We're one news cycle away from being told that Bernie has no right to campaign in New York City

[DanTex]

Sirota nails it again.

Also, is anyone else curious why Bernie is the only candidate that these pundits demand should stay away from MA and MN?

1. That's a particularly stupid analogy by Sirota, but then it is Sirota.

[AGeddy]

5. +1

[Sugarcoated]

60. I seem to remember Sirota on Al Franken's radio show

I don't recall thinking he was off base about anything major on those appearances but then again, it was the W years.

[lunasun]

2. So he is not to campaign there out of respect ? I think Warren + Amy can handle it Howard 🙄

[guillaumeb]

3. All candidates should have a 50 state strategy.

Instead, states that voter after super Tuesday are treated as after thoughts.

[rzemanfl]

4. Always exaggerate. Got it. n/t

[Hassin Bin Sober]

10. If last week you posted a tweet/article about Bernie being misogynist for campaigning in MA....

I would say the same thing. But here we are.

[rzemanfl]

15. This-

"Also, is anyone else curious why Bernie is the only candidate that these pundits demand should stay away from MA and MN?" Find me the demand, I am prepared to wait until hell freezes over, to quote another good Democrat.

SMDH.

[sheshe2]

55. ;)

[rzemanfl]

50. Still waiting. n/t

[David__77]

6. Is Fineman trying to be "chivalrous?"

Curious.

[ehrnst]

7. Sirota - that bastion of journalistic reliability...

From a Bogus Website to Bernie Sanders's Inner Circle

David Sirota got fired from a Philly campaign 20 years ago for a racially charged “dirty trick” before he first went to work for the progressive from Vermont.

Face facts, Dan. If any other candidate hired someone with this background, you'd have posted at least five OPs talking about how it was 'disqualfying'...

[DanTex]

9. LOL. You sure do care what some people did decades ago. But not others!

[ehrnst]

11. You mean like Marching with MLK 57 years ago?

Or chaining oneself to a black woman and getting arrested around the same time?

You "don't care" about anything that happened that long ago?

AWKWARD....

[NYMinute]

27. hehehehehehehe nt

[betsuni]

46. Ha!

[sheshe2]

59. They did not attend the 55 year Anniversary for Bloody Sunday in Selma!

He had a rally in CA after all.

What is his slogan again?

We not Me

You not Me.

Oh wait...

Not Me, Us.

Methinks I could rewrite that for a better fit. I shall leave it for another day.

[ehrnst]

61. "Civil rights icon...."

[mcar]

18. Goldwater Girl

[ehrnst]

19. I know, right?

And that was when she was a teenager, not a grown ass adult!

[mcar]

21. This!

[ehrnst]

23. Some people just don't learn, do they?

[George II]

25. Except that Sirota's still doing it here in 2020.

[ehrnst]

28. Yes, there's that...

[NYMinute]

26. Only five?

[ehrnst]

38. I'm being kind.

[Cha]

40. really.

[Cha]

39. Touche!

Don't mess with ehrnst

[brooklynite]

8. What is this rant referring to?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

12. .

Link to tweet

[brooklynite]

13. Sirota is angry about one pundit's opinion?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

14. There is also a Boston Globe piece saying the same thing. Calling it "shabby" for campaigning in Ma.

[brooklynite]

16. So--TWO pundits?

[ehrnst]

17. OMG - TWO WHOLE PUNDITS?

[mcar]

22. Release the Twitterati!

[NYMinute]

31. Release the Russian bots or plan a trip to Vatican -- just do something!

[rzemanfl]

42. Still waiting BTW. n/t

[ehrnst]

45. Don't hold your breath. (nt)

[rzemanfl]

47. I shan't.

[trueblue2007]

20. what a STUPID thing for Sirota to say. WEAVER, TURNER and now Sirota

BS hires really stupid people. none of them are liked by the voters. i have read so many negative things by people on this board about bernie supporters.

[Farmer-Rick]

54. Yeah, no negative comment about Bernie or his supporters

Fails to be posted by Russian trolls here on DU.

Then they stand back and try to antagonize everyone.

Don't you just hate it?

[gollygee]

24. They're both being silly here. nt

[RandySF]

29. It's my good friend Dave who threatened me with violence in 2008.

[NYMinute]

30. Sirota likes to be the Roger Stone type

epic fail

[DanTex]

32. You're comparing Sirota to a convicted felon? Really?

[NYMinute]

33. No - just the political trickster operative area - nothing else

I bet Sirota doesn't have a Bernie tattoo on his back like Roger Stone has Nixons as well.

[ehrnst]

34. +10000.

[DanTex]

35. Stone is a *criminal* operative. Seriously, the comparison is nuts.

[ehrnst]

36. Hon, they said "type" not actually a criminal like Roger Stone.

I mean, it's not like Sirota is a superdelegate who worked as a business associate and consultant to a convicted criminal felon associated directly with Trump.

I mean, like, say, Tad Devine and Paul Manafort.

[ehrnst]

43. Crickets..

[SharonClark]

37. Well that was silly on Fineman and Sirota's part.

Hardly worth getting in a huff about and posting here.

[Gothmog]

41. sanders has shown extremely poor judgment in staffing decisions

Hiring and not firing a liar like Sirota is a great example. The fact that other senior sanders staffers are stein voters also show bad judgment

[dem4decades]

51. Just what we need.

[showblue22]

44. This is a very divisive tweet.

[MrsCoffee]

48. From the vaults of perpetual victimhood.

Bernie the ever victim. Pathetic.

No one demanded anything, but it’s cute to rile up the base. Can’t wait to hear the bros booing Elizabeth and Amy at his upcoming rallies.

[TheFarseer]

49. I think it's horrible

He’s going to campaign against poor Mike in his home city. Billionaires have suffered enough at the hands of anti billionaireites.

[mr_lebowski]

52. Sirota sounds dumb (nt)

[DanTex]

53. I find him to be very intelligent, well-informed, and quick-witted.

[NurseJackie]

56. I have higher standards. He's none of those things in my estimation.

[rzemanfl]

57. Your "findings" are noted. n/t

[MrsCoffee]

62. Well that explains a lot.

[OAITW r.2.0]

58. I think this is a BS argument against BS.

Why the fuck should I think Howard Fineman has anymore insight than I do? Except he is willing to trade reality for an excellent personnel revenue stream?
