(17,837 posts)9. Bernie Has His Campaign Making Character Attacks Targeting Warren...
...complete with a script. Bernie should be happy Warren took the high road, but Bernie has a history of going scorched earth, no holds barred trying to render all primary opponents unelectable.

Bernie Sanders Takes the Gloves Off, Goes After Biden: Hes Got A Lot of Baggage, Record is So Weak
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has, in recent weeks, been looking up only at former Vice President Joe Biden in most national presidential polls. So with just one month left before the first votes are cast, the Vermont senator has apparently decided its time to take the gloves off.
In an interview with the Washington Post, Sanders took some pointed shots at the former vice president calling his record so weak and saying that he carries baggage into the race.
Its just a lot of baggage that Joe takes into a campaign, which isnt going to create energy and excitement, Sanders said. He brings into this campaign a record which is so weak that it just cannot create the kind of excitement and energy that is going to be needed to defeat Donald Trump.
Sanders went on to argue that Trump will go after Biden on the economy. It doesnt take much imagination to understand that Trump will be saying, You see this guy? He voted for NAFTA, he said.

Sucks when that happens to one's candidate, doesn't it? But it doesn't mean that they're done.

This all started when Bernie's campaign broke the nonaggression pact by trashing Warren supporters.
