2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumAbout Bernie's disqualifying speech against Clinton...
MSNBC is trying to twist it as an attack against Obama... But they don't realize Bernie and his supporters think Obama is equally a part of the problem as is Clinton, and any other politicians who take campaign contributions from special interests. It is called corruption and finally an incorruptible candidate is running and he can call a spade a spade. These people just can't wrap their mind around the idea that the American people are sick and tired of politicians being corrupted by money in politics and continually lying to our faces.
It is also indefensible to so readily send our young men and women off to fight needless wars for "business opportunities".
Or to sell our middle class off to the highest bidder to ship our jobs overseas to people being paid pittance for wages.
I am so proud of Senator Sanders in this moment!

(2,353 posts)She tends to run the most classless campaigns. She was horrible to Obama.

(2,348 posts)Bernie does think that. He thinks he is the only person qualified to be President.
And that is why he's so dangerous.

(6,409 posts)He says anyone who takes big money from certain special interests is not qualified to be president. The implication is that many others who accept money from the same sources are not fit to be members of Congress, governors, etc. Our party has iived with this elephant in the room for years. It's similar to how we accommodated the Dixiecrats back in the 1950s and 1960s.

(11,197 posts)then yes, they probably aren't qualified to be President of "the people".
Sheepshank
(12,504 posts)Bernie is divisive and just lost a whole bunch of supporters because of this tactic. I wonder if now Weaver thinks it was such a great idea to coach Bernie in this direction? We were a "mixed" household until yesterday. No more.
