(100,132 posts)The first time was about Hillary Clinton disrespecting his qualifications in an explicit manner. Well, maybe that was just the media hoping for a fight, but it was sure reinforced by his campaign. In any case, Sanders went ballistic, and in the face of evidence he simply doubled down before kinda-sorta tapering off. Because Hillary did no such thing.
This time, it really is coming right from his campaign people to him and from him to the world. His acolytes here are beside themselves with a kind of ecstasy. When it comes out that Sanders at best misunderstood the nature of the conference, what does he do? He doubles down again.
Something is wrong with the Bernie Sanders campaign advisors, and with his management of them. This worries me. If it's coming from the top (i.e. Sanders himself), it is a real oh-shit moment.
