Bernie needs to be pressed about whether Susan Sarandon was speaking for him. HRC ROOM



As you know Susan Sarandon made a fool of herself last night big time. Now we all do this in life but the real question now is does Sanders agree with her positions. He needs to be pressed in every upcomming interview about the fool's comments.

Remember that NY and most of the April 26th states are closed and Registered Democrats don't like talk of sitting out elections. This will hurt Sanders and we need to push this.

Even though that's what he, himself, did until he was over 40 years old

Even though his history is full of equating Democrats/Republicans

He can either distance himself from her or hum and haw and divert to "the billionaire class" spiel.

I expect, if pressed, we'll hear:

oligarchy
Wall Street
1%

ya know, divert divert divert!

DON'T answer the question.

He can't win. At this point he's in it for the $. Agree with Sarandon and keep those $27 donations flowing. Disagree and he loses some of his zealous following.

Later, he makes nice behind closed doors as he tries to salvage his remaining years in the Senate. Who knows, he may already have an exit strategy in place to get out of politics after this year.
