“I Think Bernie Needs Space”: Warren Repeats 2016 Strategy In Refusing To Endorse Sanders

In a repeat of her refusal to endorse Bernie Sanders in 2016, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren again refused to do so before the critical Michigan primary after she pulled out. At the time, she said that she needed more time. Now, as liberal supporters have grown angrier at her failure to support Sanders (with many of the same priorities and policies), Warren is saying that she will not endorse because “Bernie needs space” to decide what to do. It now appears that Sanders is done after his losses this week. For Sanders, it is a familiar knife delivered by a familiar hand.

Many Warren staffers joined Sanders critics in objecting to the refusal to endorse Sanders and, when Warren refused to do so, they went ahead and gave their own endorsement. If the shared policies were driving Warren’s campaign, it would seem a no brainer to support him before Michigan. Yet, such an endorsement would not work to Warren’s personal advantage either as a potential running mate to (or cabinet member for) Biden. Indeed, as a future ally in the Senate, such an endorsement could have costs. There is no question that refusing to endorse Sanders was to Warren’s personal benefit but many followers felt betrayed.

Warren spent the critical time before the Michigan primary claiming that she needed more time. She said that she would not rushed.

Given the passage of time, Warren is now saying that she wants to give Sanders more time:”I think Bernie needs space to decide what he wants to do next, and he should be given the space to do that.”

On Thursday’s The View  added that she has moved on to other topics: “Right now I’m focused on what we’re going to do next in this crisis around the coronavirus.” For critics, the statement is another example of Warren being focused on Warren over the movement that she sought to lead.

I admit that, even though I disagree with his policies, I have long admired Sanders’ commitment to his principles including endorsing candidates against the wishes of the establishment. That authenticity is what seems to fuel the passion and commitment of his followers, as I saw at the huge rally before the Michigan primary. At that time, there were various supporters who told me that they were enraged by Warren’s failure to endorse.

The pattern is familiar. In 2016, the expectation was that Warren would endorse Sanders who has supported her in the past. The Democratic establishment however was known to have put considerable pressure on Warren not to oppose Hillary Clinton. To endorse Sanders in 2016 was risking the ire of Clinton, who was widely viewed as the chosen candidate of the Democratic National Committee and the next president. Warren went with the best option for her. She did not endorse anyone until Sanders effectively was eliminated and then endorsed Clinton. That seems to be the same strategy in 2020, but Warren just ran a campaign insisting that she did not care about her politics over principles.

  1. The UK government, run by conservatives mind you, is going to provide 80% of wage to those laid off by the coronavirus measures.

    But in the USA …

    1. Didn’t know… Thanks.

      When this is eventually over, we’ll see just how “exceptional” America really is — or isn’t. This crisis will demonstrate who and what we are… — or aren’t.

    2. Sounds like Anonymous the Stupid. UK parties despite their names can be different than one expects and different than what we see in the US. There seems to be no thought process in the above statement or for that matter in any of his statements.

        1. As I said this sounds like Anonymous the Stupid and you confirmed it. Thanks.

            1. Learn to read. You confirmed it was you, Anonymous the Stupid. You weren’t confirming the validity of your name though it is obviously true.

                1. Learn to read Anonymous the Stupid then you won’t have to make these stupid sentences that you repeat over and over again.

                    1. Brainless Wonder it appears you and Anonymous the Stupid are never lonely. You have each other, but the brain power when combined remains near nil.

  2. The Cost of COVID-19 Treatment in America:

    “These problems aren’t coming out of the blue. Even when we’re not weathering a global pandemic, Americans face uniquely high health care costs, compared to the rest of the world, and millions of us already put off medical care because of concerns about how much it’ll cost. But with COVID-19 sweeping across the country, an old problem becomes increasingly urgent: many Americans could still face massive treatment bills, or seek to prevent those by avoiding testing and treatment—worsening the outbreak further.”

    “Total Cost of Her COVID-19 Treatment: $34,927.43”

    https://time.com/5806312/coronavirus-treatment-cost/

    While most people infected with COVID-19 will not need to be hospitalized and can recover at home, according to the World Health Organization, those who do need to go to the ICU can likely expect big bills, regardless of what insurance they have. As the U.S. government works on another stimulus package, future relief is likely to help ease some economic problems caused by the coronavirus pandemic, but gaps remain.

    Here is everything you need to know about what getting treated for COVID-19 could cost you.

    How much does it cost to be hospitalized for COVID-19?

    Because of our fragmented health care system, it depends on what kind of insurance you have, what your plan’s benefits are, and how much of your deductible you’ve already paid down.

    A new analysis from the Kaiser Family Foundation estimates that the average cost of COVID-19 treatment for someone with employer insurance—and without complications—would be about $9,763. Someone whose treatment has complications may see bills about double that: $20,292. (The researchers came up with those numbers by examining average costs of hospital admissions for people with pneumonia.)

    How much of that do I have to pay?

    Most private health insurance plans are likely to cover most services needed to treat coronavirus complications, but that doesn’t include your deductible—the cost you pay out-of-pocket before your insurance kicks in. More than 80% of people with employer health insurance have deductibles, and last year, the average annual deductible for a single person in that category was $1,655. For individual plans, the costs are often higher. The average deductible for an individual bronze plan in 2019 was $5,861, according to Health Pocket.

    In both complicated and uncomplicated cases, patients with employer-based insurance can expect out-of-pocket costs of more than $1,300, the Kaiser researchers found. The costs were similar regardless of complications because many people who are hospitalized reach their deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.

    Many health insurance plans also require co-pays or co-insurance, too. Those costs are often 15-20% for an in-network doctor, meaning you would pay that portion of the cost, and can be much more for out-of-network doctors.

    Medicare and Medicaid will also likely cover the services needed for coronavirus treatment, but the details on deductibles (for Medicare) and potential co-pays will again depend on your plan, and which state you’re in for Medicaid.

    What if I’m uninsured?

    It’s not pretty. Some hospitals offer charity care programs and some states are making moves to help residents pay for COVID-19 costs beyond testing. Several states, including Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island and Washington, have created “special enrollment periods” to allow more people to sign up for insurance mid-year.

    Other states are requiring coverage of future vaccines or changing rules about prescription medication refills to help people stock up on essential medicines. So far, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, New York and Oregon have required insurers to waive costs for a COVID-19 vaccine once one is ready, and the states that have loosened rules to help people fill prescriptions include Alaska, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, North Carolina and Washington.

    The Commonwealth Fund, a healthcare think tank, has a coronavirus tracker that’s keeping a list of the moves each state has made so far.

    There’s no way I could afford to pay out-of-pocket for care. What can I do?

    The U.S. health care system doesn’t have a good answer for you, and it’s a problem. But there are a few things to keep in mind that could help minimize costs.

    If you think you may have the virus, the first step is to call your doctor or emergency department before showing up, the CDC says. This will let them prepare the office and give you instructions ahead of time, but it could also save you money. Getting treated in a hospital will generally start off more expensive than a visit to a doctor’s office. Another cost comes from the “facilities fee,” which many hospitals charge anytime a patient comes through their doors. For Danni Askini’s first trip to the hospital in Boston on Feb. 29, for example, she was charged $1,804 for her emergency room visit and another $3,841.07 for “hospital services.”

    Other costs to watch out for include lab tests, which can be “out-of-network” even if the doctor treating you is in your insurance network. It’s always best to ask for information in writing so that you can appeal the bills if necessary, says Caitlin Donovan of the National Patient Advocate Foundation. And appealing is worth it. Often, providers and insurers have reversed or lowered bills when patients go public or are covered by the media.

    These problems aren’t coming out of the blue. Even when we’re not weathering a global pandemic, Americans face uniquely high health care costs, compared to the rest of the world, and millions of us already put off medical care because of concerns about how much it’ll cost. But with COVID-19 sweeping across the country, an old problem becomes increasingly urgent: many Americans could still face massive treatment bills, or seek to prevent those by avoiding testing and treatment—worsening the outbreak further.

    “If you’re sick, you need fewer barriers,” Donovan says. “But also, it doesn’t help society to have people still crawling around going to their job and getting other people sick.”

      In this unprecedented moment in modern world history, amidst massive fear and anxiety, I will do all that I can to insist that the Democratic response to this crisis be as bold as this moment requires.

      Not surprisingly, the Republican plan for the coronavirus pandemic is totally inadequate.

      It benefits the rich and large corporations, creates desperation for poor and working families and goes nowhere near far enough to address the health and economic crises we’re facing.”

  5. OT: In 2017 Trump wrote an executive order to protect our nation and our supply chain which is exactly what we are facing and being threatened with today.

    Quoting from the executive order: ” The ability of the United States to maintain readiness, and to surge in response to an emergency, directly relates to the capacity, capabilities, and resiliency of our manufacturing and defense industrial base and supply chains.”

    Presidential Executive Order on Assessing and Strengthening the Manufacturing and Defense Industrial Base and Supply Chain Resiliency of the United States

    Now Anonymous the Stupid can make his usual one or two sentence Stupid and insulting remarks, Paint Chips can prove the above was not thinking ahead of the curve by quoting an unrelated story from the Washington Post and The Anons can lie and tell us he was there when Trump signed the EO.

    1. I should add that to make this pertinent to the blog topic that at present Warren is right in not endorsing either Democratic candidate. Neither Biden nor Bernie know how to deal with China. Today we have the CCP Virus . I’m not sure how Bernie would have acted but from Biden’s own words he would not have instituted a travel ban and would have caused the deaths of thousands more Americans.

      Warren shouldn’t endorse either. No one in their right mind should endorse either because neither one knows how to deal with a market economy or a free people that live in Constitutional Republic.

      Note: CCP Virus is the Chinese Communist Party Virus that due to the Communist type of thinking have spread this dangerous virus throughout the world. Trump has been ahead of the curve on most things and to date has acted to protect American citizens. I can’t say that for either Bernie or Biden.

        1. Thank you so much for the link. I want to hear Biden lovers defend that position.

          1. Except if you actually read the article it’s pure hack piece…

            It says Biden said something, and then gives no supporting quote to prove whether what is was saying was true. Not to mention, Covid 19 is running rampant through the country right now so there is counterbalancing real time information implying doubt about the effectiveness of shutting borders to prevent the spread of infectious disease — as was emphasized in the work of the Pandemic Response Team that Trump had dismantled.

            It would be nice for Breitbart to have just a shred of journalistic integrity. That’s not really it’s mission statement, however.

            1. Except Biden is on video criticizing Trump’s ban on Chinese travellers and he has been supporting illegal immigrant entry by his actions. Thus the article’s direction was correct.

              ” Covid 19 is running rampant through the country right now so there is counterbalancing real time information implying doubt about the effectiveness of shutting borders to prevent the spread of infectious disease ”

              The virus is here. What will happen is unknown but if the curve can be flattened then perhaps the hospitals won’t be over loaded.

              You sound a bit like another member of this blog.

        1. It certainly is the right direction we need to go. Not easy to undo decades of maladministration.

          1. How can we undo this? Listen to those that talk, talk, talk but don’t understand what they are talking about. They can’t debate policy or deal with critical thinking and principles?

            1. As long as we have concerted efforts being made to undermine these policy changes that enhance our national security, then it will be nearly impossible to undo. The mindset has to be we are in a wartime footing. To that end, we need:

              1. Trump to be reelected.
              2. The GOP needs to control both the House and Senate.
              3. Prosecutions need to happen from the Barr/Durham investigations.
              4. The case needs to be made to the American people.

              1. Trump still hasn’t “drained the swamp.” Better add that to your list.

                1. And checkout this list of regulations that have so far been suspended or eliminated. The idiocy that brought these in the first place is breathtaking:

                  These are regulations that, presumably, should not have been implemented in the first place, given their tendency to reduce innovation and access to care, not to mention their needless restriction on American liberty.

                  Below is a list of examples of these suspended rules and regulations. We will be continuously updating this collection. If you have another example to add, please send it to ideas@atr.org
                  https://www.atr.org/rules

                  1. I have to say though I might agree with some of the things Grover Norquest promotes I don’t trust him. The word is divided into democracy and some type of dictatorship. The latter is divided into to parts one socialist and the other that Norquest is too close to.

              2. I agree Olly but the left wants power and control. They don’t care about people and hate our free society. They and some from both parties are pushing us in the direction of an unfree society. I fear that what we have to do today will lessen our freedoms in the future. Right now the President has to deal with a Democratic Congress so I fear that the stimulus package will end up wasting a lot of money and putting us in a worse position than if the President were free to create the package. The left gains power by giveing things for votes that it doesn’t have and when in power making the people pay for it. The ultimate end of the far left is the end to private property and to the fascists the end is more or less a dictatorship where the elite and rich companies work hand in hand to rule over the people.

                1. That’s the cards we have to work with right now. Educating the American people has to happen.

            2. Allan,
              I’m going to split up my post that is sitting in moderation. It only had two links, so anyway.

              Allan,
              Here are a couple of really good articles about the changes that will come our way:

              COVID-19 will also change the way we regard China, which since the Clinton presidency has been treated less as a strategic rival than as a trading partner. Now we will see it as a tyranny responsible for a scourge laying waste to our economy, jobs, wealth, and well-being. We will be less tempted to subordinate recognition of its malignancy to wishful thinking and commercial desire.
              https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/after-coronavirus-things-wont-go-back-to-normal

              1. Yes, I agree. I look at a lot that will result from our present circumstances as vehicles for destructive innovation. The Internet is going to grow up much more quickly. I am hoping that the leftist turn we have had in this nation will suddenly be stopped and instead of having to equally divide up an ever smaller pie we can divide up a much bigger pie where even the smallest piece is bigger than those in the other pie.

                We would never be in this present position but for the left and those dishonest legislators that were more fascist than American.

  8. Today’s Most Widely Covered Story:

    4 Senators Dumped Stock Ahead Of Virus

    Senators Burr, Loeffler, Inhofe and Feinstein, 3 Republicans and a Democrat, are under scrutiny today amid revelations they cashed out their stock portfolios just before virus panic spooked the markets.

    The case of Senator Kelly Loeffler, Georgia, looks especially bad because her husband, Jeffrey Sprecher, just happens to be Chairman of the New York Stock Exchange!

    In all fairness to these Senators, they could argue, with some sincerity, that they recognized a possible market meltdown and acted in time.  Still, when so many Americans are worried about their 401-K’s, these revelations look sinister.

    The impression emerges that U.S. Senators knew, before the rest of us, how bad this crisis would get.  Which makes the Average Joe wonder, “Why the hell didnt you warn us??”  In that regard these revelations recall that anti-semitic lie that Jews employed at the World Trade Center called-in sick on 9/11.

    These stock dumping revelations make Donald Trump’s repeated denials of Virus danger look ever worse.  If at least 4 Senators saw disaster coming, why didn’t the President??

    1. It;s clear you spent a good deal of time typing that up. WTF does it have to do with the article???

      1. kydave, Turley is running this irrelevant ‘Poor Bernie’ piece to avoid addressing the stock sell-off story.

        And by the way, kydave, we’ve never heard from you before. Did you just pop out of the blue for this one comment?

        1. Turley is running this irrelevant ‘Poor Bernie’ piece to avoid addressing the stock sell-off story.

          It’s safe to say, if Jonathan Turley needed your input on what posts are relevant, he would no longer have a blog.

        2. Seth, thanks for the response.

          I wonder how many other stories JT did *not* write about today? Must be, like 3-4 at least, don’t ‘cha think? But just so I’m clear: You post an irrelevant comment to an article as a way to later point out the irrelevancy of the article to which you initially posted. Wow, I shudder at your grasp of logic. By your way of thinking, Mr. Turley definitely has a witch’s nose (albeit made from a carrot), and weighs more than a duck, therefore he should be burned.

          Who is this “we” you speak for: the entirety of the Internet, every commentor on this blog, or just you yourself? What bearing does your question have on the answer to mine? By the time I came to follow JT’s blog you had already made a name for yourself, judging by the reactions most of your posts have gotten during my tenure.

          Indeed, I often wonder why you are so heavily invested in poo flinging–especially since you seem to so vehemently disagree with nearly everything Mr. Turley writes. Are you, maybe, a spurned student: convinced of your own brilliance? Do you believe JT will read one of your comments and “see the light?” Are you upset because JT’s sexual orientation doesn’t include yours? Are you Mr. Turley’s rendition of Pierre Delecto? So many questions.

          1. Oh I get it, kydave, you’re Crazed Idiot! I had my suspicions. Commenters dont just pop out of the blue like that. There’s usually an e-trail of some kind before that start attacking other commenters.

            1. Oh I get it…

              Chips, there is no e-trail of any kind proving that to be true. What’s lost on you, is whatever persona you take on, your e-trail is littered with paint chips.

              1. Like Hanzel and Gretal to get home Paint chips leaves a trail in the forest. Unfortunately when the birds eat his chips they die from lead poisoning.

                  1. Allan’s a big kid hoping to be a smart adult when he grows up, but that just ain’t going to happen.

                    1. The Brainless Wonder pops in to protect her other half of the brain. When does Fido appear?

            2. So, not going to address anything in any of my posts. Got it. Seth is just another poo flinger. I had my suspicions. Thanks for bearing out my impression borne out from casual observations.

              Glad to know I can safely ignore you.

        3. kydave, Turley is running this irrelevant ‘Poor Bernie’ piece to avoid addressing the stock sell-off story.

          You want him to address it the way the DNC media complex, by stashing mention of Dianne Feinstein’s trading in the last paragraph.

          1. Absurd, I’m not leaving Feinstein out. And the issue is complex. It’s like the Martha Stewart case. Hard to separate the crime from investment management.

            Because it raises so many issues, I would have greatly enjoyed Turley’s input. Bernie, by contrast, isn’t happening today.

  9. “I Think Bernie Needs Space”

    – Pocahontas
    ___________

    Understanding that a national defense is extant and in process, the only thing anyone in America needs to “think” right now is who is going to litigate against the Chinese with reference to the malicious, derelict and negligent propagation of “Wuhan Flu” in the initial amount of $5 trillion as just compensation.

    1. In California, the communists (liberals, progressives, socialists, democrats, invaders, hyphenates) “litigated” $30 billion out of an electric utility for deaths and damage in multiple counties, because an Act of God, as unusual and extremely high winds, spread a small fire caused by one spark caused by a tree limb striking a transformer.

      We can surmise that China is liable for at least $5 trillion in damages to America et al. for failing to inspect and enforce against “wet markets” and practices which caused the generation and propagation of “Wuhan Flu.”

  11. IS TURLEY KIDDING HERE?

    To everyone following the Democratic primaries it was clear, weeks ago, that Bernie had peaked in 2016.

    Then on Super Tuesday Black voters wholeheartedly affirmed their rejection of Bernie (in case anyone thought South Carolina was a fluke). Black voters are aware that Republicans like Turley have been pushing Bernie to split the Democrats. And that’s all they need to know.

    So it’s ridiculous that Turley attempts with this column to sing one more verse of “Poor Bernie”. That song is all played out at this point. This week Bernie was walloped in Forida and Illinois; our third and fifth biggest states. Those losses have convinced every observer but Turley that Sanders is done.

    But Bernie, like Donald Trump, is a sociopathic narcissist. It’s all about him and no one else. So Bernie can’t quite bring himself to leave the stage. Call it ‘The Rock Star Syndrome’; an addiction to big crowds. The Coronavirus, in fact, is Bernie’s worst possible nightmare! It denies him the chance to mount one big last rally.

    1. Not a supporter Seth, but that’s a bad rap on Bernie’s character and not true. Anyone leading a political campaign owes it to his followers and to his own life long efforts – true in his case – to give it every last shot. As in 2016 Bernie will support the party candidate vigorously, and if roles were reversed, Biden would have done the same.

      You weaken the term “sociopathic narcissist” using it on Bernie. It doesn’t apply – AT ALL. It does uniquely apply to Trump who does not have a history of life long commitment to anything but his own ego. I have little doubt – and I’ve spoken to Bernie supporters – that Democrats will unite in November and be joined by independents and many Republicans tired of the scum in the WH. Some fringe Bernie Bros will sit it out, grousing the entire time about their delusions of grandeur, but Bernie won;t be leading them, or Warren, or Tulsi. Time to put the intraparty knives away and go after the cleaning the WH.

      1. Book, Bernie is ‘not’ a team player and never was.

        At this point in 2016 Bernie was already too far behind to realistically catch up. Had Bernie really cared about liberal values, he would have dropped out then and maneuvered to be Hillary’s running mate. She would would have been happy to take him. But Bernie stayed in that race, with no path to victory, simply because he couldn’t leave the stage.

        1. Seth, politicians in the modern age are not usually team players. Party organization is almost dead and instead we have individual players who carry the brand as an identifier. It is true that Bernie never even went that far, but he worked reasonably hard for Clinton in 2016 and I believe he will again. He cares about ideas and issues and he knows as well as any of us how toxic and destructive Trump is. There’s no future for any of us continuing to attack other Democrats or anyone who knows what a pig the President is.

  12. So Warren”s true heritage come out in the open as she’s identified as Schumer’s sister.

  13. Don’t kid yourself, while the Bernster is principled, he’s a also just as much of a politician as any of them. And lest we forget, after the banking crisis, Liz Warren went on the floor of the Senate and named names while Bernie never got past “millionaihs and billionaihs!”

    When Warren dropped out Bernie was falling way behind. Bernie bros were getting up on her campaign staffers in a harsh way and, indeed, they directed almost as much hate toward her as the Trump mutants did.

    And let’s not forget the exchange Warren and Sanders had on stage after that one debate…

    But really the one that’s gong to deep fry the bros nuggets is Gabbard getting out and endorsing Biden. In their minds, it was all Bernie/Tulsi this time around.

    1. after the banking crisis, Liz Warren went on the floor of the Senate and named names

      Warren did not take office until nearly four years later.

      1. I know, but to be fair to me, which I know isn’t your intention in the least bit, everything after the banking crisis is, wait for it, after the banking crisis. I didn’t qualify a set time limit.

        I’ll search on youtube for that speech where she lit up Citibank. I know you won’t watch it, but it’ll be fun for me to watch it again.

                1. mespo – per the Law of the Jungle, the deer and the antelope are required to play in the scenery. 😉

                    1. WW33 – Montana is sheep country as well as cattle country, I have been to several sheep shearings as a kid.

                    2. Interesting, city dweller here, my whole life, but contemplating, eventually going out to rural land for a less stressful life. California has tons of open space. My favorite part of CA is Central

                    3. So, tonight, a strange one, there is an owl hanging out in the tree over my car in the car part.

                      I’m in the middle of the city, I walk out, and I hear the noise, I’m thinking really? No way. I look up, the tree is cut back, and sure enough.

                      Usually, we only get squirrels, rats, sewer-dwelling raccoons, an occasional coyote that lost its way.

                      We have only a few mountain lions left in Los Angeles.

                    4. WW33 – we have a bird sanctuary in Gilbert and another one south of us. Mountain lions do periodically leave South Mountain Park and enter south Phoenix, usually when there are droughts and they need food.

    2. Indeed, Paulie. Turley fails to mention that Warren’s Twitter feed was inundated with snake emojis from overzealous Bernie Bros. So Warren has no obligation whatsoever to endorse Bernie now. In fact I would personally lose all respect for Warren if she humbled herself to Bernie.

      Warren learned what many of us knew all along, the Bernie Bros are obnoxious and prone to conspiracy theories. What’s more, the aggressive ignorance of Bernie Bros played a large role in turning off mainstream Democrats.

      1. Totally with you in thinking Warren has no obligation to Bernie in terms of endorsement, Seth.

        And the bros took it up a step from her twitter, actually tracking down her staffers personal contact info and making threats. Just like the the 45 Dumpsters.

    3. All that is true. It got personal with Warren and Bernie. Without that, she’d still be crazy to endorse him now. What planet does JT live on anyway?

      1. He’s clearly trying to whip it up. it’s so 2016 though, not working this time around.

  14. The DNC will re-enact this Night of the Long Knives every four years. They are the best political party billionaires have ever owned,

  15. Revenge

    That’s all this is.
    If she had the guts to admit that, I’d respect her more – which is to say,
    I’d despise her less.

      1. Yes, and why do you think she wants her party to succeed? Honestly, now.
        For the advancement of others or the advancement of Elizabeth Warren?

        It’s telling when amidst a mob formed from an ideology of self aggrandizing egomania – she’s a paragon.

  16. Elizabeth Warren:.
    Talk with you hands!
    Talk with your hands.
    Keep your mouth shut you are one we can’t stand!

  17. lets be honest the democrats actually hate Bernie and his followers. what does it take for Bernie to understand this problem? all these years in d.c. and he his has done nothing positive for this country but try to turn us into another Cuba.he should retire or voted out.

    1. Keep your enemies closer –
      I like having in him a spotlight where we can all keep an eye on him.

  18. Ah, poor Bernie.

    What is this, a vote for class Most Likable? Guess what? She’s a politician and has to win office to be effective. What parlor game does JT think is going on here?

    I’m a liberal and I’m happy he lost and all the Democratic candidates – including Tulsi – are endorsing Biden except the mum Warren. Why? And why did Bernie support Hillary? Because the alternative is the Trump who they all know – including Bernie and Tulsi, the darlings Trump and the Republicans – has been and will continue to be a disaster for the country.

    Grow up and cut the s…

    1. Put a Senile In Office! Give him the Nuclear Codes! It’s the Ultimate Elevation of Marginalized Groups; Let the Insane Govern!

      “She’s a politician and has to win office to be effective.” It’s just politics after all.

      God what fools these Dims be.

  19. “She did not endorse anyone until Sanders effectively was eliminated and then endorsed Clinton.”
    *****************
    Ne’er a more smarmy, transparent fraud that Lie-awatha. Voters know that.

  20. I always thought Bernie supporting Hillary in 2016 was like Julius Caesar supporting Brutus after the assassination.
