Bernie doubled down on his former support of communist regimes when he was asked about it Tuesday:
This article contains an amazing quote he made back in the mid-80’s, that breadlines can be a good thing. I thought he might have been joking or ironic when he said this but I looked at the linked video and he was quite serious.
As a Liberal I did consider her when this was all starting up and the field was getting set. But after review of her views and background I concluded she was probably bad news. She supports Al-Assad in Syria, even meeting with him. Her family belongs to a cult-like church where she was raised. They are virulently anti-gay, believe in conversion therapy, the whole nine yards. She was also vehemently anti-gay but seems to have moderated her views of late.
She has criticized Obama for not using the phrase “radical Islam” and has generally shot her mouth off on Fox against Dems. Which, of course, endears her to the Fox crowd. But it did little to generate support in the party she caucused with.
Now her campaign is being propped up not by folks on the Left but folks on the Right, along with some love from Russia (troll bots, sputnik and RT to name a few) because they hope she will go third party and leech votes off the Democratic side in the generals.
And she seemingly could care less about it. It’s funny, it doesn’t matter if the Russians prop up Trump, Bernie or Tulsi, they just accept the help and pretend it doesn’t exist.
Sanders got the brakes beat off of him, especially in MS. That’s crazy. Unfortunately people are going to totally dismiss the southern black vote. We will make or break an election. Also, that L in Michigan was huge especially since he went hard campaigning there.
It truly was. I don’t see how he wins the nomination because it’s obvious what’s going to happen in the south and the midwest is looking pro Biden too.
I think it was an implicit concession that if biden provides some satisfactory answers and a propensity to offer sanders some concessions sanders will endorse biden sooner rather than later.
You could very well be right - their campaigns are said to be in contact with each other. Not sure how Biden satisfies Sanders, but I’d like to see Biden go further left.
