Then a hot mic clip was found, as if by coincidence, allowing Warren to complain Sanders had just called her a liar on national television.

But in that exchange, Bernie showed his wimpness, which is a big weakness. He wimped out against Cankles in 2016 and he wimped out in the exchange above. He should have said, Yes, you are a liar, and walked away from her.
But he is a wimp. For all his snarling old man get off my lawn... he is a total wimp.
His supporters are not wimps. But he is.
One other area where Bernie has wimped out is on illegal immigration.
The old left (and the previous version of Bernie) was totally opposed to massive immigration of unskilled workers and others because it led to lower wages and stressed the social safety net for citizens.
Today’s left (which got Bernie to bend the knee) couldn’t care less if they put downward pressure on wages and bankrupt the welfare state at the same time.
