bernie Sanders On Russian Election Interference 😲

Trump is trying to split Democrats because he knows that he can’t beat a united party. In this respect, he and Sen. Sanders share a goal. The Sanders strategy is to try to win the Democratic nomination in a split party with only his base of support


The idea that Sanders couldn’t say anything because the briefing was classified is nonsense. Presidential candidates don’t get classified briefings until they are the nominee. Sanders would have been briefed on the interference as a candidate, not a senator.
If the briefing were classified, it still would have been classified after the media reported it. Media reports don’t declassify information. Sanders or his campaign have never said that the briefing was classified. Even if the briefing classified, it wouldn’t prevent Sanders from talking

The polls are to unrealistic to believe he is winning everywhere Polls are being rigged our opinion ..2016 again...

With cross over also...no way...do I believe it...

And Bernie doesn't know ?????

In 20 years, former senator Carol Moseley Braun is back on the campaign trail for Joe ..😎👩🏾

It's a balmy Saturday in January on the College of Southern Nevada's North Las Vegas campus. Inside the student lounge, a lively political summit is underway. Fliers about climate change, gender justice and jobs are scattered across tables. Pamphlets tout presidential candidates. An oversize American flag is draped above the makeshift stage

After a few more platitudes, the lady of the hour strides to the podium. Wearing a dark blue suit and mid-heel leather boots, Carol Moseley Braun — the first African American woman elected to the U.S. Senate and later U.S. ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa — looks traditional in the manner of old-school politicians. And she has come to this desert metropolis of palm trees and casinos to ask Nevada voters to bet on another old-guard pol, former vice president Joe Biden

Moseley Braun calls such criticism “nitpicking.” Biden, she believes, “is made for this moment.” “He has spent a lifetime working government as a force for good and has made a difference for millions of people who would have been left behind,” she says. “He really has a genuine kindness to him that I think is missing in our politics. That’s why I’m out on the campaign trail for him now

Prominent Hispanic organization endorses Joe Biden ahead of Nevada caucus,,,, Go Joe ,,,😎 🌵

LAS VEGAS — Former Vice President Joe Biden has picked up the endorsement of a prominent progressive Hispanic organization ahead of Saturday’s caucus in Nevada.
The Latino Victory Fund announced Thursday that it was endorsing Biden. The group had endorsed former Obama administration housing chief Julian Castro in August, but he left the presidential race last month.
It timed its announcement to impact both Nevada and many of the Hispanic-heavy states voting on “Super Tuesday” on March 3. Cristobal Alex headed Latino Victory until last March but now is a senior adviser to Biden’s campaign.


Miranda added that, if elected, Biden will work with Congress to promote comprehensive immigration reform and to protect so-called “Dreamers,” or people brought to the U.S. illegally as children – both issues where Biden’s views overlap with his top Democratic presidential contenders



In January 2021, there will be no learning curve for the next president of the United States. Our country will need an experienced leader who will hit the ground running on day one, and that candidate is Vice President Biden

Congresswoman sees Joe Biden or Mike Bloomberg, not Bernie Sanders, doing well in Florida...🏝🦩


As Democrats try to figure out who’s their best candidate to nominate for president, Congresswoman Lois Frankel sees Florida as a Joe Biden or Mike Bloomberg state.
Not so much Bernie Sanders, she said.
Frankel, a Democrat who represents most of Palm Beach County, isn’t yet ready to endorse any of her party’s presidential candidates — though some have asked — and said she doesn’t know if she will announce a choice before Florida’s March 17 presidential primary.
“I think Biden and Bloomberg are more in tune with Floridians. But I don’t want to discount anybody,” Frankel said Tuesday during an interview with the South Florida Sun Sentinel Editorial Board, adding that she’d put Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar in the in-tune-with-Florida category “if they were better known


Frankel’s top priority is for her party to find and nominate the candidate who has the greatest chance of defeating Trump in November



But, she said, the most powerful 2020 motivator will be voters’ views of Trump — both for people who don’t like the president and for people who want to see him re-elected. “What I think is going to drive people to the polls is Donald Trump

Biden picks up series of endorsements from Hampton leaders....Go Joe 😎

Joe Biden’s campaign announced Thursday that it had picked up 32 new endorsements in Virginia, according to a news release from the campaign, including three of the seven members of the Hampton City Council.
Virginia’s primary will be held March 3, along with 13 other states. Biden will be one of 14 Democratic presidential candidates on the state’s ballot competing for 124 delegates, the third-largest of the Super Tuesday states.
The former vice president is the first to announce a large number of endorsements from Hampton, but not the only to have support in Hampton Roads



“If we’re serious about repairing the fabric of our communities and restoring opportunity in America, we need to start by electing leaders like Joe Biden who can unite us behind a common goal of propelling this country forward,” Lewis said in the release

House impeachment manager from Texas endorses Joe Biden Go Joe...... 😎 👧🏽 🧒🏽

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden is looking ahead to the critical Super Tuesday primary slate with a new endorsement from a Texas congresswoman who served as an impeachment manager in the Senate trial of President Donald Trump


Garcia, one of the first two Latina congresswomen from Texas, announced her decision as early voting begins in her state. Texas has the second most delegates at stake on March 3, behind only California. Nevada, meanwhile, is the first nominating contest to prominently feature Hispanic voters



“The vice president is probably one of the most qualified people I’ve seen run for president,” the 69-year-old Garcia told The Associated Press. “Having worked his way up from city hall to working side by side with President Obama is a story in

Don't bet against Joe Biden just yet. He has an ace up his sleeve...Go Joe..You can do this..😎😄

Nevada, the next state voting in the Democratic presidential contest, is known for its casinos. It should be no surprise, then, that former vice president Joe Biden, goes into Saturday’s caucus with an ace up his sleeve: black voters

The polls, however, show the pundits are wrong. Biden has always been strongest among black voters, in part because he was vice president to Barack Obama, the nation’s first black president. Contrary to predictions, blacks have not abandoned Biden’s allegedly sinking ship. Instead, polls taken since New Hampshire in five different states by five different pollsters show Biden receiving between 36 percent and 41.5 percent of the black vote. That’s an amazingly consistent result and unlikely to be a coincidence


If Biden’s black support holds up that long, he will have prevented Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) from locking up the nomination before the convention. Democrats award their delegates according to a candidate’s share of the popular vote, so long as that person received at least 15 percent either statewide or in a congressional district. If Biden has locked up the black vote and former New York mayor Mike Bloomberg and former South Bend, Ind., mayor Pete Buttigieg are each breaking 15 percent of the white vote, then Sanders will not have a large delegate lead after four states vote on March 17. More than 61 percent of the delegates will have been awarded by that date; Sanders cannot win the remaining states by large enough margins to give him a majority before the convention.
