Tweety -- Mr. Interruption, feeding Clinton softballs, and keeping his mouth shut

And agreeing with her on everything. And bashing Bernie and his silly young followers who want free everything.

Obviously giving Clinton an opening for damage control. Mr. Inside.

Shouldn't care what that jackass says, but he is sooooooooo annoying. Greta van Sustern seems like a good alternatuve.

"Non sequitur. Your facts are uncoordinated.

First of all, what Sanders is calling for is a democratically determined change in how we govern ourselves. He's not fcking Robespierre. The tumbrels are all in your head, dude. Among other things, Sanders is advocating for the restoration of a financial-reform system that was a pure product of the New Deal and that prevailed for 60-odd years. That's his "revolution.""


Here's a thread on it

5. It was a good interview. He understands political reality, and he's absolutely right.

Whether Bernie fans can be made to understand political reality is one of the questions for the GE. In 2008, Obama and Clinton were able to unify the party. Will Bernie be able to explain to his followers that they need to vote for Hillary because Rubio/Trump are 1000 times worse?

8. There you go again...Gosh, sorry we don't understand "reality" as deeply as your profound self does

I've only been living it for 63 years, and I'm a fairly observant fella. I think I have some vague notion of "reality."

bashing him for the sin of pointing out the obvious.

All over DU people are warning that if Hillary gets the nomination, a lot of Bernie supporters won't vote in the GE. What better indication than that a lot of Bernie supporters don't understand political reality?

He annoyed me when he was a Clinton hater. But he really annoyed me most when he banged the drum for the Iraq War.

I've never understood why he is still on tv. He is past his expiration date and really starting to smell.

17. Well his wife is running for the Democratic Congressional seat in MD

And she is supporting Hillary.I get so frustrated when people say Bernie won't be able to get the policies passed in Congress.If Bernie wins that means a "HUGE" wave of new supporters would be voting which would probably sweep all Dems to victory and we would take back The House and Senate.
