To celebrate his failure, I wouldn’t connect that to his heart attack at all.

There were people who tried to politicize his heart attack at the time and that failed to do much.

This protest was not alluding to the deaths in Joe’s family at all and I think people are making that connection cynically.

Go ahead and bring your card board coffin to a Bernie event if you wish.

campaigns to play nice. No other campaign attracts ugly stunts and riff-raff.
