believes Bernie is in cahoots with the Russians, but clearly Russia wants to help him become the Democratic nominee, because they believe Trump can beat him.

It certainly is not Sanders' fault, but it does seem to indicate he would be a weak general election candidate.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
I don't think he wants Russian help. Turin_C3PO Feb 2020 #1
Maybe so (which i do not doubt) BUT bluestarone Feb 2020 #4
Why did he keep it quiet for a month? The point is Cha Feb 2020 #18
I DO NOT have an answer to that. BUT bluestarone Feb 2020 #19
Didn't Say he Was! Cha Feb 2020 #24
Why would he share classified information? Garrett78 Feb 2020 #23
So we know it was all classified? Or was only some of it classified? Maybe he could of left out UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #27
It was the very first thing he said to the press. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #32
He said I go to many intelligence briefings that we don't reveal to the public nothing about it UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #33
An intelligence briefing involving a foreign adversary? Uh, yeah, that's gonna be classified. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #35
You just said he addressed it being classified and I showed you he didn't. nt UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #36
Like I said, I think it's a given. But make hay if you must. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #38
It's not classified information. lapucelle Feb 2020 #30
+1000 UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #34
Huh? Is your issue that he didn't use the word "classified?" Garrett78 Feb 2020 #37
My issue is that people are spreading misinformation about the nature of the briefing. N/T lapucelle Feb 2020 #40
Do you really think that WaPo would put classified information on their front page? lapucelle Feb 2020 #41
And he's been allowing them to for a month without saying anything about it. Squinch Feb 2020 #11
I don't think he minds that much, he wants it that bad. redstatebluegirl Feb 2020 #20
I agree ibegurpard Feb 2020 #2
What bothers me is him sitting on the information for a month. rzemanfl Feb 2020 #3
+1 After 2016, he knows better, or did but saw the opportunity for OnDoutside Feb 2020 #21
I just had someone tell me I shouldn't rehash 2016 in another thread. rzemanfl Feb 2020 #22
+1000 Good point about the ballots I guess that was the point. nt UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #26
He doesn't have to be. LakeArenal Feb 2020 #5
Bernie was probably told it was classified marlakay Feb 2020 #6
Then he needs to hold a press conference and explain why he didn't say anything at the time ibegurpard Feb 2020 #10
IMO, infighting about the Democratic candidates helps no one but Trump. Arkansas Granny Feb 2020 #7
Exactly bluestarone Feb 2020 #14
He knew this for a month and did not denounce them... IluvPitties Feb 2020 #8
I don't think anyone here PatSeg Feb 2020 #9
Believe what you want. What is clear-his campaign is an asset to them apcalc Feb 2020 #12
I too agree, but... pfeiffer Feb 2020 #13
Perhaps the Intel was classified so he couldn't talk about it until it was public. hedda_foil Feb 2020 #16
That's not what BS said when he was asked. lapucelle Feb 2020 #39
THEY just want to cause us to self destruct, elleng Feb 2020 #15
Thank you blustarone iwannaknow Feb 2020 #17
I'm pretty sure there is nobody saying this. I would NEVER think Sanders would solicit or do UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #25
Why didnt Sanders denounce outside involvement in US elections when he found out he was being helped uponit7771 Feb 2020 #28
Yes cherryinpa Feb 2020 #29
But the result is the same as if he had solicited their help, isn't it? Squinch Feb 2020 #31
I'm watching myself for misplaced emotional reaction Mersky Feb 2020 #42
