I'm getting that he is implying he is not for open borders but ya know those UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #42

That's how I'm reading it too mcar Apr 2019 #54

Yep, trust Bernie MH1 Apr 2019 #66

According to the RW talking points, Democrats are all for open borders. Lancero Apr 2019 #77

Right. No sensible person's for "open borders" in this world, Hortensis Apr 2019 #86

Where do you see "wall" or any reference to a wall in this statement? dogman Apr 2019 #2

Thank you for providing a case-in-point. Sinistrous Apr 2019 #34

"Bash Bernie Brigade", really? George II Apr 2019 #45

Yep. Sinistrous Apr 2019 #85

Which is odd, since his statement is pretty much the party platform. Lancero Apr 2019 #75

When the first part of the quote is selectively left out it changes things. Autumn Apr 2019 #15

Yes. dogman Apr 2019 #21

We know how stampedes work. Autumn Apr 2019 #52

Why is he even saying "IF YOU OPEN THE BORDERS"...who says that? Who wants that? Why UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #43

He was asked at a town hall why he supports open borders. He doesn't, he clarified that Autumn Apr 2019 #44

Thank you for the snip. I think he should of left out that last paragraph completely. I 'don't UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #46

Well we probably could leave that out if we are answering questions at a town hall. Autumn Apr 2019 #51

Oh brother! Good luck with yourself. nt UniteFightBack Apr 2019 #61

Don't need luck. I'm doing just fine, thank you. nt Autumn Apr 2019 #63

Oh please, gimme a break. He is resonding to the Republican talking points that vsrazdem Apr 2019 #3

I don't think anybody is in favor of open borders. That's what Trump likes to accuse The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #4

"Open borders" is a trump concoction - one of "our" candidates talking about that is essentially.... George II Apr 2019 #7

I think it's a term that's best avoided because using it makes the candidate sound like The Velveteen Ocelot Apr 2019 #12

It just sounds that way when a person decided to only quote a small part that suits their narrative. Autumn Apr 2019 #20

His first clause is fine, the rest of it falls into the Dotard mcar Apr 2019 #56

We know why he is using these words, we know. We know. Eliot Rosewater Apr 2019 #22

Then you should enlighten the rest of us please. Autumn Apr 2019 #26

And we know why people chop parts of the quotes. We know we know Hassin Bin Sober Apr 2019 #29

Yes, I've seen several members parse quotes and articles on this site. TexasTowelie Apr 2019 #53

NO Democrat is advocating "open borders" or "opening the border". What Democrats rightfully.... George II Apr 2019 #5

Trumps favorite candidate Renew Deal Apr 2019 #6

He has started limiting his populist speech in this area. WeekiWater Apr 2019 #8

Bernie,You can peal off that mask now... dubyadiprecession Apr 2019 #9

... BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #19

I have asked this now several times, will it matter? Eliot Rosewater Apr 2019 #28

Nothing ... Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #32

We have to stop fucking around and WARN people, I am losing patience. Eliot Rosewater Apr 2019 #35

I would run from a lot of things, but I don't need to rip any candidate to like my choice. dogman Apr 2019 #62

Mmmmmmmm ..... What you said !!! trueblue2007 Apr 2019 #55

Sanders is not defining what he means by opening the borders-it is political speak delisen Apr 2019 #10

If you say so. Demsrule86 Apr 2019 #33

Eliot, if one selectively cuts out a good chunk of the quote it changes what he really said Autumn Apr 2019 #13

He should have said BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #17

He did. "I think what we need is simply comprehensive immigration reform" Autumn Apr 2019 #24

He didn't say "none" of the Democrats are for open borders BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #37

Why would he respond for other candidates when the question is to him at a Town Hall? Nanjeanne Apr 2019 #38

Simply because one has to advance the party's position BlueFlorida Apr 2019 #48

+1000 mcar Apr 2019 #57

Seriously? All the candidates need to do this when asked their position? That's what you think? Nanjeanne Apr 2019 #67

Write him a sternly worded letter. Who knows? He may decide change his answers Autumn Apr 2019 #40

Gotta chase the "economical anxious" white working class vote...nt SidDithers Apr 2019 #30

No one is advocating open borders, it's an odd statement. Agschmid Apr 2019 #36

It wasn't a statement. It was an answer to a question asked by a person at the town hall. Autumn Apr 2019 #68

Cool, thanks for clarifying! 👍 Agschmid Apr 2019 #73

You can't read what's left out of the tweet. Autumn Apr 2019 #74

Yeah but let's be honest I should know better and Google before I go off Agschmid Apr 2019 #79

I know I google every tweet. I have been stunned as to what has been posted and Autumn Apr 2019 #80

Historically it is the poor that come here. LakeArenal Apr 2019 #41

He's just trying to differentiate himself from the rest. MineralMan Apr 2019 #47

I don't think so. He is rather Trumpian in a way, but not racist. marylandblue Apr 2019 #59

I don't think he's a racist. I think he has a different definition of "open borders" MineralMan Apr 2019 #60

I guess he thinks we're "full" too. cwydro Apr 2019 #49

Do you? melman Apr 2019 #65

I'm definitely undecided now. Lunabell Apr 2019 #50

Is BS feeding the nonsense that Cha Apr 2019 #72

No melman Apr 2019 #76

Yes. Subtle, but yes. NurseJackie Apr 2019 #78

That's what many on twiitter are Cha Apr 2019 #82

I won't be gaslighted. I'm smarter than people give me credit for. NurseJackie Apr 2019 #83

Yeah, just look who's Cha Apr 2019 #84

I'm not a fan of Bernie but don't think that is at all what he was saying Trenzalore Apr 2019 #81
