Bernie on with Andrea Mitchell now...

He's still saying he has a chance...And he's yelling at her of course.

She's trying to press him...and he's interrupting and saying he's taking on the dem establishment and just said Andrea is moaning about Hillary's problems... He's kind of rude...

I think we just saw a glimpse of the real BS. He is toxic, full of himself and delusional. He is also not going to call out Trump on the sexist remarks. Yeah, Bernie, you're a real charming guy.

In order to gain the younger voters. Still sounds threatening...just ease up Bernie and you'll probably get some compromise...

She did try to get him to respond on Trump's attacks on the Clinton affairs and he wouldn't, said he wants to talk about the issues so I give him credit on that and he'll be a good attacker if he stumps for Hillary...called Trump out for his nonsense.

Because Mitchell is about as anti-Clinton as it gets. He can't even take advantage of what should have been a softball interview.

I want to know why the media doesn't bring up the majority of voters who have voted for Clinton. Obviously, we don't matter to Sander's. What about the will of the people?

I keep thinking that – what about the 3 million + votes for Hillary? Do we not exist? Are we not as important as BS's crowd of "revolutionaries"?

So sick of Sanders and the media.

Where? Caucuses - which impede turnout? Unpopulated Red States?

Hillary's getting hit from both sides now - and Trump is using Bernie quotes, attacks.

"It's OK! There are three of us running for president!"

I guess we have two Democratic nominees now.

Enjoy the gift, Trump!

He doesn't miss a chance to drop the "I'm not going to talk about the emails or the clinton foundation" line. What a great man! I've never been so pleased that someone would never be President in my life.

Did you catch the clip of him saying "If Trump supported my policies, that would be a great thing"? I hope the Senate democrats treat him like a pariah when he returns.

It reminds me of Trump when he says stuff like, "I could attack so-and-so on the fact that they're ugly, but I would never do that." YOU JUST DID. BS does the same shit with the Clinton Foundation line – you know he's hoping people hear him and go, "Clinton Foundation? Hmmm...let me google the dirt on that."

I hope we can find a real Democrat to challenge him in VT in 2018. I realize that may be difficult -- and ultimately pointless -- but I'd still love for it to happen.

Don't really like the idea of him free to roam the country whining and trying to get HRC primaried in 4 years!

I do hope that Vermonters will pressure him about those them taxes, b/c now I am eternally curious!

There are specific ways to steer a conversation towards talking about issues, but that's not one of them.

Especially if he was paying attention to John McCain's interviews in 2008.
I have great respect for veterans but honestly, I thought we'd never hear the end of his POWness.

"Speaking to Walter Isaacson at the Aspen Institute in Colorado on Thursday, McCain found himself explaining a recent interview with Blender Magazine in which he selected ABBA’s 1976 track “Dancing Queen” as his favorite song.

“What were you thinking?,” Isaacson asked him, looking incredulous.

“If there is anything I am lacking in, I’ve got to tell you, it is taste in music and art and other great things in life,” McCain joked. “I’ve got to say that a lot of my taste in music stopped about the time I impacted a surface-to-air missile with my own airplane and never caught up again.”

BS criticizes Trump. And then I wonder if Trump will hit back like he always does when anyone says ANYTHING critical of him. Do you suppose Trump will bring up all the dirt about Sanders that the GOP is holding back in the hopes he is the nominee...Bernie's articles about naked children, lack of orgasms causing cancer, no job until age 40, trips to Russia, wife's problems when she worked at the college, BS voting against longer sentences for child molesters, etc. I'm sure Trump's campaign consultants would tell him not to do it, but since when does Trump listen to them? Wouldn't that be something? It would be rather interesting to watch the two "big boy" candidates (who are SO thin-skinned) go after each other. Maybe more comparing of hand sizes?
