In all fairness, he cancelled a number of Florida events today due to illness. That might explain something.

Old man lecturing young guy without bothering to listen to, or care about, answers. Expects everyone to listen to him shout.

Reminds me of the '60s, TBH

That said, not a good look for Pete, either

Weren't you the one complaining incessantly about quotes not being quotes? Not understanding, of course, what constitutes a parody.

others to let the candidate respond without interruption. Pete was arrogant, unprofessional and immature, trying to muscle in on Bernie’s time. Pete did this repeatedly, and even Biden complained. Everyone wanted airtime and there was some understandable jostling, but Pete seemed pretty obnoxious to me and my friends.

You might want to watch it again. The question was absolutely put to Bernie.

VOTERS: Look. You're marrying Princess Bernie ...



ESTABLISHMENT: But I don't like her.

VOTERS: What's wrong with her? She's young; she's beautiful; she's got a HUGE number of delegates ...



Better to laugh than to cry, no?

This is posted in good fun. Obviously, Bernie's not my first choice for our nominee.
