http://www.businessinsider.com/anthony-weiners-question-for-bernie-sanders-2015-7?op=1Someone is pretty nervous. He does acknowledge his wife works for Hillary. Though, he doesn't have a history of caring about his wife when posting nonsense online.

(12,958 posts)They tried attacking him from the right with McCaskill. It blew up in their faces because she came across as unhinged, with RW talking points.
They are trying to attack him from the right with Weiner, who is regarded as a Leftist. This will ultimately fail because nobody will take it seriously.
They can't attack him from the left because his positions too grounded in reality.
Eventually they will figure out they just shouldn't be attacking him. The pendulum is finally swinging back to the left and the people are waking up to the disaster that RWism has wrought upon them. The status quo is NOT a winning platform from which to attack this time around.

(9,289 posts)He answers his own question but doesn't like the answer: Bernie is running as a Democrat partly because he doesn't want to be a spoiler. Does he need another reason?

(38,613 posts)I love how he says the accent was "perfected" as if it's some sort of fake accent he's been working on.
Anthony must be thinking of that other candidate
Every single time I think of that 'other' candidate's changing accent, I have to laugh.

(2,574 posts)A creepily fearmongering tactic.
And Dem Socialist as opposed to what? As opposed to a Wall Street Dem, which both Hillary & Weiner are?
There's little Sanders espouses and has voted that isn't true to the principles and platforms of the Democratic Party. I can't say as much for Hillary's abysmal voting record and current sketchiness on major, major anti Democratic issues as TPP and Keystone.

(62,325 posts)their 'opposition research' you would think they would have come across polls showing that young people are FOR a Democratic Socialist Government by 7 out of 10! That 3% are probably Young Republican Fox Viewers. So Bernie gets 70% of young voters BECAUSE he is a Democratic Socialist! Someone needs to move out of the fifties!
Who on earth comes up with this stuff? Why are they not attacking Republicans?
I know, they are going to 'work with Republicans'!
