Bernie had no choice but to roll with what he said.... riversedge Oct 2015 #13

Did you even watch? Bernie even prefaced it by saying it wasn't good politics to defend an opponent! reformist2 Oct 2015 #16

yes, I did watch and I do recall--and have often rea that comment. What is your point? riversedge Oct 2015 #21

The point is that Sanders said that what he was gonna say "may not be great politics" Vattel Oct 2015 #55

Well, we will never know if your 'natural interpretation" is correct or not unless Sanders riversedge Oct 2015 #76

Mark Halperin is the one who originally started this rumour. beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #51

yes, I actually heard him the day after the debate. But as I said it was riversedge Oct 2015 #71

The original source is a reporter who was suspended for calling Obama a "dick" on MSNBC. beam me up scottie Oct 2015 #78

Halperin is a political editor at Bloomberg. ucrdem Oct 2015 #56
