actually really cared about the people instead of listening to the sound of his own voice. Someone who knew more than a stump speech he'd been using for decades.
How must it feel to feel like a god? Bernie Sanders knows. At the end of each of his debates with Hillary Clinton, he never turned toward her or the news anchors. He always turned to his cheering, adoring fans, soaking up the sunbeams of their love each and every time. Who wouldn’t?
This is the part that pissed me off the most.. BS trying to erase President Obama's Successful Legacy with his own ego.. disingenuously raging on him.. Then Senator Obama went to Vermont to campaign for sanders in 2006.. yeah, so what?! But, sanders is never grateful for any progress and sniffs @ anything that Obama has accomplished.
After 8 years of GOP obstructionism, the stage was set. “Run Bernie Run!” The far-left progressives said, since they felt no shame or culpability in turning their back on President Obama when the going got tough. They were happy and content to blame him. He wasn’t progressive ENOUGH. But Bernie WAS. Bernie would do what Obama couldn’t. He could somehow force the Republican Congress to pass single-payer health care because Obama couldn’t. He could impose higher taxes on the other half of America who did not want more social programs. He could compel Wall Street speculators to foot the bill for free college nationwide. He could dismantle America’s financial system to break up the big banks. Even though he has no earthly way to pull any of that off.
"Oligarchy, Billionaires, Wall Street, Goldman Sachs." BS in a nutshell.
Oh and trump fans only being the ones who tried to smear her with Benghazi? She didn't read DU, did she?
"Though tensions might have run high in 2008, as poll numbers show us, neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama ever engaged in such sloppy, cruel, abusive and destructive “anything to win” tactics. They both maintained a level of dignity and civility — a nicety Sanders has conveniently abandoned in the cry for “revolution.”
You see, for Bernie, it’s still all about Bernie. It’s still about a god’s rise. He can’t accept Hillary’s rise and triumph — even if his denial risks the fate of the country. Has any politician in recent memory ever abandoned so much to achieve so little?
Thanks for this Boot, Sasha's Really Good.. I'm thinking Sasha Stone isn't the only one feeling like this.
