Well friends, I'm taking one for the team. Watching Mr. Sanders' live "to-doo" so you

[Maru Kitteh]

don't have to.

I'll update throughout as best I can.

[shenmue]

1. Do you have enough vodka?

[Cha]

8. ...

[SaschaHM]

15. Maybe Bernie has some spare vodka to share...

I wonder what his favorite brand is. I'm sure he discovered some of the premium stuff on his honeymoon.

[Maru Kitteh]

65. No, I did not in fact have enough vodka. I'm going to fix that now.

[shenmue]

131. Okay

[apcalc]

2. What time does the shindig start?

Going to bed 9 Eastern....gotta get up early.

[Maru Kitteh]

3. The revolution never ends

Takes credit for every social justice movement in recent history

A year ago we had no money, blah blah blah campaign speech

We got 12 million votes

[Maru Kitteh]

4. We are not "fringe"

All the young people love me

[BlueMTexpat]

139. This reminds me of someone

else who keeps telling us how much _________ (fill in the blank) love him. Hmmm ....

[Control-Z]

5. Link? n/t

[Maru Kitteh]

6. We had really big rallies and lots of people harrassed people trying to eat dinner

on the phone on my behalf.

[femmocrat]

76. 75 million times!

You're funny!

[LisaM]

97. Oh, hello, that's FUNNY.

I can actually hear that in his voice.

[SaschaHM]

7. Your movement isn't the future if you consistently lose the non-white vote.

Not unless you have some magical spring that is going to pop out more white people as the country becomes more diverse.

[Maru Kitteh]

9. We took money from poor students and seniors and disabled people

This is a point of pride to him.

[WhiteTara]

61. ...

When I was young, I lived in Tulsa OK, home of Oral Roberts. Every Sunday he would come on the radio and tell people to send him money, put their hand on the radio and he would heal them. My neighbor's mother worked at ORU and she said they opened SACKS of letters every day with poor people's money in hopes of a miracle.

[Maru Kitteh]

69. It's sickening isn't it? Sanders bragged on and on about how poverty-stricken individuals

sent him money. And he took a family vacation to Rome on that money, flew first class and enjoyed ***** cuisine. He should be ashamed.

[Walk away]

121. Been there! "Put your hands on the radio and feel the vibrations....."

My favorite show!

[WhiteTara]

123. Another of our neighbors was a elderly woman

who was very ill and she faithfully sent in her money and put her hand on the radio. She of course, died.

[Walk away]

127. Well, it worked for me....I'm still here!

Although I never sent them the $$$

[WhiteTara]

129. Good job

on both counts!

[displacedtexan]

10. It's the stump speech that never ends!!!!!

Nothing new.

Now, he's claiming that he won contested states...actually, just the votes of those under age 45, to which I say, "So what?" He didn't win the most states or even the most votes.

Now, he's talking about poor people donating to him, as if that's something to be proud of. Had he not squandered their money, I might not be so angry that he suckered them into donating to him.

[Stuckinthebush]

19. With a gravely voice

God. Clear your throat! Ugh

[NastyRiffraff]

54. Those poor people paid for

that Roman Holiday for him and his friends and family.

[dlwickham]

105. reminded me of this

[Cha]

11. Strong stomach.. I can't even read that dretch..

[yallerdawg]

12. Sounds like he's reading the final chapter?

[skylucy]

13. Watching it too. Hmmmmmm. God, he is full of himself.

[lapucelle]

14. MSNBC is carrying it live now.

It's one last cringe-worthy sermon on how great he and his "movement" are.
I wish he'd move the hell on.

Can we start a group called MovetheHellOn.org?

[skylucy]

23. LOL

[displacedtexan]

26. Excellent idea!

movethehellon.org has a nice ring to it.

So does getthehellouttahere.org.

[spooky3]

106. Or closingtime.org

As a DUer suggested, "you don't have to go home, but you Can't. Stay. Here..."

What I wouldn't give for a group in the audience to break out in a chorus from that song and keep singing to drive him from the stage.

[teamster633]

44. I'll join...as long as I can stay here, too.

[Maru Kitteh]

72. Count me in as well.

[Tarheel_Dem]

94. Now that was funny! "MovetheHellOn.org".

[brer cat]

111. I'm in! nt

[Maru Kitteh]

16. Very few elected officials supported me. I thank them.

More stump speech, 1%.

People die too soon.
Everybody is dying. They're all dying.

[Walk away]

22. The entire country is a disgrace!!!! Oh wait! Trump bad!

Last edited Thu Jun 16, 2016, 09:38 PM - Edit history (1)

Can't wait to see if he even mentions the first Woman POTUS!!! Probably not.

[ecstatic]

17. He's used the phrase "political revolution" a dozen times, at least

[Walk away]

27. After a while it's going to revolve back around again.

[caquillo]

48. Round and round the roundabout and back where you began!

[Tarheel_Dem]

96. Has he said "yuge" yet? n/t

[Maru Kitteh]

99. There was one "yuge"

[ecstatic]

120. His fans love that, but for me it's like

nails on a chalkboard. Uggh!

[Maru Kitteh]

130. His fans never have gone deeper than stump speeches, buzz-words and slogans.

This is why he was completely taken off guard when he was actually expected to verbalize a flesh-and-blood plan for dismantling the big banks - and had nothing.

[skylucy]

18. He acts like the Democrats and Hillary haven't spoken about any of these things before!!!

[Rose Siding]

77. Did you catch where he said he'll be working with Hillary to "transform" the party?

Wonder how she feels about that?

Guess there's another glass ceiling. The one where the male opponent admits the woman who broke it actually won.

[Maru Kitteh]

85. I wrote this today on his "man-splaining" to the nominee and party

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1107167550

Don't know if you saw it.

[Rose Siding]

91. I did and rec'd it. It gets more blatant the longer he drags it out without recognition.

[splat]

100. Brilliant

You're saying it's not real until he says it is. I hadn't thought of that. Bumma.

[Rose Siding]

108. No, it's real

But her historic win makes his loss historic in a different way. Hate to think he's having trouble with that.

I should have said it's a plywood ceiling or something The dude's gotta break through it!

[Maru Kitteh]

137. More like he's denying the reality, as if that can keep it from being real

If he denies the woman permission, he can keep her from actually being the his victor.

aka . . . dude got a problem.

[Maru Kitteh]

20. People can't drink water because it's polluted. Yeah. Hillary was there Mr. Sanders.

Yeah. Hillary was there Mr. Sanders.

[greatauntoftriplets]

104. So drink vodka! And gin!!!

[Maru Kitteh]

113. I'm on it.

[MattP]

21. It's so uplifting i could cry

[displacedtexan]

45. This speech should come with a packet of razor blades, it's so doom & gloom.

Jeez! He acts like the Democratic Party is to blame for our country being shitty. This is absolutely the line I never thought he would cross. But he did.

[Maru Kitteh]

90. x 1000

[Maru Kitteh]

24. WHAT ABOUT THE GUN VIOLENCE Mr. SANDERS?

[shadowandblossom]

25. Let us know Maru.

I can't watch Captain Unicorn anymore.

[Maru Kitteh]

28. We must defeat Donald Trump. I'm going to get on that sometime when I get around to it

[stopbush]

29. Well, he just went all in: "my way or the highway" on Hillary and the DNC.

He. Is. Fucking. Delusional.

[Walk away]

30. He done! That's the end for Bernie!!! Bye Bernie!!!!

[Maru Kitteh]

31. I'll be going to the convention with blah blah delegates

[tarheelsunc]

144. I thought "the delegates haven't voted yet.

What a hypocrite...

[Maru Kitteh]

32. I had a talk with Sec. Clinton and I am going to make sure she does what I say

[shadowandblossom]

36. So pathetic.

.

[Maru Kitteh]

81. That was literally his tone. "I gave her a talking to and she had better listen."

To hell with that noise.

He loves screaming at the wind. I say let him.

[Maru Kitteh]

146. And you and I have heard the echoes today.

[eastwestdem]

145. Ha!!! nt

[TeamPooka]

33. Having dinner with Bernie the first time must be fun. The second time you get to hear the same

stories and stuff again.
The third time you have your wife reschedule and tell him you had to work late.

[skylucy]

34. MSNBC just cut him off to talk about what he said so now we can't hear what he is saying.

[stopbush]

39. No problem. Just rerun any of his stump speeches.

It's the same blather as always.

[Maru Kitteh]

35. Finally, a tiny blurb about common-sense gun control.

[Maru Kitteh]

37. Litany of demands for DNC, what the DEMOCRATS must do.

Kind of like he's not a Democrat or something.

It's a really really really Llllllooooongggg list of demands

You've heard them all.

[sheshe2]

68. He is here to remake the Democratic party!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bow to me.......................

[stopbush]

38. Ha! MSNBC heard enough and cut away from his blather

before he was done.

He was still jabbering when they went to commercial.

I'm sure GD-P will be aflame over that.

[Stuckinthebush]

40. He's becoming a joke

Even msnbc cut away because he is just blabbering about the same crap. Jeez. His 15 minutes are up

[BobbyDrake]

41. Get some weed for the nausea, that's my advice.

[Cha]

43. LOL!

Maui Wowie!

[Maru Kitteh]

93. All I have is Rolaids and booze.

And I am about to get seriously liberal with both.

[Agnosticsherbet]

42. Is it over yet?

Is it over yet?
Is it over yet?

[yallerdawg]

46. No. It's not over.

[Agnosticsherbet]

50. He does go on and on and on

and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on ...

[Her Sister]

52. OMG! Still going on!

[Maru Kitteh]

53. Nope, it just keeps going on and on and on and on and on and on and

[Maru Kitteh]

47. All of the sudden, Sanders cares about conservative states. Wants expansion into those.

Great. How about showing up to vote.

[TeamPooka]

49. nothing i heard there was a suspension, concession or endorsement so I guess he gets to keep

fundraising.
He is calling for kids to join the Democratic Party now and get involved at the local and state level.
Of course it's 4 minutes after MSNBC cut him off.
If he had been saying this from the beginning of the campaign he could have won this thing instead of thinking he could sneak it away with independents at the caucus level.

[Maru Kitteh]

51. Wants the revolutionaries to run for local offices in red states

OK, they didn't even vote and you want them to run for office.

Good luck with that Sanders.

[procon]

55. So, blah, blah, blah, nothing's changed, ramble, look at me, and send cash. nt

[Maru Kitteh]

56. We need hundreds of thousands of doctors and nurses and psychologists . . . .

[font size = 6]YES YOU DO.[/font]

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

57. I'm watching this B.S. too.

[sheshe2]

71. I had to turn it off. Could not! Watch anymore.

[gademocrat7]

58. Please tell me it's over.

[yallerdawg]

63. I wish I could.

But we let him in the house, he has taken over the sleeper sofa, and now he will never leave.

There are no words.

[Maru Kitteh]

59. we need teachers

we need construction workers
we need this we need that
we need
we need
we need

[Maru Kitteh]

62. In conlusion OLIGARCHY!

The future will be a utopia, and history will show that it was all thanks to me.

Thank you, and GOOD NIGHT.

Where the hell is my drink?

73. Here ya go

[Maru Kitteh]

98. Oh THANK GOD!

You're a lifesaver Rose!

[teamster633]

60. "Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;"

[okasha]

122. That's his problem, right there.

He thinks he's King Hal, and he's actually Willy Loman. "Attention must be paid! Attention must be paid!"

[teamster633]

125. In that case, I'll lend him the keys to my car.

[liberal N proud]

64. He is full of himself

[BobbyDrake]

66. I expect the DNC to honor what Rendell said, "No concession? No speech."

He does not get to use our convention to shit all over us this way.

[sheshe2]

74. Ouch! Boom! Rendell Rocks!

[Maru Kitteh]

101. HRC took over the DNC and convention today. Thank goodness.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/16/politics/hillary-clinton-campaign-dnc/index.html

[NastyRiffraff]

67. I am in AWE of you guys watching this!

I couldn't stomach it. Thank you. Although it sounds like he's saying nothing new so far. I hope you have plenty of beer, wine, vodka, and Tums.

[sheshe2]

75. And valium~

[Cha]

78. Weed..

[NastyRiffraff]

80. Oh yeah!

How could I forget?

[Cha]

83. Ye-ah!

[LuvLoogie]

70. You go down there, Bernie. Have at it.

[Maru Kitteh]

103. Perfect.

[Squinch]

79. This is the most tedious revolution EVER!

[Cha]

84. LOL

Squinch!

[Squinch]

89. .

[Cha]

95. ..

Too funny.. I'm still laughing..lol

[Bleacher Creature]

82. Did he ask for more money????

At some point, he's not going to be able to pay staff, travel, etc.

[NurseJackie]

86. Dreadfully tiresome.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

87. So I just wasted 10 minutes of my life that I'll never get back. What the fuck was that?

[Her Sister]

92. That was just 10 minutes? Are you sure? I watched/listened and it felt like 30 long minutes

[DemonGoddess]

124. It felt like TEN YEARS

same old same old, mr poorsport sour grapes sore loser.

[Rose Siding]

88. No one will let him orate like this at the convention, but the threat was clear

He specifically mentioned the number of delegates he's taking to Philly

[William769]

102. Thanks for doing this.

[George II]

107. Play tonight's "speech" next to any of his stump speeches over the last six months....

...you won't see much difference.

[mcar]

109. I just do not get the strategy

[shadowandblossom]

136. the defense and preservation of his massive ego

It seems like he is emotionally unable to handle to handle losing and not being everyone's saint and hero. He seems unable to accept not everyone is interested in giving him that sort of adulation and worship--and like the rigged theme that goes against reality, it protects him from the fact of his enormous loss by voters who don't want him. Or that's one idea anyway.

I'm pretty fed up with him.

[Maru Kitteh]

110. LOLZ - MSNBC interviewing BS supporters, asks if they talked about running for office

like he asked them to?

Bernie people: Not really. Also, he didn't say he wasn't going to stop trying to get the nomination so we're going to hang on and hope he gets it.

[spooky3]

112. Thank you. Just got home and very glad I missed it.

Last edited Thu Jun 16, 2016, 09:28 PM - Edit history (2)

And I was very wrong in predicting he would concede after DC voted.

I think the Dem leadership needs to tell him "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and call his bluff. Maybe they have already done it behind the scenes.

[Maru Kitteh]

115. The most galling to me was the conclusion where he claims his "revolution"

has paved the way for Utopia and history will look back and say it was all thanks to him.

Just PUKE.

Go home sir.

[spooky3]

117. My reply would be

"93%."

The percentage of bills on which his vote was the same as HRC's.

Not my definition of the leadership of a "revolution."

[Cha]

133. Yeah, because BS says so.. Rofl!

BS said they were going to win Nevada.. Ooooops!

[brer cat]

114. You are a brave woman, Maru!

And an excellent translator of s#$% talk. Thanks for the thread and the laughs.

[Maru Kitteh]

116. Why thank you. I hope never to do it again, lol.

Now back to my vodka.

[teamster633]

119. You'd better make it a double after enduring that.

Thanks for the coverage.

[nini]

118. so basically he got free airtime in case he was going to finally step aside

He's like a broken record.. enough already.

[Walk away]

126. I would like to thank Maru Kitteh for hosting the funniest thread on DU in a long time!

The Bernie folk have no sense of humor so it took an event like this to get everyone here out and acting up! Plus we had an easy target! Thanks guys you made my night!

[Surya Gayatri]

132. Let's hear it for Maru Kitteh and her fortitude! Just finished reading this thread. Great stuff!

The Burned Out One is down to his last 200,000 supporters. Can't keep a campaign running very long on their donations.

He's well on his way to total irrelevance.

[shadowandblossom]

138. Here, Here! Thanks Maru :)

The Burned Out One, hahahaha....

[Maru Kitteh]

135. Oh my gosh you guys. Thank you, sincerely.

It was awful, but you have to laugh right?

I LOVE this group, and you all genuinely lift my spirits every single day.

[BlueMTexpat]

140. I have to thank her too!

I was asleep - thankfully - and reading this thread is the closest I can come to the speech because I will not voluntarily search for it.

We may all need to chip to buy a new supply of booze, etc.(!) for Maru Kitteh for sacrificing herself in such a way.

[grossproffit]

128. He's quickly on his way to being shunned.

[stopbush]

134. I can't imagine that anyone finds such tedium to be inspirational.

Hey, if you think Bernie talking is inspirational, try watching paint drying.
