"Let's Be Clear About Who Is Rigging What": Bernie Sanders Denounces Trump Effort to Divide Democrats

I respect Bernie and understand.  The power is still in the hands of the neo-liberals.  He has to play this game for now.  I hate it, but understand.

Bernie in the lead and calling for Democratic Party unity. Who’s looking most electable now? And who’s blowing Ukranian gas up your ass?

Keeping Bernie off the campaign trail at this critical time in the nomination process will make it easier for the corporate Dems to manipulate the process away from him and towards someone they find to be more acceptable. I would prefer that Bernie not answer back any of Trump’s tweets and just let them stand, but don’t give them any significance. If asked, he could make some excuse like who knows what he’s tweeting about anymore, as though it’s not worth his time. But yes, there’s virtually a 100% chance that the opportunity to screw over Bernie while he’s stuck in the impeachment trial will be made. I don’t see any point in those of us who support him not making it known that we’re aware of their tricks.

Interesting. Bernie is bowing to the corruptocrat establishment. It diminishes him a little bit in even my eyes; hopefully not enough in anyone’s. It’s almost laughable that the corruptocrats have handed Trump an opportunity to attack with the truth rather than embarrass himself with blatant, incompetently concocted lies, but beware, given enough opportunity he might start liking it.

In Washington or on the campaign trail, Bernie is a force.  He has a capable staff, an excellent ground game, plenty of money and well-known and well-liked supporters who will continue to work for him while he’s in DC.

Biden & Buttgig on the other hand, have their stale shit that no one’s buying.  They can do 100 speeches and 100 meet-&-greets, and it’s not going to net them many more supporters.  The best they can do is hope to smear Bernie off his perch.  We saw how well that worked in the last couple of days.  The James O’Keefe smear went nowhere.  They got nothing because there’s nothing there.

Classic Bernie.

He recognizes that there’s no value in infighting and reminds us that Trump needs to be defeated.

He will defeat his primary rivals — not by squabbling — but by speaking the truth and staying on message.

Trump is right.  Sorry not sorry.

If Bernie Sanders is to unite Democrats, the time is now or never.  He will never have another chance like this.

Unity comes with love with them, not hate against them.

Trump would never understand.

Bernie’s right.   The infighting and spitballs thrown at each other by the candidates is childish and stupid.    And it’s a helluva a good reason for Democrats to have a RCV national primary.

Voters in Iowa and New Hampshire are used to presidential candidates being accessible to them before their caucus and primary, sure, but I think its demeaning of them to think that they won’t understand sitting US Senators have a duty to attend an impeachment trial. In fact, Senators who skipped it would be rightly viewed as a careerists putting their own interests above that of the country’s.

This has never happened before. While Bernie may privately agree with Trump, as I do publicly, that Pelosi deliberately delayed the trial in order to hurt him in the early states, he would be a damned fool to actually admit it. You all know what the reaction would be; there’s no need to let that happen.

The Vichy Dems and the fake progressive, Elizabeth Warren, call for party unity while they do their best to divide it. Bernie is the one actually walking the unity walk, by uniting people around his policies that address their very real needs. Voters know the difference, even if the media doesn’t.

Trump is not going to be removed by the Senate. No way, no how. It’s a waste of time.

This is stupid to sacrifice campaign time for this circus.

The only hope for a trump and the GOP is a divided opposition. When Bernie wins the nomination, the right knows what they have to do – divide-to-conquer.
A third party candidate on the ‘left’ (“Bernie’s not pure left enough”, “Bernie’s too pure ‘socialist’”, etc.) will be quietly funded by the right.

They know they can’t win a pure Trump vs Bernie matchup.

Oy Vey.

*Sigh*

I started to watch his Campaign Update video the other day and he started in on the Impeachment/Russia crap and I had to turn it off.

I disagree with his stance on Russia/Impeachment/Venezuela.

But I LOVE Bernie, the man.
