Media hyping up Bernie/Elizabeth feud. [View all]

Which means Bernie and Elizabeth might get more attentiom at tonight's debate?

And CNN is attempting to drive up their ratings by promoting some sort of feud between the two candidates.

It's all a tempest in a teapot, in my opinion.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Not a directive, but neither is it an observation. Paka Jan 2020 #29

But she wasn't the one who made this public - someone she knew leaked it. ehrnst Jan 2020 #21

True, her surrogates made the actual statement. Paka Jan 2020 #31

"Her surrogates?" Names, please. ehrnst Jan 2020 #32

Its' pretty dirty. vsrazdem Jan 2020 #28

Because you say so? And can't believe that Bernie would have said that, or ehrnst Jan 2020 #33

The media and some trolls. redstatebluegirl Jan 2020 #13
