Why are people giving Bernie all the credit for Hillary's education plan?

[beam me up scottie]

200. Lol. That blogger is full of crap. Warren, Harris and Gillibrand also got credit as cosponsors.

First Melissa claims this is Hillary's plan - except it's not.

Bernie wrote legislation for tuition free college two years ago, Hillary followed his lead and created her own plan - which she changed while working with Bernie in July AFTER the primary was over. Both fought for their own plans during the primary and both compromised after it was over.

So no, this isn't just Hillary's plan.

Secondly Melissa lies about Bernie taking the credit - which is bullshit because he's just one of several cosponsors in the senate.

In fact if she had unbunched her panties long enough to watch the video she would have noticed Bernie was joined by senators Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris, Richard Blumenthal, Chris Murphy and Kirsten Gillibrand along with their house colleagues - and they introduced the bill TOGETHER.

Sanders introduced the bill in the Senate along with Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.). In the House, Reps. Bobby Scott (D-Va.), Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), Rick Nolan (D-Minn.), Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.), Nydia Velázquez (D-N.Y.), John Conyers (D-Mich.), Peter Welch (D-Vt.), Mark Pocan (D-Wis.), David Cicilline (D-R.I.) and Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) joined Jayapal as co-sponsors of the legislation.

So why is Melissa only venting her outrage at Bernie anyway? Shouldn't she include Warren and the other cosponsors in her rant?

Oh wait - Melissa couldn't include the other senators in her poutrage because then she couldn't pretend this is all about a MAN stealing from a WOMAN

And if Melissa can't keep pitting the sexes against each other before you know it she'll be out of work.


Seriously - what is Bernie supposed to do, quit doing his job and co-introducing legislation because it pisses Melissa off whenever she sees him?

She needs to put on her big girl pants and get over it because Bernie's not going anywhere. And that's fine with Democrats who don't care who's fighting for us as long as they FIGHT. As long as Bernie keeps walking the walk we could care less about whatever sour grapes Melissa is having for dinner.

Let it go Melissa. Seriously, you're embarrassing yourself and Secretary Clinton with your pouting. We have a real enemy out there and his name is Donald Trump. Hillary and Bernie are both doing their part and many other leaders are also fighting tooth and nail for us. It's time to stop trying to vilify them just to get a few clicks.
