In reply to the discussion: Instead of bashing Bernie let's talk about why he is doing so well. [View all]ehrnst
(32,640 posts)44. His spokespeople are lying. Gray to retract two of them in as many days:
For the second day in a row, Briahna Joy Gray the National Press Secretary for the Bernie Sanders campaign backtracked on a baseless claim about Michael Bloomberg.
Gray gave an interview to CNN on Wednesday, where she claimed that the former New York City mayor has suffered heart attacks in the past. This came as Gray defended Sanders refusal to release his complete medical records, drawing a comparison between birtherism and the smear campaign from those whove raised concerns about the senators health since his heart attack last year.
Theres no proof Bloomberg ever had heart attacks as Gray claimed, though Bloomberg did undergo a stent procedure in 2000 after Mr. Bloomberg complained of discomfort and tiredness, according to the Bloomberg-friendly source who spoke to the New York Times in 2007.
This comes a day after Gray falsely claimed on CNN that 64 sexual assault allegations have been made against Bloomberg. Sexual harassment claims have been made against Bloombergs company. Gray has said she misspoke about this as well.

OP
Only two states have voted. He finished second in the first and tied for the lead in the second...

and because Biden, Amy, Pete, and Bloomberg are from the same voting block that accounts for 70%

The moderate/centrist wing hates the changes advocated for by the Sanders/Warren wing.

I'm satisfied with his medical disclosures. If you're not, and it matters to you, vote someone else

And he's done that. If you won't vote for him unless you see his EKG readout, then don't. Simple.

No he has not... you are frantic to deny that he has decided not to release his full medical records
