Very good point. LisaM Feb 2018 #5

Yeah, who forgets how RWers were crossing over to vote for him in open primary states? bettyellen Feb 2018 #9

I hate open primaries... and I don't like that here in CA we end up with Dems running against deurbano Feb 2018 #14

Same in Washington. When Jim McDermott retired, two Dems went for his seat. LisaM Feb 2018 #19

This would then lead to the party establishment determining who becomes the nominee of the party karynnj Feb 2018 #225

No, there was a very spirited primary. And I don't know that Walkinshaw would have won it. LisaM Feb 2018 #229

I dont care for Sanders and Jeff Weaver echoing Trump talking points in February 2018 emulatorloo Feb 2018 #254

Doesn't Sanders get tired of attacking Democrats? 4now Feb 2018 #23

Why do you care so much what he says? Bluepinky Feb 2018 #31

I think that Sanders should channel his anger toward the Republicans 4now Feb 2018 #38

What exactly did he say that was an attack on Democrats? Bluepinky Feb 2018 #39

You should do your own research 4now Feb 2018 #45

Cant come up with what he said to attack Democrats, huh? Bluepinky Feb 2018 #55

This is the kind of troll like behavour 4now Feb 2018 #58

Okay. Bluepinky Feb 2018 #61

Project much?? hueymahl Feb 2018 #83

The goading you sidestepped was actually a trap... NurseJackie Feb 2018 #219

"Do your own research" is the type of bullshit right wing trolls say when confronted Jake Stern Feb 2018 #136

Hell yes leftynyc Feb 2018 #242

Because he is still working, publicly, to divide the party. n/t pnwmom Feb 2018 #287

I think your onto something. nocalflea Feb 2018 #33

Sanders campaigned for Hillary after the Democratic convention. Sophia4 Feb 2018 #86

Ask Mueller. He's the one that found the information. And Bernie blames Hillary ehrnst Feb 2018 #107

You are criticizing a Congressman who caucuses with the Democrats. Bluepinky Feb 2018 #121

BS is a senator. N/T lapucelle Feb 2018 #126

Yes, Congress consists of both the Senate and House of Representatives. Bluepinky Feb 2018 #134

Did you know there are 2 branches of Congress? mcar Feb 2018 #167

According to Wikipedia, Congress includes both the Senate and House of Representatives. Bluepinky Feb 2018 #184

Yes! mcar Feb 2018 #194

Well now... that was fun! (Laughing and shaking my head... NurseJackie Feb 2018 #210

Right? mcar Feb 2018 #226

Since you're picking nits, there are two Houses of Congress - the Senate and the House of.... George II Feb 2018 #241

Yes, but it's not generally an accepted use for a Senator. Congressman and Representative.... George II Feb 2018 #250

I really want to see the link for this bit of civics mcar Feb 2018 #253

Those who serve in the House are called congressmen / congresswomen. lapucelle Feb 2018 #181

According to Wikipedia, Senators are usually referred to as Senators and not Congressmen Bluepinky Feb 2018 #185

From now on I will refer to the senator as congressman. N/T lapucelle Feb 2018 #187

You can do what you want. To avoid confusion, its probably better to call him Senator. Bluepinky Feb 2018 #188

Wheeeee! NurseJackie Feb 2018 #212

If I were Senator EW or Senator BS, lapucelle Feb 2018 #232

From Whom Does He Collect A Paycheck? Me. Feb 2018 #234

Because he doesn't have the magic "D" behind his name, you see Jake Stern Feb 2018 #137

All those Magic D's voted for Russian Sanctions. Magnitsky. Wwcd Feb 2018 #142

Indeed. (nt) ehrnst Feb 2018 #162

About that last point you made, I have no doubts. NurseJackie Feb 2018 #215

Likewise NJ ☺ Wwcd Feb 2018 #240

Actually, he's a senator, and no, there's no rule against criticism ehrnst Feb 2018 #163

According to Wikipedia, Congress includes both the Senate and House of Representatives. Bluepinky Feb 2018 #189

And you also need to learn the difference between criticism, or discussing their words ehrnst Feb 2018 #192

Me thinks you protest too much. Bluepinky Feb 2018 #193

Reporting the facts about Bernie Sanders, such as he released a fraction of Eliot Rosewater Feb 2018 #198

This post was reported on and I made a mistake Bradical79 Feb 2018 #220

I think you are very defensive on the issue and see malice everywhere ehrnst Feb 2018 #230

You didnt answer the question. Bluepinky Feb 2018 #237

Why? Summary for me: Trump, senate, house, Gorsuch, Hortensis Feb 2018 #239

To be fair, Obama, Clinton and Sanders knew Russia was involved in the election in 2016. Bluepinky Feb 2018 #243

"Fair" when one hoped to benefit and the others were Hortensis Feb 2018 #247

STRAWMAN. No one here believes Sanders assisted Russia. emulatorloo Feb 2018 #255

To blame the Russian thing on Hillary is not mildly critical...it is huge and gives Trump a pass. Demsrule86 Feb 2018 #266

You keep saying that but don't seem to understand it mcar Feb 2018 #195

I think you know what he said. Maven Feb 2018 #46

Thats a lame response. Bluepinky Feb 2018 #52

Google his remark the day after the election.(nt) ehrnst Feb 2018 #102

Oh, you are talking about 2016, I thought this thread is about current events. Bluepinky Feb 2018 #118

Mueller is talking about 2016. Specifically, he issued indictments R B Garr Feb 2018 #151

I suggest looking at the content of the article in the OP, if you haven't ehrnst Feb 2018 #164

This entire thread is bullshit The Wizard Feb 2018 #18

This has to do with a current interview, TODAY, by a man who is positioning himself pnwmom Feb 2018 #22

No, it is a warped interpretation of the interview karynnj Feb 2018 #32

When will Bernie acknowledge that Russian bots capitalized on his campaign Maven Feb 2018 #41

Well, since you asked, he could have given Hillary his email list. SunSeeker Feb 2018 #44

Those are the things any Democrat would do as a courtesy to any other Democrat. comradebillyboy Feb 2018 #152

There is a specific reason he purposely did NOT do any of that, but until the rules Eliot Rosewater Feb 2018 #202

He blames Hillary for not stopping bots that were promoting him ehrnst Feb 2018 #112

I'm with you man GusBob Feb 2018 #29

You mean we can discuss any Mueller revelations but those involving Senator Sanders? ehrnst Feb 2018 #78

I used to respect Sen. Sanders 4now Feb 2018 #21

Sanders is definitely NOT sounding Trump-like. Bluepinky Feb 2018 #47

They both spend a lot of time attacking Democrats. 4now Feb 2018 #53

Go back and listen to the weekly show with Hartmann, I swear they attacked Eliot Rosewater Feb 2018 #204

She said Trump was a Russian Puppet. Trump's response, "No puppet. No puppet. YOU'RE the puppet." Honeycombe8 Feb 2018 #24

The people buying the propaganda wouldn't have listened to her. Look at JPR stevenleser Feb 2018 #26

Same with Reddit emulatorloo Feb 2018 #256

Your version is quite biased and mainly reflects your hatred of Sanders karynnj Feb 2018 #28

And everything is Hillary's fault. nocalflea Feb 2018 #37

Where did I say that??? It is NEVER ALL the candidate's fault. Hillary, like all candidates had karynnj Feb 2018 #51

Bernies' campaign analyst Mattes stated that he knew before the General. ehrnst Feb 2018 #117

You make a lot of sense DeeDeeNY Feb 2018 #57

I think those sentiments are quite rational. comradebillyboy Feb 2018 #153

You are accusing everyone here who questions the actions of Bernie of being "irrational?" Eliot Rosewater Feb 2018 #205

I doubt it will be too impactful one way or the other. David__77 Feb 2018 #59

So we should ignore any revelations from Mueller about Bernie, and Bernie's comments on them? ehrnst Feb 2018 #80

No, but they should not be distorted karynnj Feb 2018 #89

But it's fine that Bernie is blaming Hillary, and we should ignore what else he said ehrnst Feb 2018 #101

Folks arent blaming him for the actions of the Russians. Instead criticizing his and Weavers words emulatorloo Feb 2018 #259

"Gaffe" or Deflection? Cha Feb 2018 #260

All I can say for sure is they both stepped in deep shit with these statements emulatorloo Feb 2018 #261

I know.. time will tell. All I can say Cha Feb 2018 #262

They sure did step in it deep. They really revealed how R B Garr Feb 2018 #265

He's just being defensive, knowing the Russians favored him to win over Clinton. Chemisse Feb 2018 #34

If the Russians favored him to win, he would have won. Bluepinky Feb 2018 #50

His only job was to attack the Democrat party nominee 4now Feb 2018 #56

I see, Sanders was a Russian plant. Bluepinky Feb 2018 #60

You said it. Not me 4now Feb 2018 #65

Admission is the 1st step. Wwcd Feb 2018 #88
