Those observations show that Bernie can command the respect of Democrats, including former Democrats.

I tell you one thing...tonight Bernie Sanders lost my respect. I have stuck up for him and cut slack right and left.

He wants Democrats to vote for him but instead he is just alienating them and PISSING them the fuck off.

By the end of September he'd already outspent Biden by $17 million.

Way to get to second or third place!

Rolling Stone summarized today's most important headline perfectly:

Bernie Sanders Outraises Billionaire-Backed Competition

Berners wear your skepticism as a badge of honor.

anyone confuses fundraising with winning.

Sanders outspent Biden in the first three quarters of last year, and it didn't help.

He outspent HRC four years ago, and it didn't help.

NPR estimated Sanders spent more than twice as much per vote as HRC did in 2016, at least during the month with the most primaries, the one they had the latest data on:

Look, if Sanders and his supporters want to take a fundraising victory lap, fine.

But it's silly to pretend it means or predicts a political victory.

If Sanders' fundraising trailed the pack, DUers from coast to coast would claim it as proof of his imminent demise.

Only in Rumpelstiltskin logic could trouncing the competition be a negative.

I realize that the fact that Sanders SMOKED your guy, despite taking gobs of corporate and Super PAC money, is a jagged little pill but I have my head on straight. Of that you can be sure.

I'll let them do the talking.

David Axelrod first.

Lieberman was no Progressive. That point is incontrovertible. However, to dismiss his decades of service, including many years which he shared with Bernie and Biden as members of Congress, over his final bad years, is disingenuous at best.

FUCK JOE LIEberman.

Joe Lieberman certainly doesn't have the Democratic Party's best interests in mind, and I'd even go so far as to suggest that he's trying to goad the party into making a huge mistake.

Bernie can have his sorry ass.

achievements are throwing elections to Republicans. Gotta wonder what their combining forces would do. Otoh, we could have some fun coming up with slogans for their third-party campaign.

I like "Make America Right Again".

But also up for grabs and in the general spirit are:
Rand Paul's "Defeat the Washington Machine. Unleash the American Dream."
Ben Carson's "Heal. Inspire. Revive."
Huckabee's "From Hope to Higher Ground"
Ted Cruz's "TRUSTED," "A Time for Truth," and "Defeat the Washington Cartel"

slogan I would apply to the partnership of those two.

though I feel that would bring a wonderful clarity to a splinter candidacy.

fifty-five so it was removed from consideration when the ACA was being put together in the senate. After he and a few others had opposed the public option and that had to be removed as well. Thanks, Joe, for all your help getting us into this mess. We would be much closer to universal health care and many lives saved without you.

If you read what he says in his voice you fall asleep just like you do when watching him talk.



I saw him at and event with Gore. They gave out Five Hour Energy by the quart at the door.

He always reminded me of Droopy Dog:

Leeb makes me sick
