Of course they're trying to help Sanders. They know Trump can beat him. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #1

In many respects, PatSeg Feb 2020 #3

And they are taking full advantage of it with the blessings of the GOP. ...nt 2naSalit Feb 2020 #68

They are masters at this stuff PatSeg Feb 2020 #71

Indeed. 2naSalit Feb 2020 #76

That's not it. Sanders can well beat trump. It's to divide dems. It's working :( Kurt V. Feb 2020 #32

The WaPo story said that Russia is trying to help the BS campaign. lapucelle Feb 2020 #64

Ah but Sanders, once again you miss the point. Putin, Republicans know if you are nominated you will krissey Feb 2020 #6

Of course that is the message they are trying to send. soldierant Feb 2020 #90

They have polls, and they have the garbage on Sanders. They went after Biden, Warren, Buttigieg, krissey Feb 2020 #115

You may be right. soldierant Feb 2020 #118

"But it's equally consistent with" No. It isn't, unless he made a promise to continue voting nay krissey Feb 2020 #129

Are you here to argue that the Russians are ''helping'' Bernie? YOHABLO Feb 2020 #16

Bernie Sanders briefed by U.S. officials that Russia is trying to help his presidential campaign ehrnst Feb 2020 #29

Well, apparently they are certainly hoping that he's doing well ehrnst Feb 2020 #19

Hoping and Doing are two entirely different things. What efforts? YOHABLO Feb 2020 #22

"Bernie Sanders briefed by U.S. officials that Russia is trying to help his presidential campaign" ehrnst Feb 2020 #26

Yes, and so he's been briefed, I'm sure his campaign staff are being vigilant. YOHABLO Feb 2020 #35

They did that 2016. emmaverybo Feb 2020 #92

The honorable thing for Sanders to do would be to drop out. Qutzupalotl Feb 2020 #8

Wouldn't that give the Russians a victory in fucking with our elections? Dennis Donovan Feb 2020 #11

No one is saying that he should be forced out ehrnst Feb 2020 #24

No, they only care about keeping Trump in office Qutzupalotl Feb 2020 #59

Other than Biden, no one polls better than Trump than Bernie. John Fante Feb 2020 #110

Perhaps not yet, but the full onslaught of opposition research has yet to be revealed. Qutzupalotl Feb 2020 #116

The honorable thing would be to stop bashing Bernie Sanders. YOHABLO Feb 2020 #23

Expressing the opinion that he withdraw, on his own, is "bashing?" ehrnst Feb 2020 #25

He's leading in all polls. Suggesting he ''drop-out'' is ludicrous. YOHABLO Feb 2020 #27

But....why is he leading in the polls? Evergreen Emerald Feb 2020 #31

No, I'd say because people believe in Bernie more so than the other candidates. YOHABLO Feb 2020 #37

Exactly. We already have confirmation that polls were manipulated to favor Trump... NurseJackie Feb 2020 #45

Confirmation of what? I've seen no evidence. No evidence, no case. YOHABLO Feb 2020 #50

Then you're not paying close enough attention. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #52

Uh, yeah you have my undivided attention. Right Now. Go for it. YOHABLO Feb 2020 #53

LOL! NurseJackie Feb 2020 #58

Not sure what your intent is with that. YOHABLO Feb 2020 #61

I'm relieved to see that you recognize that you're arguing from a position of weakness... NurseJackie Feb 2020 #79

So the Mueller report was false/fake too? sheshe2 Feb 2020 #63

Oh please. That's not even part of the discussion. Next. YOHABLO Feb 2020 #69

Ummm, Sorry. It has everything to do with this discussion. sheshe2 Feb 2020 #80

Yeah, I read the report. Is it suppose to persuade me to vote for a particular candidate? YOHABLO Feb 2020 #91

Ummm sheshe2 Feb 2020 #93

You think all those Sanders supporters who shared Bot posts in the GE were "intellectually weak?" ehrnst Feb 2020 #108

Yeah, that's what we thought. MrsCoffee Feb 2020 #144

Ok, exactly how do you think Russia is impacting the polls? JudyM Feb 2020 #97

Well, the GOP has certainly been promoting him, while attacking Biden ehrnst Feb 2020 #106

Well it's all news to me. Never heard of a petition to make Sanders the nominee. YOHABLO Feb 2020 #44

You weren't paying attention... ehrnst Feb 2020 #49

Yeah, I've got a thought. MOVE ON ! IT'S OVER. WE GOT TRUMP. YOHABLO Feb 2020 #51
