So much for Mr Positive-Campaigning...

The emails, Bernie? Really?

I hope this was just a misstatement, and not the beginning of Bernie turning into a BernieBro. Because if that's the case, his very good reputation is quickly going to head into the toilet.

Bernie would be an idiot if he was to infer that a federal investigation ends before the FBI decides.

Bernie is no idiot, and as future president he shows his character by not interfering with a federal investigation.

8. No, Bernie Sanders Didn't Just Do An 'About-Face' On Hillary's Emails

But a review Sanders' comments shows that his position has remained essentially unchanged since he famously told Clinton during the first Democratic debate that "the American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails."

- “..You get 12 seconds to say these things," Sanders told the Journal. "There’s an investigation going on right now. I did not say, ‘End the investigation.’ That’s silly.…Let the investigation proceed unimpeded...”




But while Sanders has begun criticizing Clinton in recent weeks for her voting record and seemingly flip-flopping on policy during her long political career, his comments on the email server remain consistent since the debate.

In fact, moments after walking off stage following the Oct. 13 debate, Sanders was asked by CNN's Chris Cuomo about the "damn emails" line. Cuomo wondered if it was "a gift" for Clinton. But Sanders demurred.

"There is a process in place for the email situation that Hillary clinton is dealing with. Let it play itself out," Sanders said. "But as a nation, let us start focusing on why it is that so few have so much and so many have so little."

"I think it was the right thing to do," he continued. "I think American people want substantive debate no the real issues that are affecting their families."

But they are not personal attacks, according to team Bernie. They are "character attacks." See, it's all good.

This man has to "deal" with some "butt" before he gets to kick republican ass.

This is nothing new if you've been paying attention. If you want to make take a cheap political shot to distract from the real issues then this is perfect for you.
