Sen. Bernie Sanders announced Thursday he would not be able to speak at the Women’s March’s first annual National Women’s Convention next week.
The Vermont senator will instead be traveling to the hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico.
“I want to apologize to the organizers of the Women’s Convention for not being able to attend your conference next Friday in Detroit. Given the emergency situation in Puerto Rico, I will be traveling there to visit with San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz and other officials to determine the best way forward to deal with the devastation the island is experiencing," he said in a statement.

The Democrats aren't about to make the same mistake that the GOP made in allowing a swamp-draining outsider to take over their party. The Sanders/Ellison rabble gotta go (please come back in November though thank you very much!).
The Clinton/Obama/Pelosi/Perez Wall Street globalists are calling the shots and they just added a bunch of lobbyists and DNC operatives as Superdelegates.
Lurking on DU has never been more entertaining!
Guess the check cleared.
But Bernie looooves vacation homes....
Are they panicking? Please tell me they're panicking!
[Bernie is smarter than he looks.]
Given Sanders will be visiting with inept San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz about the state of Puerto Rico tells me otherwise.
I’m so sick and tired of these fraudulent commies.
They purged many of the Sanders people who went off to form their own forum: Jackpine Radicals (also greatly entertaining) and they use their jury system to squelch any criticism of Democratic party leadership by charging the posters of violating prohibitions against "right wing talking points" and/or "bashing Democratic public figures."
In other words, "Get on board with the Wall Street establishment candidate so that we can defeat TrumpHitler."
Here's a great example of the chaos: Democrats Plan to Name Lobbyists, Operatives as Superdelegates
Thanks for that, it was exactly what I expected - all teeth and blood. A feeding frenzy.
This has nothing to do with Puerto Rico. It's a way for Sanders to save face and extricate him from the sh**storm that was caused when he agreed to speak at this women's convention taking place. It's all part of the ongoing war between the Sanders and Clinton factions of the Democrats.
