Related: About this forumWatch Bernie Sanders Flip-Flop-Flip-Flop On Who Should Be Nominee
This interview took place the day before before Super Tuesday when Bernie was leading in delegates, and George was asking Bernie about his past 2016 comments that Super Delegates should be able to choose him even if Hillary Clinton was leading in pledged delegates. Bernie first tried to deny that, then George showed him a clip of saying just that.
Of course, Bernie was originally against superdelegates, but then was totally in support of them picking him and disregarding the leader in pledged delegates.
So, watch Bernie backtrack from his backtrack in this March 1, 2020, pre-Super Tuesday interview where he strenuously argues that the candidate with a plurality of delegates should be the nominee, and to suggest otherwise would be incredibly divisive.

Of course, after today, watch Bernie pull the triple dipple flip flop with a twist, when he will reverse himself and perhaps say something mysterious like, you never know what might happen (wink to Trump and Bob Barr) to explain why he is still going to continue running for Democratic Nomination.
The darn Fake News! They keep repeating Bernie's own words against him!

(17,749 posts)...when George shows him what he said on March 1, 2020, and Bernie comes up with some hidden caveat that not surprisingly favors him regarding why he should still be picked as the nominee notwithstanding how the people voted.

(1,026 posts)There is a major health crisis and he is a sitting senator with power! All other Senators are there trying to hash out a plan to help workers who won't be saying a paycheck. Bernie has no path but is still not there helping.

(67,782 posts)....and since then he's only won six states - including tiny Vermont and North Dakota and Northern Marianas.
At that time was was 1 win, 2 losses, 1 tie. Now he's at 7 wins, TWENTY TWO losses, and 1 tie.
And he's not leading in any of the remaining 28 primaries.

(17,749 posts)Yeah, probably tomorrow, you will hear Bernie's campaign complain about media bias and establishment citing his own words.

In a wide-ranging news conference alongside the British leader, Trump also took a shot at European countries -- saying their immigration laws were "changing the culture" of their countries.
"I didn't criticize the prime minister. I have a lot of respect for the prime minister," President Trump said, going on to criticize the story, which he said did not include his comments of praise for May and suggesting the White House may release a full recording of the interview.
The president added that he apologized to May privately about the negative headlines and that May brushed off the dust-up.
