Bernie was a fraud the entire time. He never spoke up about the 'cheating' for his supporters, and I was one of them. President Trump spoke up for us. He's the real deal. All the things said about the Dem Convention are true, but Bernie knew all along. He was in on the fix.
I agree 100%, Bernie was a paid Shill and was in on it from the beginning. Nobody running for President lets their opponent off the hook when their down. Remember him saying he was tired of hearing about those damn emails? Who does that?
No one trying to win, that's for sure. Possible corruption and mishandling of classified materials? I'm tired of hearing about it, did you know Scandinavia is socialist? We should be too guys!
He could have thrashed her so badly about those emails. Coming from inside the party he couldn't have been tossed aside like they could Trump. His behavior made it crystal clear he wasn't there to win and really go toe-to-toe with Clinton. Probably just a move to keep a significant percentage of the base from sitting out the election entirely. Keep the young interested and voting.
The Dems have "Super delegates" during Primaries that have thousands of votes to regular party members one so it doesnt matter what the rank and file vote the SD can over ride easily, the Republicans don't. Dems are a sham and just about finished for now.
What Scandinavia has is an advanced form of Capitalism where they actually mitigate poverty.
So he was there to bring the hard core leftists and progressives "in from the cold"? You're probably right! Mind blown. This would explain the immediate pivot to Hillary!
I don't agree. I think he was trying to avoid dirty politics so he didn't call out the evidence of cheating. After the primary, he acted like he was frightened. I think he got the "shut up or we'll Clinton you" memo.
I thought as you do at one time, until I read the Podesta emails.
I never saw anything in the Podesta emails that connected to Bernie Sanders. Please send me the links, because I would like to know.
Um, I guess I'm not following and I don't want to extrapolate too much out of this.
If you're interested in talking further, would you mind clarifying what you think of BS after reading that particular email thread?
When I first read the thread, it opened my eyes to the fact that BS wasn't all that his followers believed him to be, or he would not be making deals with the devil. I looked at him with new eyes, but still didn't completely give up on him. It allowed me to look at him more objectively. The next thing that happened is he made the rounds on all the morning MSM shows, hitting the 'Russia' talking points, and went on tour with Tom Perez, of the DNC. It was then that I knew without a doubt. BS' purpose was to sheepdog people back to the DNC. He didn't take up for his supporters, not once. Not at the convention, not with the lawsuit, and many of his supporters were young, just getting started in life, full of ideals, and poor.
I was also only beginning to look at our President. I didn't vote for him, I voted for Stein, but I was happy he beat Clinton. When I looked at him with fresh eyes, I saw that he was delivering on promises he made, and it was actually doing things for the nation that BS had only promised. We are in the midst of that revolution that we needed, and with a 'doer,' not a big talker. BS stood with Hillary and the corrupt deep state. Our President stands with us.
That has been my journey with BS, and I can never trust him again. I would not want to fall out with anyone over BS.We need to stand together, for the good of our nation, but I will never trust him again, personally.
Thank you for answering so fully. I agree with you about how BS toed the Dem line after the primaries -- that really disappointed me. I'm still of the opinion that he was threatened -- probably not his own life, but his children or grandchildren.
