Inside the bitter last days of Bernie's revolution

There’s no strategist pulling the strings, and no collection of burn-it-all-down aides egging him on. At the heart of the rage against Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party, the campaign aides closest to him say, is Bernie Sanders.

It was the Vermont senator who personally rewrote his campaign manager’s shorter statement after the chaos at the Nevada state party convention and blamed the political establishment for inciting the violence.

He was the one who made the choice to go after Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz after his wife read him a transcript of her blasting him on television.

He chose the knife fight over calling Clinton unqualified, which aides blame for pulling the bottom out of any hopes they had of winning in New York and their last real chance of turning a losing primary run around.

“betrayal of her own country...” That’s what most of the wacko leftists admire.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Bernie deserves better than this.

It would have been fun to see Bernie really take it to Shrillary, but in the end he lacked the guts to do so.....

You could see he was a wimp when he let BLM take over the stage he was on early in his campaign

[StAnDeliver]

All he had to do, was simply say about the emails "I want to see where this leads" instead of defending her, and shaking her f*cking hand".

I still firmly believe he is a useful tool for us, a wedge that we will drive into the heart of the Democrats.

We only need the Berners to stay home; in fact we only need about 1 out of 5 Berners to do that, and the race is ours.

I don’t care which one runs against Trump, but keep in mind one thing about Bernie. No one’s ever really attacked him, not Clinton or Trump. No one’s talked about him never holding a job until being elected mayor at 40, writing porn articles, honeymooning in the Soviet Union. There is so much material on Bernie that if it got out, believe me his negatives would go up...

[grania]

re: Bernie supporters will do what they're told to do

I wonder. Even if the dems do get most of them on board, it will be another matter entirely to get them to actually cast that vote for hillary.

-—honeymooning in the Soviet Union-—

Actually, Charles Krauthammer mentions the soviet honeymoon often. Just yesterday he did and Brett in chiding him for mentioning it, mentioned it again thus reinforcing the original Krauthammer statement. It was a slickly accomplished piece of work

[Old Teufel Hunden]

I’m not saying it hasn’t been reported. Political junkies like you and I know about it, but the great unwashed masses that will be voting this November do not know about it. They start paying attention around Labor Day and the commercials against Bernie would have been sweet....

[wastedyears]

I’ve been saying this for years. She’s a Clinton, nothing will happen to her.

[bert]

I’m in agreement with you on that

[StAnDeliver]

"They start paying attention around Labor Day and the commercials against Bernie would have been sweet...."

Who is to say we won't get our chance? BERNIE WANTS VP.

[Sir Napsalot]

Bernie may be ‘crazy’, but he seems to be enjoying his long life.

And plenty of those people who (quote) go after Hillary or BillyJeff (unquote) have the habit of meeting an unfortunate early demise.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"Who is to say we won't get our chance?"

Hillary and her team know this also. One of the main reasons they would never put him on the ticket. They will pick a super lefty I am sure, but it won't be Bernie.

[wku man]

"Bernie against Trump is too close to call."

Quit listening to the media. Trump versus anyone is going to be a landslide like we haven't seen since 1984. The polls have been wrong all along, and will continue to be.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

>>No one I know likes Clinton at all (save two dingbats in my family).

Do,you think that you are the only person with a couple dingbats in the family. Every family has them. Most have college age kids too. With Bernie out, Hillary will get the dingbat vote. All of it.

The media will create this false narrative that a vote for a Trump is a vote for slavery and rape gangs. They will project every bad thing that Democrats have ever done onto Trump and the useful idiots will buy it.

And in this election, they won’t just make noise. This time, they are emboldened to violence and Hillary will blame the violence on us having a different opinion. The media will perpetuate that lie.

Hillary is a kind of evil that you have to take seriously. Not seriously as you would an evil idea, but seriously as you would a bayonet pointed at your gut.

[Biggirl]

Are really sure about that?

[Biggirl]

I really do believe this will help Mr. Trump out bigtime. This is 1968 all over again.

[SunkenCiv]

Partisan Media Shills Alert!

(but what are their FR nicks?)

[Chad_the_Impaler]

It would have been fun to see Bernie really take it to Shrillary, but in the end he lacked the guts to do so.....

Maybe the Socialists would have had a good chance to take down Hillary, if "there had been another person at the top running things."

[Bryanw92]

>>Are really sure about that?

Yes.
