Sanders is on MSNBC doubling down on the lies.

Said the HRC campaign said it was attempting to "disqualify" him, as quoted on CNN, and reiterating his comments about her qualifications.

Kornacki: "He's standing by his remarks..."

Thu Apr 7, 2016, 10:46 AM
Apr 2016

I really believe he has fantasized about leading a revolution. He went (as a lowly mayor many years ago) to meet Ortega and Castro. Ortega met him, but he was rebuffed by Castro who let some low-level underling shake his hand and get rid of him. Why would he have done this? To me, this is demonstrative of what has driven him all along. It also helps explain why he has been so standoffish with Congressional colleagues, and why he has always held a it's-my-way-or-the-highway type of attitude. He is above everyone else in his own mind.
He really, really, really wants this win, and at this point is getting desperate.

Thu Apr 7, 2016, 10:53 AM

The first time I ever paid any attention to him was after the Sanders camp theft of Clinton campaign data. Sanders started to indicate that he was sorry for the actions of his staff (though not sorry enough--nor did he admit how high-level that "staff" actually was) and then Weaver took over, as far as the media was concerned. He was aggressive and hostile. he set the new tone of the campaign right there.

So he went from running a positive campaign to a full on negative campaign. I think this will destroy him. He is the leader of a lying, bullying group of malcontents. His campaign is reaping what it has sown.

Demonizing Wall St. and harassing your opponent for transcripts of speeches she gave legally as a private citizen and which are her intellectual property and have NOTHING to do with legitimate campaigning is not positive.

Positive campaigns don't create demons and straw men to whack away on using empty rhetoric.

He has been a demagogue from the start and demagogues are not positive.

34. yes, I just heard Bernie double down on his crazy remarks. Shame on Him. He had an opportunity

to do what is right. But he did not.

While Sanders was up at his podium sounding bitter --

Hillary was shining and thoughtful on the streets of NY just now.


What a contrast for the viewers to see.

indeed despicable - especially Devine's disingenuousness about SDs when he himself was an instigator of the concept. But the buck stops with Bernie.

And yes, it's always the victim card. Had Bernie actually lost WI, there would have been a great outcry about WI's voter ID law, etc.

I personally think that there should be an outcry about that fricking law and a lot of other things that reek to high heaven about WI. But that is not because Hillary lost. It is the general principle.

For Bernie & Co, it's only when they lose that a stink is created. Do you believe for a moment that they would have been upset about the situation in AZ (an outrageous situation, I agree) had Bernie won? I certainly don't.

The honeymoon will be over if he somehow, wins the nomination. We can all write the ads, likening him to a communist (the masses don't understand democratic socialism). They will trot out what this will cost in taxes and scare the crap out of the middle class voters. He has proven that he doesn't handle negativity very well. He has weaknesses he and his followers refuse to acknowledge. He doesn't have the intellect of Hillary. I like him and will vote for the nominee, but after yesterday's diatribe I will do so with little enthusiasm.
