Where is Bernie Sanders? Is he going to help with the filibuster?

[Walk away]

Wouldn't you think he would want to be a part of this historic event???

[shenmue]

1. Ha

[Starry Messenger]

2. Oh, you. LOL.

[BlueCaliDem]

3. Nah. He's too busy running his campaign to be the Democratic Party nominee.

He's still in it to win it - for Bernie.

Besides, he's a pro-NRA Senator from Vermont, so...

[leftofcool]

4. Obviously not. But this filibuster is being led by Democrats.

[sheshe2]

7. Yes. DEMOCRATS! lol~ nt

[SunSeeker]

5. His silence is deafening. nt

[sheshe2]

8. Yes!

Love ya~

[SunSeeker]

10. Right back atcha!

[Hoyt]

6. Wouldn't it be nice if victim families could sue gun store and gun manufacturer. Thanks Bernie.

[sheshe2]

9. Boom!

[SunSeeker]

13. The victims would have a great negligence/product liability case against Sig Sauer.

Over and above the inanity of selling assault weapons to civilians, Sig Sauer marketed theirs with a folding stock so you could tuck it into your jacket and sneak it into places, like Mateen snuck his past the front door of that club.

But thanks to the PLCAA that Bernie voted for and still defends, such lawsuits are blocked.

21. +1!

[Rose Siding]

11. Maybe he's taking the first watch outside McConnell's window

[Her Sister]

32. Boojah!

Perfect answer! Yes, that must be it!

[Thinkingabout]

12. This is a very important event and should have full attention given to it.

[RandySF]

14. Someone must have bought him tickets to something tonight.

[Koinos]

15. He's too busy preparing his campaign speech for tomorrow.

[Walk away]

16. Tim Kaine was just up and he told a really moving story....

It's so great that the Democrats are doing this for so many reasons. I guess I'm glad that Bernie didn't show up to use it as more free publicity.

[gwheezie]

17. Bernie would have just said dws rigged the primaries

And they would have carted him off when he started yelling "the super delegates are mine"

[Walk away]

19. "Oligarchs!!!!!! All of you!!!!"

[DemonGoddess]

18. It's not income inequality ya know

[Cha]

20. Tweet on this.

HimForHer ?@ThomboyD
Right now Dem Senators could use someone skilled at droning on for hours on a single topic. Alas, @SenSanders is nowhere to be found.

25. Serious miscalculation on Bernie's part.

The primary is over. The campaign is over. All he had to do was catch a flight to DC to join his "fellow Democrats."

All he had to do was his job. I guess that was just too hard.

[Cha]

28. And, President Obama and VP Biden are going to be in Orlando tomorrow,

for 4 hours, consoling the loved ones of the victims and thanking the First Responders.

How much attention will BS try to suck out of the air?

[BlueMTexpat]

29. He is truly tone-deaf to everything

but his own drumbeat. Nothing else seems to matter to him.

For instance, when he accosted the Pope in Rome, Bernie said not one word about the desperate plight of the Syrian refugees that the Pope was going to visit, but merely stated how he liked what the Pope was saying about inequality. There was not even an acknowledgement that the Pope could be thinking about anything else but Bernie.

His grandstanding visit did manage to take away some of the press focus from the Pope's mission because the Pope had to answer questions about whether his involuntary meeting with Bernie constituted an endorsement (it most certainly did not) when the Pope wanted to keep the emphasis on the plight of refugees. For shame!

[Cha]

30. Thank you for that reminder, BlueMT.. It's sad that someone is so

self absorbed that they can't even bring up the Pope helping the plight of the Syrian Refugees.

It can only be about his stump speech.

It did take away from The Pope's Mission.. but it didn't help sanders.. he lost big in New York and didn't win the Catholics over, either.

31. MIA ?

A team member?

[Koinos]

33. A one-member team.

[NastyRiffraff]

35. If he did join the filibuster

he'd just give his tired stump speech which contains nothing, of course, about guns. He might offend the NRA.
