Bernie Sanders on TV, morphing Orlando shooting into his stump speech

YET AGAIN. Unbelievable.

The 1%! Special interests! Oligarchy! Big financial interests! Young people are upset!

OH FFS.

I'm really, really trying to be charitable to him but DAMN he makes it HARD.

Notably absent? A single word about the epidemic level of gun violence.

Is he running for DWS's job? He wants everything to change that didn't help him win.

campaign finance reform and other familiar themes that are from his standard stump speech.

I just don't understand.

BS and his wife jane have shown nothing but "disrespect" and they claim they're disrespected? Talk about projecting.

As an open obstructionist, who exactly is "just like the Republicans," at this point?

simultaneous withering attacks on the Orange Blob, and she mentioned in passing that BS has been squeezed out of the debate now that national security has taken center stage. She basically said that BS is not someone people turn to on issues of national security, so he has been completely sidelined.

shouldn't be offended that they aren't allowed to pick our nominees. Why is that concept so difficult for BS? There are other parties to the left of us, they should put their energies there. I know why they don't want to do it, because it means WORK. They want to co-opt a major party that has already done the hard work of building an infrastructure. They should get over themselves, and I hope Hillary, the POTUS, and the DNC let him know, in no uncertain terms, that he won't be calling the shots. He lost!

I don't want open primaries. Why should non-Democrats come into the Democratic Party & push their agenda on us? If they are so concerned about us then join up, otherwise hit the road.

Remember Rush Limbaugh in 2008 telling Republicans in open primary states to vote in the Democratic primary to screw with the results? I forget the details, but Limbaugh was pushing it.

I'm hoping Hillary & the DNC play hard ball with Bernie. DWS said today she's not resigning. I've run out of patience and respect for the man.

Two things I will never forgive:

1. Calling Hillary unqualified.
2. Stating "When I'm president. ..." last week during a rally after meeting with President Obama.

Argh ....

For better of for worse, I'm a lifelong member of the Democratic party, and I don't go switching my party registration everytime I get pissed off. So, for those who have a moral objection to my party......I don't want you meddling in our platform, who we choose as a nominee, and you don't get a say in who heads up the DNC.

Jane read it over & over to him until he had it memorized, propped him up behind a podium & ran his campaign via social media.

HE IS STILL REPEATING THE SHORT STUMP SPEECH KEYWORDS THAT JANE, DEVINE & WEAVER BURNED INTO HIS BRAIN ON THEIR LONG CAMPAIGN TRIPS.
He only had to memorize from a short list, and today he sounds just like he did in the beginning.

Unbelievable.
Bet he repeats it in his sleep..over & over.
And he wants to lead the nation into the future?!
God help us all.
