He might be kind of edgy about now being out in public.
Going all Andrew Dice Clay on Bernie right not might not help party unity. We need Bernie's voters to put a Dem in the White House, we need Bernie's voters to capture the senate away from Mitch, we likely need Bernie's voters to retain the House.
Trump is a conman who knows how to manipulate and massage public sentiment especially his voter base. His e re-election team are slime ball con men extraordinaire.
Do not alienate Bernie's voters for the naked excitement or thrills derived for having done so, because the ultimate final result is a second four year term for Trump in the White House. Will the entertainment be worth it as we witness our Democracy fade and final crumble as Trump style Fascism steps to the forefront and gains solid footing ?
Please don't allow that or do that to each other. The giggles, the thrills, and cheap shots against Bernie could prove very costly and detrimental to our political party. We must focus upon mending the chasms, unifying the party, and creating a force so strong and overwhelming Team Trump is ground to dust.
Back off on the Andrew Dice Clay routine - there is important work to be done - in house fighting gets us nowhere except way behind the opposition.
