Vincent D'Onfrio on how Sanders' campaign changed his mind with one tweet

[Julian English]

So Bernies campaigns last tweet about the republican est and the dem est both won't stop him.
It just made me block them.
They had me yesterday and just lost me today.
Sounds too much like trumps campaign 2016.
They will say anything to win.
Yuck.

D'Onfrio's not alone.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

1. He was crazy good as Vincent "The Chin" Gigante in Godfather of Harlem.

[Cha]

5. Yeah, he's an excellent actor.. I saw him more recently in Daredevil..

turns out he's smart and perceptive, too.

[DENVERPOPS]

22. I agree

Someone once called him "an actor's actor" Yes, exactly!
The breadth of his roles and how well he performed each and every one is absolutely spectacular.....Bravo

[boston bean]

18. Super impressed with him in that role. I can't wait for next years binge of that show.

[rzemanfl]

2. I need to find two matching buttons. BBL

[Cha]

3. Good on VO! TY, JE! Retweeted!

I would hope he's not alone

4. California will go Democratic regardless of who wins

[rockfordfile]

10. What does that got to do with anything?

[Dream Girl]

16. I don't think he really understands how it works. But he has a job to do.

[nolabear]

19. "Job"?

[JackInGreen]

27. Dont fuss the condescension, stay positive

Negative is exactly what they'd like.

[jimfields33]

33. That's where Vincent lives

[Julian English]

36. No, he lives in New York, but where he lives is irrelevant.

What's relevant is Sanders' tweet has alienated D'Onofrio and others.

[jimfields33]

43. He's in a blue state. Not needed.

[Beaverhausen]

29. Right. But California isn't the problem

It’s the other, redder states that we need to worry about. We have to win down ballot races or we will be fucked even more than we are now.

[Amaryllis]

6. What's the dem est and the R est?

[DavidDvorkin]

7. Establishment

I assume.

[Amaryllis]

9. Thanks. Been offline for two days...two days is an eternity these days.

[jmowreader]

12. There was a pretty major tweet from Sanders the other day

Telling both the "Democratic establishment" and the "Republican establishment" that "they won't stop us."

[Amaryllis]

13. I found it; thanks.

[avebury]

24. Sanders is sounding more and more

like the far left version of Trump. He is delusional if he thinks that if he can get elected that he will achieve all the changes he talks about. If the Democrats can't at a minimum get McConnell voted out or take control of the Senate the only plus of electing a Democrat to the WH will be kicking Trump to the curb. Beyond that, McConnell will have whoever the Democrat in the WH twiddling hisher thumbs because McConnell will continue to obstruct anything positive that the Democrats want to do.

I think that Sanders would be a disaster for the Democrats and could negatively impact the down ticket races. Oklahoma has one Democrat in Washington, Kendra Horn, and you can bet that the Rethugs will come gunning for her seat.

[PatSeg]

41. I think all the attention and adulation

has gone to his head and perhaps he really believes he can do anything.

That was your 10,000th post, cool number!

[YOHABLO]

8. Why should I care what Vincent D'Onfrio tweets?

Because he's a Hollywood actor and been in numerous films and television? No, Bernie Sanders is telling it like it is. He has not only the RW slandering him but Corporate Dems as well. All because he's challenging the status quo.

[pnwmom]

15. Bernie's slandering people like Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff, who are doing everything they can

to fight for average Americans and knock Trump out of power.

And he's slandering all the Democratic volunteers who work day by day and also consider themselves part of the Democratic establishment -- not the independents who swing in and out of the party every election.

[Dream Girl]

17. But Russia is behind him so there's that. Russia has been funding him too

Doncha know...they are doing all they can and it’s going right according to plan.

[Cha]

23. You cared enough to Kick the thread.. Thank you!

[ehrnst]

35. Enough to reply and kick the thread...But do tell... Which "corporate Dems" are "slandering him?"

[Sloumeau]

11. Hey, Mr D'onofrio...

What do you think their Criminal Intent was?

[bitterross]

14. He's an excellent actor. That doesn't mean I give a damn about his opinion.

Est or no est, Bernie will be a disaster if he is the candidate. Trump's team is loving it right now.

[TexasBushwhacker]

21. That's why the Russians are supporting Bernie

They don't want him to win. They think he's the easiest to beat in the GE.

[bitterross]

25. I agree. They're proping him up because they know he will lose.

Bernie is not going to win against Trump. Trump will use the same tactics he used to defeat Hillary. Hate, hate, hate. He'll go anti-Semitic in subtle ways and his base will love it.

[Fla Dem]

32. The problem is, moderate Independents/Republicans who hate Trump would vote for

Biden, Klobuchar, even Warren. They’re not going to bother to vote for Sanders because he is too far left for them. They just won’t vote for president.

[Lord Ludd]

20. Private Pyle shows off his rifle skills to Sergeant Hartman

[still_one]

26. Problem is he plays these comic book villians too good

[aikoaiko]

28. Apparently, not an issue in NV.

[SayItLoud]

30. One tweet. Wow the power of 240 characters! nt.

[Owl]

31. Never heard of him.

[ehrnst]

34. Yep. Not alone at all. (nt)

[Johnny2X2X]

37. Just saw a Berner post in FB that anyone who disagrees is a bad person

Really weird times were living in. Basically said anyone who disagrees with him is a bad person. Someone told him that is evil.

[liberalla]

38. Wow. I was trying to not have a knee jerk reaction, but that matches how I was feeling pretty

closely.

[bucolic_frolic]

39. Yes, that's going to reverberate for a long while

even in the halls of Congress

[yaesu]

40. never heard of the guy, pffft. nt

[Cha]

44. But.. you kicked the thread just to let us know.

[Bucky]

42. I'm no Bernie supporter, but that's kind of shallow

Sanders is running as an outsider. He's not even formally a Democrat in the Senate.

By what stretch of the imagination is it outlandish for him to point out that the Democratic establishment is against him?

I have my arguments with Sanders's positions, but that was a pretty boilerplate statement and Vincent has been a grown up long enough that he should be able to recognize that

[Cha]

45. BS is continuously insulting the Democratic Party with

his him vs the Dem Party.. This is Not the very first time nor will it be the last.

Lawrence O'Donnell gets it and so does Vincent D'Onofrio..

46. Who gives a flying fuck what D'Onofrio has to say?

Not me.

[aikoaiko]

47. Did he not know Bernie uses the Party establishment as a foil?

Welcome to 2016 Vincent.

[wundermaus]

48. Expand your mind

This is nothing new, but based you your OP, I felt compelled to offer a refresher on Tweedism -
(Bernie is well informed and acting appropriately)
