Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign has canceled all appearances and events until further notice following a procedure for an artery blockage.
In a statement Wednesday, the senator’s adviser Jeff Weaver said Sanders “experienced some chest discomfort” during a Tuesday event. Testing found a “blockage in one artery,” and Sanders had two stents inserted, Weaver said.

“Sen. Sanders is conversing and in good spirits. He will be resting up over the next few days,” Weaver said. “We are canceling his events and appearances until further notice, and we will continue to provide appropriate updates.”
Sanders, 78, is running for the Democratic presidential nomination for the second time.

That’s 2. It’s a Warren show now that Biden and Sanders are done.
This is fairly huge. If he was a Republican there would be headlines everywhere amid calls for him to drop out of the race.
Would Bernie make it if he had his healthcare for all?
I think he is going to have to drop out. I can’t imagine a Cardiologist signing off on him returning to the campaign trail.
So Biden and now Sanders have grave threats to their campaigns. Hillary lurks.
This after receiving an email from Hillary saying....BTW.....You’re scheduled for heart surgery this afternoon.
Interesting. Thanks for posting.
Did he receive care from one of those big evil medical corporations?
Did he wait several weeks or months to see a Dr. due to a socialist medical services scheme?
Will he be taking medicine produced by a profit driven big-pharma?
Probably not. He’s in the ruling class where everything is delivered on a silver platter. The rest of us? Yeah, keep paying your high premiums and impossible deductibles.
The list of Old White Guy candidates is dwindling.
RIP bernie
Bye bye Bernie.
You know, if I had amassed $25 mill in campaign donations I’d drum up a heart condition too, and just fade away.
He should go to Cuba or Russia for his surgery.
Yep. One down, Hillary is waiting.
Who does this sound like? The whistleblower twofer, now this? Sure, that’s Liawatha’s MO.
I don’t like his politics, but I sincerely wish him a full recovery.

Would you like honest answers or would you prefer Schiff-ty answers (i.e., parodies)?
Maybe the Dems could keep him going a bit longer to pull a Carnahan style funerally to get sympathy votes if he should have a fatal heart attack.
