Bernie is blowing it on NPR right now ....

57. I heard that interview as well.

The interviewer was hostile, but Bernie's attitude in response was small-time and amateurish. He came across as rattled and unmistakably irritated.

The question that seemed to set Sanders off was about the historical trend of "underdog candidates" derailing a party's lead candidate, and the interviewer lists a dozen examples where this seems to have occurred.

Sanders scoffed and peevishly refused to answer what he dismissed as "an absurd question." He also grumbled something to the effect of "I guess we should just pick the candidates and go to sleep." He then touted his own record of campaign success among the 2nd smallest electorate in the nation, as if that were relevant to the question at hand.


What kind of backwoods homebrew candidate would say such a ridiculous thing on the national stage? Did he not realize that his mic was on? Does he not care that he has now clearly portrayed (revealed?) himself as unable to handle uncomfortable questions? Does he think that he'll face less of that while campaigning for the general election? Also, he referred to himself at least once in the third person.


He sounded ridiculous and thoroughly unelectable. More important, he sounded like he knows it.
