Bernie Sanders on TV, morphing Orlando shooting into his stump speech

[Maru Kitteh]

YET AGAIN. Unbelievable.

The 1%! Special interests! Oligarchy! Big financial interests! Young people are upset!

OH FFS.

I'm really, really trying to be charitable to him but DAMN he makes it HARD.

Notably absent? A single word about the epidemic level of gun violence.

[BootinUp]

1. Of course he holds this press conf. before he gets his @ss whooped. nt

[displacedtexan]

2. I deleted my OP because I didn't see yours.

Is he running for DWS's job? He wants everything to change that didn't help him win.

[Maru Kitteh]

3. He seems to think he should be allowed to dictate her job and every other woman

in power in the party.

Wonder why that is?

[displacedtexan]

4. Good point. And we've seen how he treats his wife.

Those pesky women just don't get it, do they?

[Maru Kitteh]

6. Maybe he can get all of us together and teach a class

I'll bring my notebook. I can't wait for another round of man'splain'in! I never get enough!

[shenmue]

5. Duh

[Maru Kitteh]

7. I know I know

[Maru Kitteh]

10. So basically, on the back of Orlando, Sanders stood today to demand open primaries

campaign finance reform and other familiar themes that are from his standard stump speech.

I just don't understand.

[BobbyDrake]

8. Shameless grifter. nt

15. I just saw this on the Obama Diary..

https://theobamadiary.com/2016/06/14/the-united-state-of-women-summit/

BS and his wife jane have shown nothing but "disrespect" and they claim they're disrespected? Talk about projecting.

[BobbyDrake]

18. It's been projection since Day One. So. Much. Projection.

As an open obstructionist, who exactly is "just like the Republicans," at this point?

[Maru Kitteh]

19. Waaaaaaaaaaaaa. They lost but want to tell the woman who WON what to do?

Too bad.

[Tarheel_Dem]

9. An NPR journalist just summed it up beautifully. She was reporting on Pres. Obama & Hillary's....

simultaneous withering attacks on the Orange Blob, and she mentioned in passing that BS has been squeezed out of the debate now that national security has taken center stage. She basically said that BS is not someone people turn to on issues of national security, so he has been completely sidelined.

[Maru Kitteh]

12. Worse than that. He used the grief of Orlando and the country

to say we should have open primaries in the Democratic party????

What, the.

[Tarheel_Dem]

13. Then it will no longer be the "Democratic" Party. Anyone who has objections to joining the party...

shouldn't be offended that they aren't allowed to pick our nominees. Why is that concept so difficult for BS? There are other parties to the left of us, they should put their energies there. I know why they don't want to do it, because it means WORK. They want to co-opt a major party that has already done the hard work of building an infrastructure. They should get over themselves, and I hope Hillary, the POTUS, and the DNC let him know, in no uncertain terms, that he won't be calling the shots. He lost!

[Maru Kitteh]

20. Indeed. nt

[dmr]

23. That's how I feel about it, too.

I don't want open primaries. Why should non-Democrats come into the Democratic Party & push their agenda on us? If they are so concerned about us then join up, otherwise hit the road.

Remember Rush Limbaugh in 2008 telling Republicans in open primary states to vote in the Democratic primary to screw with the results? I forget the details, but Limbaugh was pushing it.

I'm hoping Hillary & the DNC play hard ball with Bernie. DWS said today she's not resigning. I've run out of patience and respect for the man.

Two things I will never forgive:

1. Calling Hillary unqualified.
2. Stating "When I'm president. ..." last week during a rally after meeting with President Obama.

Argh ....

[Tarheel_Dem]

24. It was called "Operation Chaos". And we shouldn't be subjected to the machinations of non-Democrats.

For better of for worse, I'm a lifelong member of the Democratic party, and I don't go switching my party registration everytime I get pissed off. So, for those who have a moral objection to my party......I don't want you meddling in our platform, who we choose as a nominee, and you don't get a say in who heads up the DNC.

[Cha]

16. Thank you for that, Tarheel. BS is one note I just read cnn cut away from his SS to cover Obama's.

BS and his wife jane have shown nothing but "disrespect" and they claim they're disrespected? Talk about projecting.

[Tarheel_Dem]

17. ^^^ THIS RIGHT HERE ^^^

[Walk away]

11. Thankfully he isn't a Democrat! How embarrassing!

[misterhighwasted]

14. Briggs & Devine wrote his repetitive stump speech from Hillary's campaign platform,

Jane read it over & over to him until he had it memorized, propped him up behind a podium & ran his campaign via social media.

HE IS STILL REPEATING THE SHORT STUMP SPEECH KEYWORDS THAT JANE, DEVINE & WEAVER BURNED INTO HIS BRAIN ON THEIR LONG CAMPAIGN TRIPS.
He only had to memorize from a short list, and today he sounds just like he did in the beginning.

Unbelievable.
Bet he repeats it in his sleep..over & over.
And he wants to lead the nation into the future?!
God help us all.

[Maru Kitteh]

21. I began to wonder by the end

if perhaps he might be unable to remember new things. I am still left wondering that very thing.

[eastwestdem]

22. I'm pretty sure he only knows one speech. nt
