pretty sure that wheezing is coming from the reporter holding the mic, Bernie looks and sounds like he normally does here

To be fair, he looks like an old man who just had to climb stairs or something. Thing is...he's still more coherent than Biden is at 100%.

 

[Pressure]

If Biden does get the nom and lose to trump I can't wait for everyone to blame Bernie Bros for the lack of voter turnout either

If Biden gets the nom that means that Bernie is 0-2 against Hillary and Biden.

Y'all don't care about that.if you did y'all wouldn't hate Warren.

In general its too much fanboyism in here. "yall" "bernie bros" "biden boyz" whatever, ya'll seem more invested in talking about supporters than the issues. I like Bernie and Warren, I voted Bernie because he's the front runner. If Liz was the front runner I'd vote for her without an issue.

 

[Serious]

After watching both Sanders and Biden's rally.

Sanders has the energy. The excitement. Sanders doesn't excite me tho when he wrllspeaks.

Biden has the same ol same. gave a good little speech I guess. Sounded better tonite than usual.


Both these motherfukker are old af.

Well trump is old as well

I voted for Warren because I like her policy.

I have no desire to form a coalition with Bernie bros.

If Warren was in the lead and Bernie hadn't won a single state, I would be hoping he would drop out.

Just admit y'all didn't want an open primary.

And here you go with the identity politics. What does Obama being black have to do with any of the advice his strategist may give to Sanders?!? Like what relevance does that shyt even pose?

My comment had nothing to do with identity politics goofy, I brought up his race to emphasize the monumental accomplishment on Plouffe's resume and why you might want to pay attention to what he's saying.

Every debate it's gang up on Bernie time.

This comment makes it obvious to me that you 1.) haven't been paying attention (did you forget about the Bloomberg debate & the Warren debates in the Fall), 2.) you weren't prepared for the scrutiny that comes with being the front-runner. Every front-runner has gone through the ringer on that debate stage, right now it just happens to be Bernie's turn.

Have Pete or Warren made a single post primary speech where they DIDNT attack Sanders? Bidens done the same. I think Amy may have been the only one who didnt but no one paid much attention to her outside of the MSM who praised her 4th place finishes

Every candidate you just listed was running at best a distant second to Bernie prior to this weekend. Unlike Bernie, they were in a position of weakness and desperation. If you're the front-runner and in a position of power, you gain little to nothing punching down to these opponents. Sometimes you have to show some poise, and that you are secure in your standing (take Obama for example, the man rarely engaged w/ the mudslinging from the right). I respect Bernie's grit, but I think Plouffe's advice would serve him good. If you're going to punch back, do it with a little more nuance and respect for the voters of other candidates b/c at the end of the day he's going to need them.

 

[Red Shield]

Gonna get a lot of mileage out of this one.

I don't think Biden would get blown out... probably gonna be a close election. maybe

They literally call every single democrat a socialist. Trump has been referring to EVERY candidate as a socialist. He literally did it in the rally at CPAC. That is inevitable.

You can’t hit Bernie with shyt like this



Y’all are underplaying how fukking terrible of an idea this is

The stuttering and forgetting ad's can probably be overlooked in the general. But an ad like this....naw

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Well trump is old as well

Still not as old as Bernie Biden. They'll be in their 80s before their first term is up. And they will only be 1 term presidents.

Last 3 dem presidents were all under 55 when elected.

Thanks for making my point

They have never and will never understand the subtle nuances of politics or just being a decent human in general. That point is often lost on them.

 

[The ADD]

Or he just agrees with him on some things and disagree with him on others.
Not everyone has to have this "all in all the time" approach to supporting politicians.
In fact, no one should.
Leave that for the lunatics like Nap.

Sycophancy and Democracy are not compatible.

You had to see the change in tone. After Nevada he came across as saying that this maybe the new direction and the party should prepare. Now that the general establishment is pulling together he’s in line with them.

He was playing it safe earlier and now he’s more comfortable being vocal.
