LOL! - Bernie Sanders and Debbie Wasserman Schultz Shared a Very AWKWARD Handshake

[Segami]

It’s no secret that Bernie Sanders and Debbie Wasserman Schultz are not best friends.

First, there was the accusation that the Democratic National Committee was in Hillary Clinton’s pocket, intentionally scheduling debates on nights when fewer potential voters would be exposed to new candidates (see Sunday’s debate in Charleston, S.C.).

Then there was the data breach; The DNC cut off the Sanders campaign’s access to crucial voter data after alleging that Sanders’ national data director, Josh Uretsky, and his team improperly accessed data meant only for the Clinton campaign.

That frosty relationship appeared to be on display Sunday, when NBC cameras caught a brief, and very terse, handshake between Sanders and Wasserman Schultz. Was there even eye contact?

10. Thanks for that link, now I got to see the video of Hillary being so childishly rude.

Why do you think that is funny?

23. It's the Mean Girls mentality

Churlish is as churlish does!

[Wellstone ruled]

26. This what I mean when it comes to Optics.

Never under stood why candidate Consultants let this crap go down. If you are going to disrespect your opponent,do it in private and be up front and honest. That slight was as unprofessional as it comes. This will be used as a character trait in every op-ed used against her. Just plain stupid and you can not fix stupid.

[CorporatistNation]

30. "Cannot Fix Stupid" Is A Republican Line But Does Work In This Case Exceptionally Well For Hillary

K and R!

[Wellstone ruled]

34. Thank You for your support.

Mr. Wellstone was my mentor back in the day. Just caught a stump speech five minutes ago from Hillary. She was lambbasting Synder over Flint and their water problems. What I said about campaign handlers and consultants just happened. She just had a Howard Dean moment,noise cancelling microphone making her sound harsh and shrill. How the hell is driving her bus? No sound checks? What gives.

[Live and Learn]

3. Yep, I caught that when it happened. At least he did shake her hand. I don't know that I could

have.

[SoLeftIAmRight]

4. This is in great contrast to the overly friendly...

display shown on stage between Hillary and DWS.

[Segami]

6. Snubbing for Hillary is an art.....

just ask her hubby Bill who was left hanging with his lips in pucker mode.........

She kisses Obama and not Bill........

[SoLeftIAmRight]

7. she would "kick ass" if this misunderstanding was investigated

she has been tested

[CorporatistNation]

31. Given The TONS of Ammunition She Has Given Her Opponents Over the Years She Has Not Even

begun to get tested... Bernie has been a true gentleman. The Wall Street CA$HHHH I just the tip of the iceberg...

Whatever happens in the end it is not going to be pretty for Clinton Incorporated.

[onecaliberal]

5. At least she bothered I guess. No didn't see that.

[Gregorian]

8. Bernie truly knows when to hold 'em, and when to not.

I love this man! HE'S GENUINE!

[azmom]

9. LOL

I love Bernie!

[Eleanors38]

11. That's not awkward, just fast!

[MisterP]

12. more like a mutual stabbing-together of hands

[2pooped2pop]

16. Does look like it now that you mention it.

I'm sure she places him firmly among the unwashed masses. Bernie Cooties....Get thee to the hand sanitizer!!!!

[2pooped2pop]

18. I don't know how to embed video, could you start a post with a poll to see what others think?

thanks

[2pooped2pop]

25. nevermind

I saw a clearer one. She looks to have mouthed something that people are calling an insult though.[link:

27. i did not think i could loathe dws any more.

i was incorrect.

[Still In Wisconsin]

14. I would imagine it was hard for Debbie Rodham Schultz to be so gracious n/t

[secondwind]

15. He snubbed HER... he actually looked away from her when he gave her his hand briefly.

[2pooped2pop]

19. He should have snubbed her.

He was very gracious to take her hand at all.

[yuiyoshida]

22. Bernie doesn't seem to have a mean bone in his body

Compared to Republicans, He is a saint.

[NJCher]

28. that's what I saw, too

He snubbed HER... he actually looked away from her when he gave her his hand briefly.

I wanted to see some other handshakes, though. Maybe people were going through so fast that there wasn't much more to the handshake in this situation. I've been in crowded situations where the handshakes amounted to little more than just a touch or squeeze of the hand, for example.

Not only that, but she "got" the snub. That is why her shoulders slope downward and she walks away a bit. I don't care if she said, "That rotten @#$ %$Y Bernie Sanders," the body language says way more, and to me it says "I was just rejected."

32. In Any Event IF That Was The Case, Debbie Got Away Easy and Deserves EVERY SNUB

that can possibly be generated... DWS is one of the worst pieces of work in this country... ENDORSES REPUBLICANS LEFT AND RIGHT... NOT on my team! That IS how Florida Dems roll!

[Warren DeMontague]

17. He probably doesn't like her very much.

a lot of us don't.

[DUbeornot2be]

20. Looks to...

...me like he's simply giving her hand back to her... ...a pushing away of sorts...

[Duval]

21. I saw that last night and laughed out loud.

Bernie is not going to "act"! He is a genuine stand-up guy, and we love him for it!!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

29. That's a textbook 'dominant overhand twist and put it away' move.

[hopemountain]

35. perfect description

[Unknown Beatle]

33. WTF?

She's supposed to be working for the election of all democrats, and not just for Hillary. There shouldn't be an awkward moment like that, instead they should be talking with each other and not just a brief handshake.

If there was a moment that ices what everybody has said regarding DWS, that was it. That should remove any doubt as to who DWS is working hard to get elected for president. If DWS and Bernie gave each other the cold shoulder, it's obvious that Debbie Downer instigated it by her previous actions.

She has got to be the lousiest DNC chair ever. Fire her ass!
