But I guess he's not supposed to talk about the defeat because it upsets some folks.

Sanders is adept at taking credit for something he has not done. pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #1
i did not want to put it that way in the spirit of unity drray23 Jul 2017 #2
What? The unity comes from not hording the glory, for sure. pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #3
Yes, that's why I'm glad that Al Gore is back in R B Garr Jul 2017 #42
I guess we could say the same with Hillary Clinton and health care. pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #44
+1, he is the beneficiary of great press coverage. R B Garr Jul 2017 #21

Criticizing politicians does not accomplish anything, and it leads to marginalization! lapucelle Jul 2017 #100
Same goes for criticizing Democrats. R B Garr Jul 2017 #29
Here's Sanders most recent report card from GovTrack lapucelle Jul 2017 #46
That is an interesting site. I bookmarked so I can use in the future, and check out other pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #47

Riiiight!! InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2017 #90
He HOARDED THE GLORY! BERNIE'S A GLORY HOARDER! beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #94
So Bernie actually credited and thanked the people, he didn't "hoard the glory". beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #9

Thanks for posting video proof of what really happened. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #23
your welcome ..... he has been working nonstop .... Kathy M Jul 2017 #24
Yes he did the complete OPPOSITE of what some in this thread m-lekktor Jul 2017 #18
It's genuinely pathological. n/t QC Jul 2017 #19
It really is. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #20
Cognitive bias. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #22
He did both. bettyellen Jul 2017 #31
That's technically not possible. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #34
I saw a different clip, and yeah he was like if Trump wants to blame me (did that even happen?) then bettyellen Jul 2017 #43
Thank-you BettyEllen. I would like to see that clip. pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #45
Link to clip from Melber interview: bettyellen Jul 2017 #48

That's a still of the same interview where he credits the people. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #50
The operative word would be "all"? Lol. Eom. pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #51
I think "hording (sic) the glory, for sure" was the original claim. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #52
I stand by that. Eom pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #53
Lol! You do that. I'll stand by the video where he thanked millions of people. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #54
Yes, I think the video confirms exactly what I stated. You disagree. It happens. Eom pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #56
It proves the exact opposite. But you can keep claiming otherwise. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #60
Here t is sorry for the delay bettyellen Jul 2017 #58
That's the part where he admits he knew Russia helped his campaign- stunning to see bettyellen Jul 2017 #62
+1. Eom pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #63
Oops wrong clip- but they're both pretty interesting! Here's where he takes credit bettyellen Jul 2017 #55
LMAO! He didn't take the credit, he was defending Democrats from Trump's claim. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #59
Democrats were given credit for stopping the bill- and he accepted it on their behalf. Gracious of bettyellen Jul 2017 #64
Yes. Exactly. Eom. pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #65
No he didn't, she was talking about Trump's accusations of obstructionism. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #66
You think stopping the healthcare bill was bad? Most voters are happy? Only the GOP think that way! bettyellen Jul 2017 #75
What on earth are you talking about? beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #76
So he wasn't protecting the Dems from anything. Got it. bettyellen Jul 2017 #77
So I never said that, Got it. You're welcome! beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #78
Yes, you are right. The claim is still there in #59. R B Garr Jul 2017 #85
Pretty bizarre claim, but it's not about integrity, never was... bettyellen Jul 2017 #88
Thanks again. I had posted on what was initially there, and thought better of it. pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #61
This is an abbreviated clip you posted, earlier in the interview Sanders thanked the millions ... cliffside Jul 2017 #84
I get that people think he should have shared credit, but thanks... bettyellen Jul 2017 #87
First, he thanked the millions of people who came out to oppose the bill, that is not reflected ... cliffside Jul 2017 #92
Exactly. Thank you for correcting the record, it's on the video - he shared the credit. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #91
Yes, he FIRST thanked the millions of people who helped defeat the bill! Watching small snippets ... cliffside Jul 2017 #95
It's almost like they don't want people to see that part for some reason... beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #96
Yes and he did so First! Crazy nt cliffside Jul 2017 #98
The embedded video above is not from an interview. lapucelle Jul 2017 #72
Exactly. Thank-you. That is what I felt, that it was a campaign video. pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #73
I'm shocked you're shocked Nanjeanne Jul 2017 #104

What does "Louise" have to do with anything? R B Garr Jul 2017 #38
Good question, R B Garr! pnwmom Jul 2017 #89
Seriously? Not one mention the Democratic Party and their efforts. The people, "we" as in his voice pirateshipdude Jul 2017 #32

Kudos to Bernie Lotusflower70 Jul 2017 #57
Yes we could, he's never stopped trying. Here's Bernie in 1993 advocating for single payer hc: beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #67
He's been on message his entire life Lordquinton Jul 2017 #69
Looking forward to the day when Dems support a NHC system for all, thx for the clip! nt cliffside Jul 2017 #71
Hopefully it will be part of the next platform since a majority of Democrats support it. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #79
Unfortunately not the Dems in congress who vote on legislation, not many speak of a NHC ... cliffside Jul 2017 #86
The latest Medicare for All bill had 104 sponsors, that's more than half. beam me up scottie Jul 2017 #93
The people are listening, but we need more Dems in Congress on board, no excuses ... cliffside Jul 2017 #97
Yup. Voltaire2 Jul 2017 #99
Bernie held rallies all over the country to protect healthcare Fiendish Thingy Jul 2017 #68
Where were the rest of the Dems? Pushing back on TrumpCare in the House and Senate. emulatorloo Jul 2017 #103
This is a Street fight. Not a back room deal fight. Hassin Bin Sober Jul 2017 #108
Get yr point. However insinuating Democrats besides Shumer/Bernie are doing nothing isn't correct. emulatorloo Jul 2017 #109
Then he would have won the nomination treestar Jul 2017 #101
Geez! What is the purpose of this thread? SharonClark Jul 2017 #102
Thanks for saying what I was thinking. Curmudgeoness Jul 2017 #110
