Not really my style of humor, cause appearance jokes and ageism isn't really my thing...
But I do agree with # 1.

Well, first they Ignore you......then they Mock you...I thinks that's about where we are.
So far, because they have nothing else they focus upon his Personal, Physical Appearance.
Tell me again how That explains and describes his Issues Policies and his Political Record? You know, the "stuff" important to the average American....I think they underestimate the level of Discontent amongst us all.
The "comedic" Focus on Sanders mere appearance may be a measure of the Level of FEAR Bernies presents To the Democrats Corporate Wing Status Quo.
I don't know if the electorate, especially those who have attended a Sanders event, or who have followed him for years are in the Mood for a continuation of this bs. I think one of the attractions about Sanders IS his ability to keep all eyes on the Issues. He won't be "side-tracked" during a MSM interview.
I am not amused when they personally attack Warren, FLOTUS, HRC etc either.
WTF does That have to do with Anything? It isn't even "funny".

(10,044 posts)The fact that he's had on something about Bernie about 5 times already means that the staff is thinking about Bernie. Nothing was "real" bad, and candidates are supposed to be able to take a joke.

(Oooops maybe I am suffering knee-jerk "over-protection" for the one I support )

(36,221 posts)wow, you sure do like to ascribe adjectives to persons posts from out of the blue...
Yesterday you said I said something Bernie did was reprehensible... when I never said any such thing....
I like Bernie Sanders. I support Hillary Clinton, deal.....

(4,959 posts)and that you know will likely offend based on the 'appearance jokes and ageism',
just so you can have one more way to hammer home the idea that Sanders can't beat Clinton.
Super charming.

(4,959 posts)You either didn't actually read all the words in my post, or you replied in the wrong place.
You may want to read the replies to your juvenile flamebait more carefully before answering.

(16,038 posts)I would say Hilary has around a 10% chance of making it, meaning someone who enters between now and then will most likely be our candidate...may be Bernie....a true populist will win the General election if one is actually nominated...

Comes with the territory. We should all be able to laugh at them and at ourselves.
