Anybody see Sanders on the View? Very trumpian and testy evading questions.

[Walleye]

About why he’s staying in a race he has already lost. Even put up his hand to try to silence Whoopi like you-know-who does.

[MontanaMama]

1. He's on MSNBC now.

He’s bucking to have Wisconsin to delay their primary.

[True Blue American]

2. Yep.

[George II]

5. He can delay the primary, #DropOutBernie

[Me.]

6. And Looks Downright Awful

[George II]

8. His hair was uncombed, his jacket was covered in lint, just a mess. Taking a page out of....

....Gray's and Sirota's playbook, is he well? He looked ill.

[Cha]

23. Sounds like he didn't do his

"path to victory" any good.

Where was he speaking from?

[George II]

25. He was home, of course.

[Cha]

26. Right.. I saw that after

I asked.. VT, of course!

27. Still with the "strong grassroots movement"? He was bragging about that before the Iowa Caucus....

...."strong grassroots movement", claiming he had the entire state covered with 25,000 in-state volunteers for months leading up to the caucus.

As it turned out, he got 45,000 votes. That means he got a mere 1.8 votes per "grassroots movement" volunteer.

[Cha]

28. And, his ".. lot of people supporting me.." didn't

come out to vote for him.. so where were they? That's why he lost.. he didn't have as many 'lot of people" as Joe Biden does.

That's how it works.

Thank you, Whoopie!

[Scurrilous]

40. Still with the 'narrow path' too.

Bernie Sanders Acknowledges 'Narrow Path' to Nomination (April 2016)

[onetexan]

42. any notion of a "path" to victory is delusional. BS just needs to go away. He is just pathetic.

[olegramps]

14. Perhaps it will sink in to his supporters that he is nothing more than Trump lite.

He is a mouthy opportunist that has a dismal legislative record for his ridiculous proposals that have absolutely no chance of passage. His stance on tariffs and trade agreements are exactly like those enacted by Trump with devastating results for our economy. I have never supported that two bit commie lover who has saved his praise for the blood thirsty regimes of some of the worst people to have ever been born. I have to cringe when he praised Castro for his literacy program while ignoring that our nation has a literacy near totality when we have a diverse population of thousands of emigrants. Our schools devote enormous effort with amazing success in making millions literate.

I just have to add F that pseudo-Democrat phony. I will save my support and dollars for real Democrats who are loyal party members 24/7 rather than demagogues.

19. What you said.

[The Magistrate]

30. Well Said, Sir

"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

[we can do it]

38. This deserves a thread of its own.

[IluvPitties]

39. Sadly, you are correct.

[kstewart33]

31. What would delaying do?

The virus situation is going to get much worse for a good while before it gets better.
This is beyond ridiculous.

[The Magistrate]

34. It Would Postpone, Sir, A Round Of 'Bernie Loses Again' Headlines

That is about all he is angling for. He doesn't want himself, or the public, to be reminded how badly he is being beaten, how thoroughly he is being rejected by the Democratic primary electorate.

That is hard on a man who just knows he is the man of people want, whether they know it or not....

[Nikki28]

3. yes

I did not understand any point he was trying to make. I was glad Whoopi brought up how he did Hillary and some of his fans but he did not want to answer that. I am all for the democracy, but his half answer made no sense. He needs to stay where he is and stop using the D whenever he wants to run.I think his pride is what is keeping him in the race,when it is only making many think of what he did to Hillary when he did not surrender and concede.

[Walleye]

10. Hubris, seventh deadly sin.

[George II]

4. I found it interesting that when Biden's first remote appearance when awry, Sanders supporters....

....bashed him all over, "he'd better get his act together", blah blah blah.

Turns out even after Sanders has held dozens of remote appearances, ABC had to cut away because it was so screwed up.

Then, when it came back about 15 minutes later, he started in on the relief package, "we gave the people this", "we expanded unemployment insurance", etc. etc. Taking credit for a bill that he had nothing to do with except a few moments on the Senate floor to vote and head back to Vermont.

SCHUMER gave the people all that was in the bill, PELOSI/HOYER gave the people all that was in the bill. In fact, even when it was being negotiated he was bashing it from home.

[Docreed2003]

13. +1

It's pathetic and predictable

[The Magistrate]

17. Hear Hear, Sir

And how that man has reached his present age with that finger still attached is something of a mystery to me....

[George II]

21. I've said this before here - he and I were born in the same general neighborhood....

...in the same generation. He's six years older than me and we lived about 2 miles apart.

The one thing my parents taught us is that one of the rudest things is pointing. Period. As you say, I'm surprised he still has that finger. If he grew up on my block someone would have snapped it off before he reached his teens.

Plus, he hasn't lived in Brooklyn for almost 60 years, why does he still have that horrible accent. I lived in the NYC until I was forty, I have NO touch of an accent (except my wife tells me lapse into it when I have a drink!)

[grantcart]

43. He never worked on his accent because

"People said it couldn't be done"

😊

[Scurrilous]

41. LOL

Good one.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Nobody listens to Bernie any more.

I don't know why anybody even bothers to interview him.

[PatSeg]

9. This is getting truly pathetic

Someone close to him needs to conduct an intervention. Any positive feelings I've had about him are evaporating quickly.

[George II]

11. All the people close to him are on salary. If he drops out their gravy train dries up.

[PatSeg]

15. That's true

I have to wonder what his wife thinks about all this. Bernie's health is at risk and most spouses would be very concerned. And then there is also his emotional and mental health to consider. If I was married to him, I would give him an ultimatum - drop out or I'm leaving you.

[oasis]

29. "What beast was't then, that made you break this enterprise to me?

When you durst do it, THEN you were a man; and to be more than you were, you should be so much more the man" Lady MacBeth.

There's always the highly ambitious spouse who would insist that their mate stick with the plan.

You were "wondering", and I'm just sayin'.

[PatSeg]

32. Yes, that thought occurred to me

We never know what makes some people tick. Meanwhile, Bernie is destroying any legacy that he might have had.

[MrsCoffee]

37. Oh I have no doubt about it.

[LizBeth]

22. It is pathetic. He is going out with a whimper, no bang for him. He is writing his place in history

as the pathetic old man holding onto nothing.

[PatSeg]

33. Yes, cranky and bitter

I used to like Bernie (not for a president). Then I grew tired of him and the same old stump speech. Now I honestly can't stand him anymore.

[Squinch]

12. He has become totally pathetic.

[olegramps]

16. He always was pathetic.

[nolabear]

20. You want to see trolls? Check out the "Whoopie" trending topic on Twitter.

How those horrid little monsters think they will ever get a single black or woman vote is beyond me.

[Cha]

24. Just Who Are you Calling "TROLLS", StClone?

[Gothmog]

35. This was a great interview

?

[Walleye]

36. Yes. I only watch the show because of Whoopi
