Bernie Sanders walks out of another interview.

[JaneyVee]

Today. Its only a 2 or 3 minute video.

http://www.12news.com/mb/news/12-news-one-on-one-with-bernie-sanders/87672745

Imagine if Hillary or Obama tried this.

[stonecutter357]

1. wow!

[Hortensis]

80. Yes. But could it work for him?

The American people are sick and tired of their damned smooth politicians." ??

In any case, if this is twice it's not an accident. Plus, the interviews are being talked about... Getting attention.

[lunamagica]

89. I don't think this is the right kind of attention

[Fawke Em]

99. Sure it is. He didn't want to discuss a madman beyond defending his wife.

[lunamagica]

105. I'm not sure, but believe the question he was asked when he walked out was about him accepting the

VP slot, which was asked in a polite, respectful manner

[synergie]

117. Then he should have asked her not to venture into his cave with reporters in tow.

If he seriously intends to follow through with his argument that he is the best GE candidate and presidential material, he needs to stop with the Trumping, and learn why his habit of running away when questioned, undermines him, especially against a woman with better stamina, diplomatic skills and notions of how one behaves in such situations. This is not Burlington.

[treestar]

175. +1 he could not even handle that?

Doesn't make sense for him to have left. He wasn't even being pressed on anything uncomfortable. And a POTUS has to be able to handle that.

[synergie]

189. He seems to have a habit of running away from tough questions, there are videos

of other situations where did the same thing. Really bad optics, really bad protocol and when you contrast this fit with Hill's 11 hour ordeal with people who were actually trying to do the whole gotcha thing for nefarious purposes and who were hostile ....

How does this support the argument he thinks to make to convince pledged delegates to deliver what the voters refused to?

[Jitter65]

130. Not Presidential. More Trump-like. nt

[Spacedog1973]

2. So weak

Completely non-presidential material.

[JaneyVee]

9. This is what happens when Bernie gets vetted.

[workinclasszero]

21. Bingo!

[Politicalboi]

34. But allowing us to see transcripts

Is just not possible. This is what happens when Hillary gets vetted.

[synergie]

122. Hillary has been vetted for decades, this transcript whine is quite literally the same

One that failed when it was used with O's college grades. It is pointless, annoying and the remarkably dumb obsession of those who have no clue and no argument to make.

If you need to pore though things, have Bernie match the tax record releases and then you can at least be less of a hypocrite, and we can see what transcripts and lucrative speeches Bernie might have given, even if Wall Street did not care to hire him.

[dchill]

48. Vetted? What a horrible misspelling of "insulted."

[synergie]

120. No dear, insulting is all that crap you keep hurling at his opponent, delivered to you by right

Wingers. Answering WTF your clueless wife was doing with local morons abasing prisoners is a legitimate question. This is not vetting, it is a part of the current news cycle, and this how campaigns work, it is not all about planted gotcha moments that you spring I your opponent to court voters who are not buying your BS.

Did no one send out the memo on how this works?

[dchill]

176. Is English not your first language?

I hurl no crap. That's your line. I lob facts, which you should easily be able to catch. I won't mention any syndrome to which you may or may not be susceptible. My wife is anything but clueless, like Jane Sanders.

[synergie]

187. You seem to be having some comprehension issues, who mentioned your wife?

Adults discussion doesn't involve throwing things, regardless of what you believe you are throwing.

What syndrome are you referring to? Is that another steaming pile you lobbed under the mistaken impression that it was a 'fact'?

Jane was indeed clueless, it was fair game for Bernie to be asked, those are simple facts. You seem to be stating the Jane was well informed and thus all that nodding she was doing with Joe was well informed agreement, and endorsement of what he was saying.

I'm not sure why you're referring to your wife, but perhaps you should call her over and she can help you with whatever problem you're having understanding English, and she might also explain why asking me such a question is not exactly polite or politically correct, especially since it's rather evident that whatever miscommunication and confusion is going on, is certainly not on my end.

You have certainly lobed interesting things about Jane and her friend Joe Arpaio, i was under the impression that she truly had no idea he'd be there, was surprised and was nodding politely as he outright lied to her and she simply didn't know enough to contradict him with facts.

You seem to be convinced that she was agreeing with and courting Arpaio's favor, perhaps to win over more of that white Republican vote that Bernie might need in a state he's not polling well in.

[Chitown Kev]

60. yep...

[Fawke Em]

84. I'd rather he walk out than play their stupid game.

Most of the media are simply glorified gossip columnists.

He could have stayed and lied about something like other politicians do.

[TheDormouse]

184. because avoiding the press entirely for weeks IS presidential, gotcha

[synergie]

193. Um, actually press conferences have nothng to do with beiing presidential,

but if she were to say, stomp off in the middle of a televised interview because she couldn't handle the questions, that would very much be suspect.

Imagine how the heads would implode if she threw a tantrum like BS did. You don't do things like that when you're trying to convince someone you're presidential.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

3. The focus should be on what that ass ARpaio did to Ms Sanders, crashing her

meeting to do what ever he did.

The key word here is "focus"

Eye on the prize people.

Bernie supporter who will rabidly support Hillary if she is the nominee, speaking here.

[Agnosticsherbet]

4. That wasn't good.

[hrmjustin]

5. Not very presidential.

[JaneyVee]

10. NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!

[dchill]

52. No, she's not!

[bkkyosemite]

28. There is such a YUGE list of un presidental for Hillary but alas I'm too tired to list all of them

[hrmjustin]

30. Lol.

[2pooped2pop]

42. its been listed repeatedly

But somehow her supporters are able to ignore it all at the peril of the world. Then they laughingly cling onto the tiniest flaw in Bernie and act like its even remotely the same.

[dchill]

49. No, she's not?

[hrmjustin]

53. Hillary would not bounce from an interview like he did.

[Shadowflash]

103. Nope. Never.

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=hillary+walks+out+of+interview#

[ljm2002]

109. Well played! n/t

[JTFrog]

144. All that came up were a bunch of conservative links.

Not surprising.

[Shadowflash]

146. Yup.

And, at each one of them (that I clicked on anyway) the conservatives bashing Hillary for the interviews sound just like the criticism Sanders is getting, here, for his.

[Thinkingabout]

155. Did you watch the video? Looked like Bernie to me.

[MaggieD]

154. Please don't post right wing web site crap here

That's bullshit and you know it. Have a little respect for the fact that this site is for supporting Democrats. Not right wing tall tales.

[NurseJackie]

68. His surly demeanor has ALWAYS been something that's bothered me ...

... and now we see it ON FULL DISPLAY. You are absolutely correct, it's not very presidential at all!!!

[HumanityExperiment]

81. wow, now it's the...

'old codger on the front lawn yelling at the neighbors' angle?

So personal attacks is the pivot since HRC supporters can't make a dent on his policy issues since HRC has decided to embrace those very same policy issues as her own?

Yeah, that'll work for ya.. run with that

[NurseJackie]

126. Well ... it's not exactly "just now" as you appear to be suggesting. This has been an ...

Last edited Fri Mar 18, 2016, 03:34 PM - Edit history (1)

... ongoing concern and criticism from many here. (But I see you're "new" having only joined a couple of days ago, so it makes sense that you'd not be aware of how often this has been mentioned before.)

Goodbye. Have a nice day!

[HumanityExperiment]

135. ahh so this type of personal attack is ongoing eh?

thx for clarifying so, personal attacks like this are 'ok' as long as HRC supporters generate them, got it!

new, old or otherwise has no bearing on one's ability to understand the OP and debate the point(s)

[HumanityExperiment]

141. whoa...

I'm making a statement about the personal attack on Bernie...

[NurseJackie]

142. My mistake. Sorry. I'll self delete. But ...

... a personal attack on Bernie? Really? Compared to the attacks and smears against Hillary that have been allowed to stand, this little critique is VERY tame.

I don't see it as an "attack". Oh well.

[HumanityExperiment]

152. it's a meme that's meant to grow wheels...

and you know it

I consider it an 'attack', it's meant to diminish and you know this as well, regardless of how 'tame' you try to frame it

[NurseJackie]

160. It already has.

Anyone who watches late light chat shows knows that. It's just that on this website, the efforts to suppress it have been moderately successful. People in the real world see it even if discussion about it here is limited.

This thing is almost over anyway ... in due time, Hillary will be our nominee and none if this will matter any more.

[HumanityExperiment]

168. so what's good for the goose is good for the gander?

so you shouldn't be surprised nor upset that equal treatment is given to both candidates in this regard eh?

this 'thing' as you well know is hardly over, have all the states weighed in with their votes yet?

Let's allow this to play out until the end and give them the same opportunity we've given those states that have voted shall we?

This will matter, notice how far left HRC has had to go during this primary cycle? This is the exact impact Bernie intended with his candidacy regardless is he wins or not

The more HRC has to make promises that pin her to the left the better it will be for all of us

[ljm2002]

110. I'll take his "surly demeanor"...

...over your ugly DU persona any day of the week, and twice on Sundays.

[Fawke Em]

114. Takes one to know one!

[hrmjustin]

119. Agreed! He comes off as angry.

[cwydro]

149. He came off more as weak to me.

That little interlude will not do anything good for him at all.

[okasha]

113. Trumpish, in fact.

Maybe he and the Donald should get together.

[CalvinballPro]

6. I can't believe his supporters wonder why he's losing. Stuff like this, for starters. n/t

[2pooped2pop]

50. if bernie had started his campaign 12 years ago

Ago like Hillary, she would have been crushed easily. Consider what he has accomplished in just a few months.

[frazzled]

7. Yikes

Imagine him having to deal with foreign leaders in a tense, antagonistic situation. Or even a divided cabinet on a major issue. This angry, my-way-or-the-highway attitude is not a mark of the kind of leadership expected of a president, and explains why so many in Congress have found him difficult to work with.

Walking out on an interview is pretty much unprecedented for a presidential candidate. My husband has remarked that Sanders is not an agile thinker on his feet ... an Obama or a Clinton would know how to talk their way out of criticism with aplomb. Sanders just walks out. Not a good sign.

[JaneyVee]

11. Hillary stayed 11 hours for her Benghazi interview.

[TheCowsCameHome]

13. Subpoenas tend to do that to a person.

[dchill]

40. Snort!

[hrmjustin]

55. Hillary was not subpoenaed to appear.

[Fawke Em]

92. Yes, she was. Long-standing subpoena served back in March 2015. eom

[hrmjustin]

94. I thought it was voluntarily. I stand corrected.

[Logical]

106. Lol, do more reading, get back to us and self delete! Nt

[hrmjustin]

107. Yes I was corrected.

[Logical]

125. No problem, we all do it now and then. nt

[treestar]

177. Sill stood up to 11 hours of grilling

What Bernie walked out of was not even tough questioning. The 4 minutes were up!

[workinclasszero]

23. Right

Bernie doesn't have what it takes to fight the republicans obviously.

[Lizzie Poppet]

35. Like she had a choice?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[NCTraveler]

54. Hillary kicked republicans ass for 11 hours at her Benghazi interview. nt.

[Logical]

159. Yes, because she HAD to be there. nt

[NurseJackie]

65. I couldn't help but to recall also how well she handled that grilling.

Hillary has PROVEN time and time again that she's got what it takes. Bernie just demonstrated that he DOESN'T have what it takes.

[MaggieD]

165. Exactly

[Loudestlib]

8. He's a political celebrity now.

They should have paid him $250,000.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

12. Good on him. He refused to play the game.

[BeyondGeography]

17. Yes, but you don't get to be Principal when you're too cool for school

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

19. And, you may get to be president if you put on good performances on Wall Street.

Not to mention a lotta money.

[BeyondGeography]

29. I'm not going to rag on Bernie the man

I think he's processing a lot of stuff right now and it's getting to him. I hope he regroups and gets back to chugging along in his usual mode. The prospect of winning this thing has left him vulnerable to disappointments.

[brooklynite]

22. I'm sure his fans feel that way; how will the undecided voters react?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

44. You're guess is as good as anyone else's.

[Fawke Em]

93. I know for a fact that people like it when someone tells the media to "fuck off."

I worked in media for 13 years. A lot of people waited to see who we'd endorse so they could vote the opposite.

[bkkyosemite]

33. That's is exactly what he did...no game playing you stupid interviewer.........biased as hell

that station.

[KPN]

51. I agree.

Instead of focusing on Joe Arapaio, the interview started out as an attack on Bernie and his wife. With the treatment the media has given him to date, I would have done the same.

I don't think this will affect anyone who is already a Bernie supporter, but the media will sure use it to influence those on the fence.

[mmonk]

59. +1

[NuclearDem]

14. Sanders and Trump are both going to have to realize

that a president doesn't have the luxury of throwing a tantrum and storming out when things don't go their way.

[Politicalboi]

41. Or that they can hide contributions

And transcripts from the people. Do as she says, not as she does.

[KPN]

56. Lol!

Moronic! Just plain ludicrous to equate the two. You win the prize for false equivalence!

[NuclearDem]

61. Sanders has made a habit of storming out of interviews and press conferences.

And so has Donald Trump.

In this case, they're absolutely equivalent.

[AgingAmerican]

98. List them

[Surya Gayatri]

67. Amazingly similar behaviors. Petulant surliness. Total lack of statecraft.

[ljm2002]

118. Tantrum? Storming out??

I don't know what (partial) interview you watched, but there was no tantrum and no storming out, although there was indeed an "abrupt end" to the interview.

Interesting, however, that we have only seen the very end of the interview. Let's see the whole interview to get the context, shall we? Right now it looks like that station has an axe to grind and they are using their media platform to gin up some controversy and some interest in the interview.

[NowSam]

15. Bernie is a man of principle

And is true to his principles. I respect that.

[gollygee]

16. He is not as good a campaigner and this is an example

If you attack someone's spouse, they get angry. Someone who has more national campaign experience is going to handle things like this better than Bernie did, but a lot of Bernie's appeal is that he is an outsider who doesn't have that experience and therefore isn't as practiced with how to respond to attacks on one's spouse.

[ljm2002]

121. You know, there are objective ways to measure...

...whether someone is a "good campaigner".

Coming from 3% support a few months ago, to giving the hugely-well-funded, hugely-well-recognized Hillary Clinton a real run for her money, while having negative support from the party apparatus, is pretty much the textbook definition of being a "good campaigner". In fact it is pretty much the textbook definition of being a "great campaigner".

It's not like Clinton has never walked out on an interview... but you knew that, right? If you have bothered to read this thread through, you really should know that.

[Freddie Stubbs]

18. Complains that the media won't cover him--walks out on interview

[workinclasszero]

24. LOLZ

[Surya Gayatri]

76. Oh, sweet, sweet irony! LOL!

[workinclasszero]

153. Love it!

[cwydro]

82. Bingo.

Just like so many of his supporters complaining he gets no media attention - and then refuse to watch Rachel Maddow interview.

[JaneyVee]

90. Nailed it.

[workinclasszero]

20. Wow

How presidential

[Politicalboi]

47. Like barking like a dog

[Bad Thoughts]

25. Bad graphic, but it really is not clear what happened

The clip is very curtly edited. It's not clear that this deserves the "oh,noes!" reaction.

[bkkyosemite]

36. And that is on purpose..the interviewer said Bernie said our four minutes are up..yet Bernie

said thank you, thank you very much...........keep up the clapping and the cheering..Hillary has acted far far worse then Bernie being upset at his wife's treatment and silent threat by that damn sheriff.

[Bad Thoughts]

43. "Keep up the clapping"? eom.

[ljm2002]

124. The TV station is playing it up...

...while omitting any context that the full interview would provide. So of course Clinton's supporters on here on DU are milking it for all it's worth.

I will say thanks to the admins for making their priorities clear. You changed the rules in the middle of the game just so the most rabid Hillary supporters could come back on board and mix it up with us Bernie supporters. We do have them outnumbered, which must gall you. But you have made sure that the front page of the site will no longer reflect the clear preference of the majority of your members.

Well I'll tell you something else that is going to gall you, admins: when we Bernie supporters here at DU stop contributing to your (no longer our) site. Unfortunately I gave right before realizing how strong the bias was here on the part of the site owners. But when the time comes, absent some earth-shattering change, it is highly unlikely I would contribute $$$ here again.

You have actively alienated the majority of your contributing members here. Not the best strategy going forward.

[TexasBushwhacker]

134. That's what I was thinking

They only show part of a response to an unknown question. We have no idea what the interviewer asked him or said. And what kind of name is "Brahm" anyway?

[marions ghost]

26. LOL, ridiculous implication

--people abruptly end interviews all the time. He was polite about it. Obviously he was not happy about what happened to his wife, but he was polite. Maybe he had to go to the bathroom. I am sure that Hillary and Barack would have done the same. No biggie.

The TV station is trying to make a little "newz" out of this. Sad attempt.

[bkkyosemite]

37. And it will backfire...idiots

[marions ghost]

62. Hopefully...

[JonathanRackham]

27. If Hillary did it.

She might get a standing ovation.

[kath]

38. Hillary does very, very few interviews (Tweety kissing her ass is an exception), just scripted

Events, often with a hand-picked audience.

[jonno99]

31. A non-story. It should be titled. "Bernie, not a reporter decides when to end the interview..." nt

[DFab420]

32. SO he does the full interview then ends it? I'm confused

He didn't walk out, the interview ended. That's usually what happens.

[JackRiddler]

181. Watch it. They didn't show the interview.

They showed about 20 seconds wrapped in vague spectacularization of what might have been in the interview, which you're supposed to watch tomorrow. It's a promo treating the interview as a reality TV segment or click-bait. "You won't believe what happened! And we're not telling you until later! Keep watching!"

[azurnoir]

39. the question he ws asked is not included in the video which cuts in mid reply Hmmm

and the question he walked out on was would you accept a vice presidential spot?

[Lucinda]

45. Looks like the pressure is getting to him... n/t

[workinclasszero]

85. He knows the game is over

Its gonna be real tough for Bernie to keep propping up the rotting facade of his failed campaign.

[Lizzie Poppet]

46. Because it had ended. Learn to ratfuck better.

You're terrible at it. Learn from your Anita-Hill-slandering mentor David Brock and get back to us, m'kay?

Nothing worse than a shitty knife in the kitchen...

[ohheckyeah]

57. Deflect, deflect, deflect. This isn't about Hillary it's about Bernie.

And he acted like a grouchy old man.

[still_one]

58. He was doing fine in the interview, and then he screwed it up by ending the interview abruptly.

[ljm2002]

63. They don't show the whole interview...

...just the very end. I will wait to see the whole interview.

[NurseJackie]

64. You'd never hear the end of it if Hillary did something like that!!

I guess this is what vetting looks like.

This is just SO un-presidential. It's passive-aggressive bullying. I can't believe it (well I can believe it, but I'm very surprised that he'd behave this way.)

Is this what a Sanders "Presidential" Press Conference would be like?

It's almost as if he's given up and doesn't care what anyone thinks. Perhaps he understands that he's not going to be the nominee, so it's easier for him to say (essentially) "fuckit, I don't have to put up with this, it doesn't matter anyway"

I guess this is a good clue to what he'd be like when having to deal with political adversaries and perhaps when negotiating deals and when talking with foreign leaders whenever trying to find solutions to any disagreement.

It paints a picture of a man who does not value what others have to say, or what their opinion are, if they differ from his own thoughts and ideas and priorities.

[AzDar]

66. Presidential?

LMAO. Yeah... keep trying.

[JaneyVee]

186. That was pretty awesome. Thanks for posting.

[flamingdem]

69. I thought he sounded just fine, the man is busy so he was done

and the program tried to make news out of it.

He said thank you very much but the program chose to show him getting up rather than editing.

Right wing perhaps?

[marions ghost]

78. Yep

the station's editorial bias is showing...

[sufrommich]

71. If Hillary did it we'd have 10 OPs calling her "her highness"

and accusing her of being haughty and privileged. See how that works?

[basselope]

72. Good for him.

[aikoaiko]

73. Bernie has the gravitas to make that work -- other candidates not so much.

[HumanityExperiment]

74. Shorter...

HRC supporters think Bernie is a bad man for walking out

How can they make a meme out of this now...



What's next? If this is the BEST they can bring up in an attempt to smear him it obviously shows a growing desperation to locate all the 'kitchen sinks' they can find to toss in to get him out of the primary race...

Imagine if a Bernie supporter posted an OP like this and the resulting replies that followed, why are HRC supporters doing the very thing they would chastise Bernie supporters from doing...

and HRC folks wonder why all these posts occur that are critical of HRC's character and temperament, let alone her weather vane policy position shifts

[alcibiades_mystery]

75. The wheels are coming off The Political Revolution (tm)

SMDH.

[workinclasszero]

87. Oh yeah!

[MoonRiver]

79. I don't think he's able to cope with the stress of this campaign.

Bernie needs to go home to Vermont and rest. Jane may have ambitions of her own. So be it.

[Fawke Em]

83. Loved it!!!

I like someone who doesn't play with the idiot media who is only interested in "she said, he said" politics.

This was AWESOME.

I am a trained journalist and I hate what the media has become in the 13-14 years since I left it. All corporate cronies with the mentality of gossip columnists. No substance.

He defended his wife and left.

Good for him!

[azretired]

86. Bernie did the right thing and 12 year old rape victim remembers HRC

Obviously it was another fake interview from another HRC loving Comcast (NBC, MSNBC, etc.) employee. He wanted to pretend that Jane Sanders actually met with Joe Arpiao rather than the facts. (you can see that HRC lie pitched as truth this morning here on DU) He joined her, uninvited, for a review of the tent prison Arizona is so proud of, and he refused to answer questions about his office's repeated abuse of Latinos. Typical David Brock, the symbol of integrity for the HRC camp. the national news will never question her lies, so why not offer a few more?

By the way, for all you Hillary supporters. would Hillary walk out on an interview in which an honest reporter (there are some) asked if she, after her time with The Children's Defense Fund (about which she boasts constantly because, you know, she is a person who cares about children. etc) really did intentionally inflict perverse misogynistic pain on a 12 year old rape victim who was so brutalized she spent 4 days in a coma? The victim says HRC included lied about her and falsely accused a 12 year old virgin of promiscuity and repeated false allegations of rape- and then laughed at what a "miscarriage of justice" it would have been for HRC's male client to serve a long prison term?

128. This is correct. A "playdate"

I saw this event described as in an OP the Hillary group. Disgusting behavior.

[Thinkingabout]

163. And women remember his article of women fantasying about being raped.

[azretired]

171. Did you hear Hillary's tape? Did you see the courthouse record- all online

Are you, too, calling the 12 year old rape victim a liar?

[Thinkingabout]

173. She was acting as attorney for the person charged in the crime, a right we have as

Citizens to have representation and a trial. As a woman I did not need to be represented by Bernie's thoughts of women's fantasies. He was wrong and he even sent the article to be published.

[azretired]

195. Are you even listening?

I am a long time defender of women's rights, including providing free legal services to more than 3000 women victims of domestic violence.

I am a retired lawyer and former law professor.

You are quite right that HRC was right to defend the man. I have reluctantly represented people I would never select to represent, but did so because I was ordered to do so by the Court. That is not the issue.

The issue is HRC's conduct as a human being both in the case and after the case.

She accused a 12 year old virgin of being promiscuous and of previously filing false rape charges. That was in a pleading signed by HRC in the lawsuit. Her signature to that document signified that she had, on her oath as a lawyer, investigated the claims she was making and had reasonable grounds to believe they were true.

That is the law. Those kind of statements abut women victims of rape and domestic violence are, thank God, no longer part of the battle fpr women's respect and dignity. But Hillary did it- to a 12 year old who says it was a complete lie.

Who would you believe? The ambitious lawyer trying to game the system by attacking a girl's innocence or the 12 year old? I don't have any doubt who you would believe if it were a man saying that a young girl.

I am sure you would not be supporting any man who acted as she did. Male chauvinistic pig, misogynist would both be appropriate terms for a man who did what she did.

That was during the case. A link to the official court record is online at the address I sent earlier.

Then, after she had finished the case, Hillary did an interview with a newsman. The audio of that interview is also online. In that interview she boasted that getting the adult male off with a few months in jail prevented. she said laughingly, a "miscarriage of justice." In other words sending a man to prison for a long time for the brutal rape of a 12 year old girl who was in a coma for four days and 10 years of therapy would be a "miscarriage of justice."

I am sorry. I would love to see a woman become president. But anyone, man or woman, who treats a child this way is, for me, unfit for any office.

I have no idea what you are talking about when you apparently refer to BS. I would be wiling to look at anything you can refer me to. I do not think, however, that we profit much by comparing evils. In my mind, as a lawyer for near 50 years, HRC's conduct toward this young girl constitutes child abuse and, in any case, is absolutely indefensible and she should have been disciplined by the bar.

[Thinkingabout]

200. When did the right of those accused lose the right to representation?

I get the abuse, this is why having some one write about women's fantasies of being raped disgusts me. The difference is Hillary as an attorney defended a person charged with rape is not the same or even close to doing the crime. When someone "writes" about women being raped and has that article published brings a large question into my mind of what is the person thinking. Never in the article was rape said to have been disgusting and a crime. You want to put a rapist as a very bad person, i agree, i also dont care for "fantasies of rape". Sanders does not get a pass here.

[cwydro]

88. Yeah, that's a bad look.

I like him and his ideas, but from the beginning I doubted he had what it takes to be president.

He simply would not win in a general election.

[surrealAmerican]

91. Despite the commentator's spin, we're going to have to see the whole interview ...

... before we can know what's going on here.

[riversedge]

95. Tweet...#vettingBernie

Bernie Sanders walks out of another interview--http://www.12news.com/mb/news/12-news-one-on-one-with-bernie-sanders/87672745 #vettingBernie Not good temperament for ComanderinChief #ImwithHer

[Fawke Em]

111. Looked at that hashtag.

Bunch of Clinton supporters spreading lies.

Thanks for letting me see it. I'll be setting them straight today.

[AgingAmerican]

96. Zero context

Heavily edited video

[RandiFan1290]

100. Good

Fuck the right wing media

[Jarqui]

101. Good for Bernie. He's the candidate. Go after him. Not his wife.

The media following up on Arpaio crashing Jane's visit to the tent city brings attention to something that upset Bernie. He doesn't have to sit through that.

[whatchamacallit]

115. I agree. I wish he hadn't walked out, but he probably saw red when they made it about Jane.

He's a true blue guy.

[riversedge]

102. What do you mean by "another" interview?

[JonLeibowitz]

151. It jut adds drama. Of course, there never was a previous interview.

[riversedge]

156. umm. I will find out for myself.

[JonLeibowitz]

164. You do that. Not sure why you post the need to do that here.

[nichomachus]

104. He might have stayed if they paid him $250,000

And kept what he said a secret.

[synergie]

108. What is going on with that campaign??

[CrispyQ]

112. I thought I was going to see Bernie interrupting the interviewer, being rude & storming out.

But no, he did what a lot of politicians do - he answered the question, set the interviewer straight, & didn't take anymore.

[grossproffit]

123. That's the most watched news channel in Arizona.

[TM99]

172. And if you lived here, you would

understand that that doesn't mean much.

An attempt was made to link Arpaio to Jane Sanders. He stood up to it, finished the interview in the allotted time, and moved on.

That team Clinton is trying yet again to make this a smear does not surprise me in the least.

[Trust Buster]

129. I've been wondering something over the last week.

I know from reading presidential biographies how a grueling campaign can take it's toll on a candidate's health. Every time I've seen Bernie over the past week his face has been red, he seems to be under extreme stress and short with people. Am I the only one that thinks that Bernie might have an escalating health condition ?

[JonLeibowitz]

133. Hopefully. I would hate to think anyone else has such serious misunderstandings.

Hope it's just you that's having this trouble.

[Trust Buster]

185. That was a pretty immature response to a serious question.

[grossproffit]

147. I think he's as healthy as a horse, a horse that just happens to have a bit of a temper.

[aaaaaa5a]

136. This is the fault of the campaign not Bernie

Every reporter in the world wants to do an interview. There is only so much time. The reporter was only suppose to take 4 minutes. If every interview runs long with the candidate, there won't be time to get anything else done in the day.


Every campaign (if done correctly) has a press person or "information officer" who handles such detail. Often times their job is to be the "bad guy" and end interview sessions when they go over their allowed time, breach subjects they agreed not to bring up, etc. etc.


The reporter was wrong. He was taking more time than what he had agreed to. The Sanders campaign is terribly run, because the candidate should never have to end an interview like that. There should be someone there to do that for him.

[Skwmom]

137. Hillary has no hard interviews. Why would she walk. n/t

[HumanityExperiment]

138. Shorter...

HRC supporters: "Bernie's an old man on the front lawn yelling at the neighbors meme"

Hmmm... what's the comparable meme for Hillary?

Let's reverse engineer this sucker shall we?

[hamsterjill]

139. To me, it just shows he can't handle the heat.

Hillary can.

I like Bernie. I'm a Hillary supporter, but I like Bernie. This disappoints me in Bernie.

[EndElectoral]

143. I think he was furious that his wife was being attacked for trying to visit the tent city

And felt the media was trying to imply she had come there to meet Joe the Sheriff.

He was perturbed. Rightly so. He's quite private with his family.

[sufrommich]

145. His wife is campaigning for him. What did the

interviewer say that made him so angry?

[EndElectoral]

197. You're making the assumption she's campaigning. Not a lot of voters in Tent City.

I think what made Bernie upset was that the interviewer began the interview with a question relating to his wife being seen with Sheriff Joe. Bernie's wife has been in the background his entire campaign, and now this interviewer is implying that somehow she is appearing willingly with Sheriff Joe, a known toxic a-hole, which is deceptive.

With all the issues facing this country and Arizona, why would an interviewer seek to humiliate his wife on an interview with a Presidential candidate?

C'mon, you may not like Bernie, but give his wife a break. This interviewer attempted to use her. That's not news, that's sensationalism, and with Mrs. Sanders trusting demeanor, despicable.

[MaggieD]

148. Bernie has issues

[Logical]

158. LOLOLOL.....Hillary has many many many more. Want a list? nt

[MaggieD]

162. Sure - give a list

Go right ahead.

[Logical]

167. lol, you will say they are all good traits. nt

[MaggieD]

169. Where is the list?

[Logical]

174. LOL, everyone knows the list. Look at her trustworthiness numbers and we can start there. Then....

lets see those transcripts. Why not release them unless she is worried.

Let me know if you need a few more.

[MaggieD]

192. So no list then?

You offered it up as some kind of boast. Where is it?

[frylock]

150. The Hillarian's newfound love affair with the MSM is cute.

Kinda like their love for the southern states, this will all change if She gets the nomination.

[LuvLoogie]

157. It's an act. He's genuinely pissed, but Bernie is setting up

for a sour grapes Independent run.

[Logical]

161. Link? Proof? Or just you making shit up? nt

[riversedge]

166. After Bernie walked off the the interview--he LATER had an excuse....

Bernie Sanders stood up and walked out in the middle of this TV interview http://theweek.com/speedreads/613703/bernie-sanders-stood-walked-middle-tv-interview … #ImwithHer #feeltheBern NOT #p2



..............Everything started as usual. Sanders answered Resnick's question about a confrontation between his wife and Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, describing it as an "outrage." "The fact that he crashed her meeting is, to me, very, very wrong, not something he should have done," Sanders said of Arpaio's impromptu stop-in on his wife's visit to a "tent city" and the sheriff's lack of answers to his wife's questions about racial profiling and inequality.

And with that, Sanders stood up and walked out. Resnick was already beginning to ask another question, which went unacknowledged by Sanders.

The Vermont senator later said that Resnick had simply run over on time. "Sanders said my allotted four minutes were up and so he walked away," Resnick said, noting that Sanders was "the first candidate who's ever walked away."

Watch the exchange below. Becca Stanek

[Bill USA]

170. imagine the kind of questions he'd get if he was the nominee & GOP propaganda machine was firing

away at HIM!! Then M$M interviewers would rephrase all the GOP accusations into questions for Bernie to respond to.

The GOP Toadies who ARE M$M are, as we've seen with Clinton, dedicated to giving GOP disinformation a veneer of legitimacy.

[grasswire]

178. oh noes!!!

Alert the media.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

179. I hope the pressure isn't becoming too much for him.

[JackRiddler]

180. Actually it's 20 edited seconds of interview wrapped in 3 minutes of TV promo blah blah

And no explanation of what actually prompted him to walk out, since they are using as the promotional for a later broadcast of the 3 minutes. In other words, they took 3 minutes to NOT SHOW the interview and instead advertise the FUTURE SHOWING of the interview, and to NOT EXPLAIN (or not allow the video itself to explain) why Sanders walked out at that point. It looks like the TV personality ("journalist&quot was insisting on the VP question, probably repeating it over and over. Or else he was trying to sandbag Sanders on Arpaio (since Jane visited the tent camp and Arpaio surprised her and she didn't shoot her, so maybe now in Clintonland she's a Minuteman too).

In any case, whether or not the actual interview will look bad, this news show exposes itself as having no integrity. Instead of the vide, three minutes of promotional with confusing snippets, for the promised broadcast of a three minute video? Really?

Reality TV and Click-bait culture as News. ("You won't believe what Sanders did next! Coming right after our short 9-minute commercial break!&quot Shameful.

[slipslidingaway]

191. + 100!!! The FULL interview is on their site ...

it comes on right after the video of Jane Sanders, video on the right side is abbreviated version. After getting up and removing his microphone, he sits back down. Appears there may have been another interview scheduled??? He is on a pretty tight schedule with all the rallies that are planned.

[JackRiddler]

194. In other words, even less real than CNN's creation of the "Dean scream"

[Nye Bevan]

182. Maybe he needed to use the restroom?

My father-in-law is a similar age and needs to go more than he used to.

[mcar]

183. Hillary or Obama would be eviscerated if they did this

In the media, online, and certainly here.

[DesertRat]

188. Bernie doesn't have the temperament to be president

Presidents can't just bolt when they get a question they don't like.

[AgingAmerican]

196. Hillary has done it several times

[Beacool]

198. More than him walking out, what annoyed me is that he pivoted to attacking Hillary.

The reporter's question was about his wife and Arpaio. It had nothing to do with Hillary. He immediately went into his standard talking points about not voting for the war in Iraq her paid speeches, etc.

[R B Garr]

199. Wow, thanks for posting this. His anger is so out of line and irrational.

Every candidate is grilled and he obviously can't take the heat. He just wants to rattle off his little soap box and that's it. He's in so over his head. What a sad ending this is becoming.

[dogman]

201. Watch the whole ending.
