Maybe Bernie's causing all the ruckus because Trump is stealing his thunder.

[YouDig]

It used to be that the GOP was fighting with itself, and Hillary vs Bernie was an actual contest, and so people cared about what Bernie said, but now Trump is the GOP nominee, he and Hillary are going after each other, and Bernie's like a third wheel. He likes all the attention, and not getting it, so he starts issuing outrageous press releases with conspiratorial allegations so that people will cover him again.

[Broward]

1. May be you get paid by the post.

[seabeyond]

10. That should be a hide accusing posters as paid. Too much accusation of Brock. Weak and a failure.

[YouDig]

12. If I got paid every time someone accused me of getting paid, that would be something.

[morningfog]

16. Well, some are obvious in their faux zeal.

[seabeyond]

17. Not really. It is used relentlessly. It is again TOS.

[nc4bo]

11. !!!!!!

[LexVegas]

2. He craves the spotlight and he sees it fading away. nt

[Dawgs]

3. Sure.

[cali]

4. Your posts are getting sillier and sillier.

Like a certain orange candidate, you don't mind embarrassing yourself.

I'd suggest actually informing yourselves of before spouting your nonsense, but it would fall on deaf ears.

[AgingAmerican]

8. They have become a parody of themselves

Much like Rachel Maddow

[YouDig]

9. You really don't think it's a possibility?

He's got to be loving it, guy like Bernie, pretty obscure his whole life, now he's all over national TV and everywhere he goes thousands of people are screaming his name. It's just a human thing, liking the spotlight, and it's going to be over pretty soon for him. Why not drum up some controversial press release to get people talking about him just a few more times?

[cali]

13. First of all, no U.S. Senator can be called obscure. Second of all,

he wasn't. He was widely known and admired by progressives coast to coast, in part because of Breakfast with Bernie and in part because a use of his epic filibuster of Bush tax cuts.

You desperately need to inform yourself.

[YouDig]

15. Of course, but relative to the attention he's now getting, definitely.

He's been front page for months, and even he said he's been surprised by how much enthusiasm he's gotten and by all the big crowds. How many people heard of him a year ago? A lot in number, but now he's reaching a lot more people who weren't really into politics before.

[libtodeath]

19. " but now he's reaching a lot more people who weren't really into politics before."

and you are determined to shit on them by the sounds.
Winning strategy there.

[YouDig]

21. I think it's great that he's done that. I don't think that him non-apologizing for his delegates

rioting at the convention is OK, and I don't think that the conspiratorial allegations against the Democratic Party are OK either, like I said I think he's doing it at least in part because he misses the spotlight.

[libtodeath]

23. Yeah,he wants the spotlight.

This man has never once wavered in his principles through his entire adult life and 40 years of public service.
He has taken positions that were demonized by the right and now centrists from the Democratic party too.

Yeah,a real attention driven person he has been.

[YouDig]

26. He's not the deity that you're building him up to be.

He's a politician, he's wavered plenty, in terms of fact-checking he's done worse than Hillary. He's a good guy, sure, or at least used to be, but he's also a human.

[libtodeath]

29. Now you are making a joke of yourself.

Sorry that the reality of things doesnt match your bitter accusations.

[YouDig]

31. By pointing out that his fact-checking record is less than spotless?

I don't think anyone should be elevated to the deity level that you seem to have for Sanders, he's a human politician.

[libtodeath]

32. Strawman diversions such as accusing me,an avowed atheist,of deifying him shows the weakness

of your arguments.

[YouDig]

34. "This man has never once wavered in his principles through his entire adult life and 40 years of"

That's absurd to say of anyone. One giant waver is going from calling the Democratic Party corrupt and that he would be a hypocrite to run as a Democrat to doing just that. Pretty big waver.

[libtodeath]

35. Reading comprehension is not a strong point I see.

[cali]

20. Oh for the love of reason.

You really are revealing a lot about yourself. You are projecting. Bernie is thrilled that his issues are in the spotlight. That doesn't translate automatically to your interpretation. And it's not like he will suddenly go radio silent or no longer be a force.

[YouDig]

22. I'm not saying radio silent, but how many more big rallies with tens of thousands of screaming

fans does he get? Not many. Even if he does big events after the primary, it won't have the same energy. This campaign has been his time to shine, and it's drawing to a close.

[cali]

27. Wow. Are you really this... unaware?

He has a following of millions. And he says in every speech that this is about more than the election- and not merely about him. You seem to think that all he cares about is the attention. That is not the case. I know my Senator.

Your Hillary support lens is distorted.

[YouDig]

30. I agree, he has a following of millions. But he won't have the same kind of high-energy

tens of thousands of cheering fans events after this is over. He's right in the thick of it, the whole country is watching him. A bird lands on his podium and it goes viral instantly.

You can see that he loves it, and why wouldn't he? You'd have to not be human to not get a kick out of it.

[cali]

36. One more time: that is you projecting your desperate need for attention

And that is obvious from your flamebait crud.

We are done. Bye bye.

[eastwestdem]

5. I brought up this possibilty also! He started talking trash after he lost KY and didn't do as well

in OR as he had hoped. All of a sudden he is loudly attacking the DNC, and threatening to go after "Mrs. Clinton" personally. He is totally pulling a Trump. Can't stand to be out of the spotlight.

BTW...I'm planning to buy a pair of designer shoes with the money I'm getting from this post, how about you?

[AgingAmerican]

6. Do you lay around fantasizing all day long dreaming up this shit?

[insta8er]

7. Maybe others are causing the ruckus, where there is no ruckus.

[Vinca]

14. What ruckus?

I've been watching Bernie speaking at massive rallies the past few days and have yet to see Bernie causing a "ruckus." Excitement and enthusiasm and thousands upon thousands of people, but nothing more.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

18. Whereas, Hillary shuns media attention and refuses to partake of conspiratorial allegations.

Except when she does. Anybody for Vast Right Wing Conspiracy?

[asuhornets]

24. I agree..Hillary has not mentioned Sanders name in public in about a month now...n/t

[azurnoir]

25. ummm no just no but it seems someone needs attention so I obliged

[BeyondGeography]

28. It is human-nature denying to say that Bernie's emotions aren't running high right now

He does adore the public attention and will leverage every last opportunity to get it.

[Jitter65]

33. Then he needs to stop giving Trump his Thunder and call him out on it. He is good at calling out HC

Bernie and his supporters account for fully 35% of Trumps numbers in the polls.
