Bernie won the Democratic Primary in Montana. Delmette2.0 Apr 2017 #7

His pick for VA governor has a bad record on choice. ehrnst Apr 2017 #5

okay, his vote was unacceptable, his excuse for it is lame. But he has come around on this issue JCanete Apr 2017 #8

I don't recall Hillary getting that kind of understanding from Bernie ehrnst Apr 2017 #10

Clinton has a far more complicated history that we are all aware of, not to mention a different way JCanete Apr 2017 #13

Parsing/evolving - If she did it, it was bad. ehrnst Apr 2017 #16

When women or gays get thrown under the bus I agree, where that is happening. JCanete Apr 2017 #19

Sanders has been saying Democrats are "hung up on abortion and gay marriage" for years ehrnst Apr 2017 #28

yup, and that sums it up right there. JHan Apr 2017 #51

We call it pointing out double standards. Others call it "smearing." (nt) ehrnst Apr 2017 #57

sure, double standards are a problem, but I hardly see it here. People want to be like JCanete Apr 2017 #74

Well, "Endorsing her" is a strong phrase ehrnst Apr 2017 #75

He campaigned for her, and even with her. Do you think he will do even more for Pariello? JCanete Apr 2017 #76

If recent CA elections are any indication ehrnst Apr 2017 #78

Okay, I don't know what to do with that. This is in the realm of personal impressions clearly, and JCanete Apr 2017 #80

He's not in this race, so yes, he might not have any ehrnst Apr 2017 #82

you were making a double-standard claim. Is the double standard that he didn't run against Pariello JCanete Apr 2017 #83

Will he do more than say that Perriello is "preferable to Gillespie" ehrnst Apr 2017 #81

that was Booker's recent vote and Sander's own proposal. And since then it sounds like everybody is JCanete Apr 2017 #73

Our recollections on what happened after the primary diverge somewhat ehrnst Apr 2017 #77

whatever you do, do not call him an opportunist Skittles Apr 2017 #96

His opponent Ralph Northam voted for George Bush not once but twice. PatsFan87 Apr 2017 #14

I guess "perfect" is all about who approves of the "imperfections" ehrnst Apr 2017 #17

So you think voting for Bush twice is pro-women, pro-gay, pro-gun safety? PatsFan87 Apr 2017 #20

Straw man. I'm talking about double standards ehrnst Apr 2017 #23

Ironic accusing others of strawmen Kentonio Apr 2017 #25

Again, you ignore that I said this isn't about Northam ehrnst Apr 2017 #26

Clear but not in the slightest bit true. Kentonio Apr 2017 #27

No, I'm describing a Bernie that has stated these things in interviews ehrnst Apr 2017 #29

I opened the first link and it was a 15 minute video Kentonio Apr 2017 #30

Start at 9:00 ehrnst Apr 2017 #32

So that's the opposite of what you said then, no? Kentonio Apr 2017 #33

No - he's not willing to work outside of HIS particular parameters. ehrnst Apr 2017 #34

That's a really strange article. Kentonio Apr 2017 #36

I think that the lack of endorsements from peers says an awful lot about political skill. (nt) ehrnst Apr 2017 #37

As for endorsements.. Kentonio Apr 2017 #40

Because if you're hiring someone for a job, and none of their co-workers will give them a ehrnst Apr 2017 #41

No, simply that Washington tends to be quite a close knit club Kentonio Apr 2017 #44

Yes, the Trump voters felt the same way. ehrnst Apr 2017 #46

I'm still waiting to see the insiders manage it, let alone the outsiders. Kentonio Apr 2017 #48

An 'outsider' like a 25+ year career politician? (nt) ehrnst Apr 2017 #55

Actually, Vermont is a rural very white, and now very lefty, and still small population. ehrnst Apr 2017 #38

Burlington wasn't 'very lefty' when it started electing him. Kentonio Apr 2017 #39

A tiny rural white population would of course be supportive of Bernie. (nt) ehrnst Apr 2017 #42

You should really read up on his early mayoral campaigns. Kentonio Apr 2017 #45

That's going back a few years. Before he became a long-time career politician even. (nt) ehrnst Apr 2017 #47

True. It took the time to see it working in practice to change peoples minds. Kentonio Apr 2017 #50

So much so that even his fellow Senator and Governor of Vermont ehrnst Apr 2017 #52

True, he did lose the governors race to a woman ehrnst Apr 2017 #53

Frankly if you're going to throw smears at him, then I have no interest in continuing to talk. Kentonio Apr 2017 #54

Pointing out some of the holes in your description and stating some facts about his career ehrnst Apr 2017 #56

No, you went from having a decent conversation to throwing a cheap smear. Kentonio Apr 2017 #58

That's a lot of projection there. ehrnst Apr 2017 #59

Ah, so you're actually just looking to refight the primary. Kentonio Apr 2017 #60

No. I'm simply pointing out where you yourself have done what you accuse me of ehrnst Apr 2017 #61

Ah I see. Kentonio Apr 2017 #62

Oh dear. ehrnst Apr 2017 #63

You seem quite obsessed with continuing these pointless attacks Kentonio Apr 2017 #64

Yet you keep returning. ehrnst Apr 2017 #65

Why did you put 'loathe' in quotes? Kentonio Apr 2017 #66

3..2...1.. And yer back! ehrnst Apr 2017 #67

When you post fake quotes, then yes you are likely to get me to repudiate them. Kentonio Apr 2017 #68

Ah, the "be an adult" passive aggressive jab. Nice choice. ehrnst Apr 2017 #69

You do seem stuck on this idea of trying to drive me away to another site. Kentonio Apr 2017 #71

Isn't that civilized? ehrnst Apr 2017 #72

There are some red pockets in Vermont. PotatoChip Apr 2017 #84

So Bernie says. ehrnst Apr 2017 #85

I just want him to make a statement that he's not running in 2020. SaschaHM Apr 2017 #15

He's not known for graceful exits, even when it's clear things are not going to happen. (nt) ehrnst Apr 2017 #18

bunch of BS! If he wanted to divide the party he would have run as Independent in General Election! Sunlei Apr 2017 #22

To be a disruptor, one must be in the middle of what one wishes to disrupt. (nt) ehrnst Apr 2017 #24

Hope Sanders can make a difference. Rs will pile in lots of time & money to keep the spot Repub. Sunlei Apr 2017 #21

Then again Sanders campaigned hard for Feingold, who lost WI worse than Clinton did Recursion Apr 2017 #31

Indeed. (nt) ehrnst Apr 2017 #43
