Jul 2015

Bernie is running for President of the United States. Not Mayor in VT/NH. He needs a thicker skin.

He let the host know that he would leave if treated discourteously. That seemed to be a signal to the crowd to listen a little.

He wants to run from some protesters? What the hell is he going to do when he meets with the leaders that disagree with him in Iran, Iraq, Russia, Afghanistan et all.

He responded horribly. I thought he was Mr. Town Hall. R B Garr Jul 2015 #120

He had just watched part of the way O'Malley was treated. JDPriestly Jul 2015 #131

Well, Hillary wasn't there, so no rational person is blaming her. R B Garr Jul 2015 #143

Sorry, sheshe2 Jul 2015 #130

I suppose you haven't noticed the "Bernie doesn't care for minorities" meme floated here recently? leveymg Jul 2015 #8

They have, it's a talking point, a Rovian tactic and they know exactly what it is. sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #32

It's a Rovian tactic all the way. We know it when we smell it. Enthusiast Jul 2015 #101

Love ya sabrina, but gotta echo Cali_Democrat here... Scootaloo Jul 2015 #4

I am entitled to my opinion, which is based on years of watching and sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #9

I stated an informed opinion. sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #15

Yes, I do. Are you questioning that? I know that the Karl Rove sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #77

So what is it that you've been dancing around and hinting over and over again? George II Jul 2015 #80

Apparently it's only a 'dark secret' to you. But then, maybe you are new to all this. sabrina 1 Jul 2015 #85

It must be a "dark secret" to me, since you've said you know more than any of us... George II Jul 2015 #92

This is well-known tactic. NanceGreggs Jul 2015 #100

It was widely known that HRC wouldn't show. Which is why there was no danger she'd be splattered leveymg Jul 2015 #11

If that's the case Bernie has big problems LordGlenconner Jul 2015 #48

This incident makes the internet meme clear. If dirty tricks blow-back at HRC, this will give Bernie leveymg Jul 2015 #62
