Sanders warns Obama against endorsing Biden
Washington Examiner ^ | 3/04/20 | Susan Ferrechio

Posted on 03/04/2020 6:09:57 PM PST by Libloather

Sen. Bernie Sanders, battered from his defeat in many Super Tuesday contests, warned President Barack Obama not to endorse Joe Biden, Obama’s former vice president who is now running neck and neck with Sanders for the Democratic nomination.

“I have not the slightest doubt that there is enormous pressure on President Obama to jump into this race and support Joe Biden,” Sanders said during a press conference about the status of his campaign.

Sanders told reporters he backed Obama’s pledge to support the Democrat who wins the nomination and his private assurances that he would not get involved in the primary.

“I agree with him,” Sanders said. “But that’s not easy for him to do. And I very much appreciate his willingness to do that.”

Obama has said very little publicly about the Democratic fight for the nomination or when he plans to give his coveted endorsement to one of the candidates, now likely to be Biden.

The Democratic candidates have touted their relationships with Obama.

You’ll know when the Dems are in Panic Mode about Bernie, when they pull their tattered copy of A Binder Full of Women off the shelf. They could give Bernie the Herman Cain treatment, send in one pitiful elderly grandmother after the other, with one, maybe two Susan Sarandon types.

Obama's endorsement isn't a guarantee :

In 2019, nine candidates that Obama endorsed won their elections and eight candidates lost - 53% success.

In 2018, 232 candidates that Obama endorsed won their elections and 110 candidates lost - 66% success.

During the 2016 election cycle, Obama endorsed 44 candidates for federal office, and 19 of them won - 43% success.

Btw, FWIW, ValJar was on GMA today dressed like Austin Powers and broke Twitter.

Just saw a political ad for Bernie tonight that gave the appearance the Obama is supporting him.

Maybe he isn’t but you would not get that impression from the ad.

I agree. If Bernie wants it the gloves have to come off. Biden is a dirty street fighter, and Bernie better do the same if he wants a chance.

Now Bernie’s cracking down on free political opinion speech for private citizens?

“Did Sanders send him a noose with the threat?”

Is Bernie stupid enough not to know that Barry put the whole operation with candidate withdrawals and resulting Biden endorsements?

What a moron. He’s so weak.

Just copying Bloomberg who ran a mass of commercials implying that 0bama had endorsed him. These dems never come up with anything new.

Because all those ads Bloomberg ran, with Obungo in them, worked so well. His “coveted endorsement” might just mean doom.

Alert!

Hillary will be on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” tonight at 11:30 ish on NBC. Don’t care to see her but if she does announce anything earth shattering or credibly stupid I’d rather not hear it second or third hand.
