Oh that is pretty crappy of him, he seems pretty gaffe prone and I totally get what he means but maybe being old isn't the best for the ol noggin (spoiler our brains peak around 25which sucks)
I dunno...The Queen's ability to whip out even minute facts at a moment's notice is pretty impressive.
My husband said the same.

Bernie was a total ass. Don't watch it. Save yourself the annoyance. My mom was foaming at the mouth. Which is weird, she's so calm most of the time...
Exactly. I was livid at that. You get out there and thank your supporters, even if you have 10 of them. People in SC worked hard for him, and he owed it to them to say thank you. It's the least you can do.

Those ads aren't going to dent Trump's Populist Warrior Armor. He'll push the button on whoever is funding those ads, like the Ricketts. He knows where the bodies are buried.

I hate cognitive neuroscience when its used for pop sci style articles.
Quite impressive but not everyone is as lucky.

I always enjoyed seeing Buchanan on MSNBC. Always disagreed with him, but I could listen to what he had to say.

Of course 1960 was close. Kenndy's Dad wasn't going to pay for a landslide!

Oh great more excuses.
He tied in Iowa.
He 'won' Latinos in Nevada
He lost the entire south because they're red states.
He lost Massachusetts because of Bill Clinton's illegal electioneering
Now he will lose Michigan because of Spring Break.
What will be the first state the die-hards will fully accept as a loss?

Didn't know JFK stole the 1960 election
It was in Minnesota, but yeah. Saying that to a very different crowd on the night you get absolutely crushed in South Carolina... well, it's easy to see the implied inverse to explain the loss. "You are just too smart." So about the South Carolinians who voted earlier that day...?

Bernie is just doing damage to the democratic party at this point. Really can't stand the guy.
the bubble is too far in to be burst. MI is actually not the only state like that. Remember the politico article?

I honestly doubt in will matter in the caucus states. Should be enough young people at home to pull him through.

Real damage would have been running 3rd party, I think the party will end up stronger because of this.
My mother was also extremely unhappy. When the tweets about Detroit were mentioned she was up in arms.
She also complained about his long, bony fingers.

Well it's refining Hillary's debate skills before the general, but him calling out democrats and damaging her by saying she's just another crooked politician isn't helping.

He's damaged his brand within the party. There is no doubt in my mind about that. This is going to make me sound like an ass, but he gets positions within the party because we allow it. While i don't think we'd kick him out of the caucus or anything like that, we don't "own" him as a member of our party either.
He was an ass tonight. Like I said, Kyle texted me and was actually surprised how Bernie came across. IT wasn't good. Bernie supporters might have loved it, but wasn't a good look.
What a god damn idiot. I cannot believe what I just read. Unreal.

MSNBC calling Bernie out for the ghetto line. Good.

Exactly. Trump will almost certainly win Michigan and Mississippi. He's leading in Florida and I see no reason to believe Rubio will come back there. He's also leading in Ohio but Kasich isn't far behind. It wouldn't stun me at all if he wins Florida and barely loses Ohio - but he could very easily win both. At which point this entire "stop Trump" movement will look like another giant waste of money.
As much as I want to say the political universe ensures Trump will never be the nominee...he's looking more and more like the nominee daily. And it seems like the only thing that can stop this train is a catastrophe.

CNN played it, but then just ignored it and moved on.
I want to meme the original to say:Original picture:
Photoshopped:
Hmm, on-board with firing bad teachers and paying good teachers more.
Bernie has literally three things he talks about, even Rubio has more variety. Though Bernie does believe in the things he talks about.

Should she be coddled and not asked questions that Trump will throw at her?
I am glad you are one of the leaders of the democratic party but I harbor no attachment to the party other than it happens to be better than republicans, will be happy to ditch it if there is something better
I don't really like when people put the strength/positioning of a party over the people.

"White people don't know what it's like to be living in a ghetto or to be poor"
how spooked are your friends on Rubio's collapse? did they see this coming? do they blame Jeb for this? Cruz? split field? Rubio not living up the the hype? Do they think the ads will work on Trump?

Wall street speech transcripts won't be an issue in the general.
To be fair they aren't really an issue now either

I'm not a leader of anything. However, being President is not about sitting on a throne and issuing edicts. Bernie has managed to alienate a lot of Democrats. He is running for our party's nomination. He needs allies in the Senate, and so far he has none. Dems would fall in line to a degree, but he has no capital within the party to exploit.
You want to be President you have to know how to get people, even people who aren't ideologically pure, on board with your ideas. Bernie hasn't shown an ability to do that in his 25 years as a backbencher, I highly doubt he'd be able to do it in the oval office.

Predictwise:
Hillary: 94%
Bernie: 6%
... Who is betting on Bernie Sanders at this point?

Maybe not that specifically but Trump will constantly call Hillary bought, corrupt, evil, etc. don't know if he'll ask for the transcripts. But if he does she could ask to see the transcripts of his immigration discussion with the NYT

I don't think he could do it even if he was in trudeau's body and oozing charisma, his ideas are anathema to a lot of the entrenched interests. I agree that you need to work with people but the public option in obamacare wasn't stopped just by republicans.

Those thinking that he might rise a bit so they could sell then?
I've decided that I'm over Bernie. I hold his bros in contempt but I can't get worked up over his various blunders; in the end 2008 really was a lot worse than this and right now we're witnessing what a true intra-party civil war looks like on the other side.
If the Republican party was uniting behind Rubio or something I'd be angrier about Bernie, but right now their establishment is deliberately trying to engineer a convention floor fight clusterfuck which either ends with a Trump nomination or a Trump third party insurgency. So, like, whatever. Any damage Bernie does now is counterbalanced by the complete shambles that is the Republican primary.

Thanks to the Republican circus no one is paying attention to what Bernie says anymore either.

I'd buy your argument, if Elizabeth Warren didn't exist. Bernie is trying to run for the Democratic party and away from the Democratic party at the same time. You can't do this. We all know that he's not a member of the party. That's fine. However, he needs to not step in shit about it. Don't say that Democratic elected officials are wrong (even if they are) in this type of context. Just throw a bull shit answer out "I disagree with my colleagues on XYZ." That's fine. Hillary doesn't agree with every single Democrat either.
But, when you're already in a hole, and the ONLY way you have a chance of winning is to get some party support (because you need Supers) then you need to at least pretend to play nice. Bernie hasn't shown an ability to play nice with anyone who doesn't Feel the Bern.

Yeah...and if Bernie wins this guy may be the White House Chief of Staff.

Elizabeth Warren is having her own war against DWS and other democratic party members so thats a whole other ballgame. I think that doing things "for the team" is not a good path to go down but thats just me.

cnn keeps ignoring the white people don't know what it's like to be poor comment. They showed the segment again and their feed at the bottom left off the white people part twice now.
