The media created this shitstorm, Sanders would rather talk about issues but Rose won't let it go.

He answered but Rose won't let it go.

That's how you stop a bully. If you don't they keep on doing it. As a supporter, I'm more than 2000% glad he's not putting up with their shit.

Go Bernie!

Owen Wilson walks up the Bill Murray (Steve Zissou) and says "I'm gonna fight you, Steve." Steve punches him and says, "never walk up to someone and say 'I'm gonna fight you Steve.' Just act natural and sucker punch them."

Hillary's camp said, "I'm gonna fight you, Bernie." Bernie hit them.

Why should a person who is attacked and defends themselves apologize to the attacker.

Their own fact checkers gave him three Pinocchios. Hillary never said that he was unqualified to be president. It would have been far more honorable to admit a mistake, instead of doubling down on it.

We all seen the "disqualify and destroy" threads here right after Wisconsin. Hillary didn't expect Bernie to come back like that.

followed by her refusal the next day to admit that he is qualified to be president (while stating in so many words that he is not qualified):

It's a little gotcha game. The Hill campaign lets the Bernie campaign know they are going to "disqualify" him. The next day Hill goes on Morning Joe where she's asked three times if Bernie is qualified to be president and refuses to answer the question but uses language that suggests he doesn't know what he's talking about, doesn't do his homework, gets confused, etc. -- iow, that he's mentally unqualified.

Then, when Bernie, a straight shooter, comes out and says okay she calls me unqualified but I think she's unqualified because of her IWR vote and taking money from big corporations, etc., none of which even approaches the demeaning remarks she made about him ...

And then the media jumps all over Bernie while Hill laughs and says nice things about him.

Cute, huh? It's a setup. A diabolical little game. Her supporters know what she's doing but they are no better than she. They play along. As we all know by now, they find honest boy scout types like Bernie and hopeful Bernie supporters equally amusing.

Me, I think there's a special place in hell.

BTW, did you ever get a hide for something as silly and harmless as this?

I now realize that the whole shtick is a game. You probably already knew it.

Nina turner was just on CNN and didn't even make the distinction... That should be the main talking point, keep it out front that it is her ethical and judgment lapses that he was saying disqualifies her.

He is trying yet again to make Sanders the victimizer when he simply stood up and bit back at the attacks, vile & vicious I might add, coming from the Clinton Machine.

You could see Sanders struggling with the toxicity that his campaign managers have filled the campaign with for months.
