Or at least stop listening to him.
Sanders won Wisconsin and it should have been used to set a positive and winning tone to the campaign. Instead they are coming off as defensive.
I don't think weaver was honest on the disqualified comments either to Sanders. It had nothing to do with him being president but about winning ny and enough delegates to put Sanders out of the race.
But either way Sanders response should have been to smile and say something about how it shows they are making some people nervous and that he expects more of it . But he is just going to keep talking about the issues which have helped him win many states.
Something similar to Obama 's "brush it off"in response to attacks from Clinton.
Weaver is especially not helping. Instead of talking about Sanders it's all about Clinton.

(8,352 posts)so you can try again with the retort. I also worked with minority youth in the 1990's while Clinton was 'bringing super predators to heel' with Draconian drug and crime bills.
Want to try again?

Maybe he should take advice from Hillary on how to sell out, since she's clearly the master, and he the D- student.

(3,133 posts)talking it up in a way, they showed their azzes.
Bernie had a right to defend himself. Why does the Clinton camp show no class, when they are to comment on another win for Bernie? None of that should have been said. If they were not from the clinton camp, then what the fuck is the media up to? Maybe they would be better off covering Sander's speech after his win, instead of creating some bullshit going negative campaign to take out Bernie, keeping Hillary two steps removed from these shenanigans. The media who has been helping Hillary tremendously has just fucked up her campaign. For real.
All bad actors.....but not Bernie.

(31,170 posts)on Face Book for a looooong time. He and Hillary both talk about creating a future that we should have already and I admire that. I was totally let down by him in mid-January when he made incorrect claims about Hillary's senate contributions, and I said then his staff was not serving him well. And now he appears to be all-in himself, engaging in behavior that I would have never believed him capable of. Sad to see this happening.

Hillary has been lying and swift boating and smearing Bernie the whole time and yet you find something twisted all out of shape and mourn over Bernie being such a liar.
Give everyone a break.
If you can stomach all of the lies that come out of Hillary, then you can take anything that comes from Bernie. Jeezum lord mercy!

(39,451 posts)CNN had Jeff on who was beaming from the larger than expected win in WI & they berated him.
First about delegates - all while showing the uncommitted superdelegates on the board - then they dragged him over to the map & argued with him about Bernie's path to the nomination....
And then the icing on the cake was having Zeleny on reporting from the Hillary camp telling Jeff they were going to disqualify and destroy Bernie, they had enough with Bernie winning.
Bernie had just won his 7th State out of 8.
Jeff had every right to respond the way he did, and I support him and Bernie for fighting back.
That said - it's over and done.
Now let's move back to the issues and talk about what a slimeball Bill Clinton is.
