Washington Post's Milbank Attacks Bernie Sanders as a 'Spoiler'
Newsbusters ^ | March 13, 2020 | P.J. Gladnick

Is Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank secretly working for the Trump 2020 campaign? The question has to be asked because Milbank is currently doing all he can to completely alienate Bernie Sanders supporters from the Democrat party and making it more likely that they won't be voting for Joe Biden, if he is the nominee, in November. So how is Milbank accomplishing this result? By severely castigating Bernie Sanders and labeling him a "spoiler."

Milbank performed this favor for the Trump campaign on Wednesday by whining, "The Bernie Sanders spoiler campaign begins." Milbank even went so far as to rub salt in the Democrat wound by promising a new Bernie supporters alienation guarantee feature called the "Spoiler Watch."

The soviets would have referred to Bernie as a “wrecker.”

Nah...they want Bernie to run because they know they are going to lose.

He will help with turnout. This will help with House races. And they can blame losing to Trump on Bernie.

And to think Dana was a speech writer for Bush. Although in retrospect not much of a surprise.

I don't think he was. Marc Thiessen is a WaPo writer who was also a Bush speech writer.

Dana Milbanks... A faithful parrot of rat talking points and propaganda.

Spoiler of what exactly? The party has put forth a clown cavalcade who are equally unfit for the office. The two remaining cannot “spoil” as the party itself is rotten to the core.

I once read a book about GWB and the 9/11 attacks. In that they quoted some of Dana Milbank’s anti-Bush rhetoric which even his fellow liberal Democrat media colleagues found way over the top. I can’t imagine he is any friendlier to Trump than he was to Bush.
