When Bernie Sanders, Conventional Politician, Called For Still More Mass Incarceration HRC ROOM

MICHAEL TOMASKY

Could Bernie Sanders be starting to look ever so slightly like just another pol? Not to his besotted legions, of course. For them, nothing can tarnish the great man. But for other voters, the past week may mark a turning point in the way he’s perceived.

I have three events in mind. First was the Hillary-is-not-qualified business. Yeah, he walked it back fast, but not before he grossly mischaracterized what Clinton had said on Morning Joe and then went out and raised money off of his own mischaracterization! Far be it from me to suggest that the righteous one ever reads a poll, but I bet he does, and I bet his were showing that the controversy was killing him.

1. His record of votes does not change, the bill allowed for what it has occurred.

2. It’s past time for the Vermont pol to start explaining himself.

It’s past time for the Vermont pol to start explaining himself.

Second was the Vatican dust-up. What really happened there, who knows. But if your behavior leads two Vatican officials to start cat-scratching each other on the record, you have not won the morning. Given that he’s apparently not meeting with the Pope, I have no idea at this point why he’s even going. We all get that it’s a pander for Latino votes in New York, but why not just spend that time meeting actual Latino voters?

But third and biggest by far is Sanders’s continuing hypocrisy regarding the 1994 crime bill. Hypocrisy is a strong word. Is it fair? Well, he’s been going around for months criticizing both Clintons on the bill. But of course, as we know, he voted for it. And as we learned Sunday from Clinton surrogate John Podesta on ABC, Sanders boasted as recently as 2006 that he was tough on crime because he supported the ’94 bill.

[Walk away]

3. Why doesn't Saint Bernie admit he voted for the Crime Bill and explain himself.

Both the Clintons have. Bernie is basically lying by omission. New Yorkers are wising up. Bernie Sanders is a HUUUUGE Liar who cannot ever admit that he has ever made a mistake and never takes responsibility for anything he does.

9. Why doesn't Clinton and her surrogates start grilling Sanders about it?

Why would Sanders admit he voted for the bill if no one calls him on it?

[Walk away]

10. Honestly, I think it's because Hillary has already won the nomination and...

her campaign is all about not beating up too badly on Bernie in order to keep the least cultlike of his supporters in the Democratic fold.

Sanders is in the unusual position of having lost the election but he is still raising ton of money off of the faithful. He can continue to run until 2017 if he wants and his supporters will still keep sending in their $27.00.

4. Sanders lives in a world where no explanation is ever required of him.

The Clintons, quite imperfect the both of them, live in a world where things are complicated, history advances and changes, and you have to rethink and explain. Sanders lives in a world where no explanation is ever required of him. Clinton has a week to change that.

7. "Besotted" is right.. good descriptive word, Michael Tomasky..

"Far be it from me to suggest that the righteous one ever reads a poll, but I bet he does, and I bet his were showing that the controversy was killing him."

That's what I said.. BS had to.. he had no choice. he had to say.. ".. of course, she's qualified".. like he never said she wasn't. That went down the rabbit hole for him.

".. at least the Clintons acknowledge their error.." BS never does.. he's perfect. A perfect hypocrite.

8. It was stupid to go after the Clintons on the Crime Bill when he voted for it. Who told him

to do that.. weaver or devine?
