Did Bernie just throw the Governor of Vermont under the bus and walk away?

[RandySF]

He was not anxious to talk about what happened with the State of Vermon'ts health care and simply said "I'm not the governor". Maybe he wasn't paying attention?

1. Hey don't blame him

He's just a senator running for president

[RandySF]

6. "Not my problem".

[JonLeibowitz]

2. The point is his job has nothing to do with state policies. The question was a non sequitor.

5. and if it's so politically difficult

to fund it in hetereogenous Vermont, how does he expect to get it through a much more divided country?

that is really the crux of the question not whose job it is to do what.

unfortunately he refused to answer the question.

3. like Bernie like supporters

what did you expect?

[mattvermont]

4. as a vermonter

I am ok with that. Shumlin has been an embarrassment. Bernie has no influence on that pony show.

[Hiraeth]

7. exactly. duh.

[beam me up scottie]

11. As a native Vermonter I agree Shumlin belongs under the bus.

[Thinkingabout]

8. Besides the governor endorsed the other one, Hillary.

[ismnotwasm]

9. Yup

Don't worry--this he biggest bus I've ever seen

[a kennedy]

10. and really, Federal Senators do not deal in their State business......

State Senators do that.......so no Bernie didn't throw him under the bus. JMHO

12. Subautobus Governorae

[Dawson Leery]

13. Yes.

But Bernie is not a Democrat.

[Gothmog]

14. That was a weak answer to the Vermont single payer question
