In reply to the discussion: South Carolina Democrats: Better if Sanders 'got lost' (don't shoot the messanger, AP story) [View all]dameatball
(7,669 posts)back and forth snarkiness and mind numbing tit for tat posts. It is not much fun wading through dozens and dozens of posts arguing about the most minute details of the comments of others.
But in this case, I see no problem with the OP. I like Bernie.....always have since he used to be on Randi Rhodes occasionally during my afternoon commute. But the timing here is off, if one is to accept the argument that Democrats running for office in South Carolina know their constituencies better than Bernie does. If they feel he will not be helpful prior to the election I tend to respect their viewpoint.
Bernie Sanders certainly has the right to go where he pleases. But ignoring the will of Dems in their home state is puzzling when he could easily do his thing after the midterms.
