Sanders refused to take a question from a WaPo reporter today. Just pointed and said "No."

1. Wow.

It's really becoming Bernie vs the world.

[TwilightZone]

2. That seems kind of familiar.

Sadly.

[padah513]

5. Kind of Trumpish

I thought the reporter asked him why he didn't go to Selma

[gollygee]

18. It sounds very familiar. nt

[Cha]

21. Just what I was thinking..

[NurseJackie]

23. That's not how a leader acts. He does not have the demeanor or temperament...

... to be POTUS. Things like this are a strong reminder of that.

[jmg257]

3. Oh boy - not a good few days in the Bernie camp

He has got to be pissed off.

[NurseJackie]

24. Ha!

[emmaverybo]

26. Wasn't invited to the party.

[Old Terp]

34. Bernie is the type of party guest who would complain that

The food was not salted enough; you wasted money on decent wine; he didn't like your guest list;
your baby is ugly. He's the type of person you don't invite back.

[USALiberal]

4. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really??????????????? nt

[IluvPitties]

6. Someone's frustrated...

[Blue_true]

19. Maybe tomorrow isn't going to be such a great day for him.

He has been acting like he knows bad news. He went off on California on the NPP vote, even when the CDC allows NPP people to pull a democratic presidential ballot. And today he is in Utah with it's paltry 29 delegates and not in California pushing to the finish.

[LizBeth]

7. Trump, anyone? Wow. Not o.k.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

8. That should be disqualifying for him. We don't need more of the anti-press behavior

[onetexan]

17. i tell ya BS is in cahoots w/ the Russians, to give the Idiot an easy reelection

that's why they're helping his campaing. i don't doubt it for one second.

[Celerity]

20. you are saying he is knowingly working with the Russians? I do not like Bernie, but that seems harsh

[onetexan]

22. BS said he would deal with foreign election interference AFTER he's elected

to me that's code for "keep it up". At this point given how crazy the past 4 years has been nothing surprises me any more. He seems to welcome the Russians helping him. He hasn't denounced it.

[PatSeg]

9. That's not a good look for a Democratic candidate

It reminds of the look on Sander's face sitting in the balcony at the Democratic convention in 2016. He came across as a very sore loser.

[littlemissmartypants]

10. Shortly afterwards, the lights mysteriously went out. nt

[George II]

11. At least he didn't point to the reporter and say what he might have been thinking,"You're fake news"

[mcar]

12. That sounds familiar

[zackymilly]

13. Reporter should have claimed he was from RT America. n/t

[emmaverybo]

27. That's it!

[Blue_Tires]

14. How is he supposed to handle the spotlight as the nominee, then??

[betsuni]

15. So WaPo is out to get both Trump AND Bernie. Heh.

[Hortensis]

16. Good grief at so many continuing resemblances to Trump.

Sure, they're both anti-Democratic Party populist leaders supported by Russia, so of course many similar behaviors will of necessity continue to the end.

But, again, good grief. We know Sanders is a rather rigid thinker and that he tries to avoid scrutiny by amap limiting interactions with the press to controlled campaign events, but COPYING Trump at a press conference?! He certainly knows better in his better moments. Seems another resemblance may be that both are upset and not at their best right after SC.

Bless their hearts.

[Gothmog]

30. I agree

[highplainsdem]

25. kick

[redstatebluegirl]

28. He doesn't handle criticism well at all.

He also does not look well. There is a lot of campaign left. I want to see his medical records.

[Gothmog]

29. This conduct is something one would expect from trump

[NurseJackie]

31. The candidate that I vote for will not be afraid of the press.

That was a rude and cowardly thing for anyone to do. I certainly expect more from someone who wants to demonstrate their leadership skills (if any) and their ability to handle pressure and tough unexpected moments.

This was a COMPLETE FAIL.

[Hortensis]

32. Speaking of Trump, Lawrence Tribe called his conduct treason.

I can only assume normal people who support Russia's other asset in this election don't understand or admit the enormous danger to their own future from Russia's warfare. Do they imagine Russia's...association with Sanders as analogous to a celebrity endorsement or something?

33. Booing reporters is not acceptable

35. More Populist Demagoguery

Bernie looks more and more like the other side of the Trump coin every day.
