Revenge of the Nerd: Bernie’s Political Ponzi Scheme

Editorial from CALBUZZ

"It’s time to call Bernie Sanders out for what he is: a fraud."

SNIP
..."But from where we sit, Bernie’s gone from being a crusader for lefty ideas to an ego-tripping old crank who just can’t get enough of the rush that comes from people paying serious attention to him for the first time his political career.

Speaking of ego-tripping old cranks,".. more

But wait, there's more!"

ones who've noticed, mister.

We have to agree with David Plouffe, Obama’s former campaign manager, who tweeted out the other day:

“Sanders has run a stunningly strong campaign fueled by passionate supporters. But raising $$ stating you have path to nomination is fraud
.”

Some Sunday host asked BS about this and he said.. DP works for the Clinton campaign.. which is a damn lie. He endorsed her only. And, it's still "fraud"..

Great 1st comment..

I have been a delegate to the last 10 National Conventions and attended dozens of Democratic National Committee meetings, over the decades. I have never met Senator Sanders. He finally came to a DNC meeting last summer in Minneapolis, to speak as a presidential candidate. What bothers a lot of Democrats, is Sanders has shown disdain for the Democratic Party for decades. He ran against a woman (sound familiar) incumbent Democratic Governor, ran against Senator Pat Leahy (almost costing him the election) but now acting like he has been “family” all his life. People from Vermont have said- Bernie is consistent- he is always for Bernie.

Thank you! I love it! Calbuzz!

5. Howard Dean was just on MSNBC, and it was really strange.

It wasn't what he said about Bernie needing to rally his supporters in favor of Clinton; it was what he DIDN'T SAY, and how loudly he didn't say it.

Did that make any sense? He acted like he really didn't like BS, but he wouldn't go on the record. It was really weird.

And how did the AA community respond to the question about supporting HRC... 'she was there for us.'

10. Truth. It would be a massacre if BS got the nomination

The reason why Sanders runs better than Clinton against Republican contenders is simple: while Republicans have run virtually no negatives against Sanders (because they want him to be the nominee), Clinton has been accused of everything – literally — from murder to treason over a span of 30 years. Yet she’s still standing.

Calbuzz spelled this out back in January and even some of the laggard MSM have begun to understand the facts. David Corn of Mother Jones argued that the big problem for Bernie would be that he’s a socialist and Republicans would attack him on those grounds.

That’s way too naïve. Sanders would be bludgeoned hammer and sickle as a dead-beat dad with an illegitimate son — as an atheist, commie, pinko out to raise your taxes, crush your religious freedom and your right to bear arms, weaken the military and appease the Russians, set criminals free to rape your daughter, take away your home, round you up and ship you off to live on a vegan commune with leather-clad lesbians and gays in charge.
