Krugman: Sanders' team's smear of Biden shows why Dems distrust them, & the buck stops w/Sanders

Link to tweet

This is a really bad look. It illustrates everything that makes many Democrats distrust the Sanders team — and the buck stops with the candidate

are so unappealing that it hurts him. His team is made up of folks who very well, won't support the nominee unless it's Sanders. In March, once they realize hevisbt going to be the nominee- many will rage and a scorched earth campaign is possible.

Awful surrogates who love being divisive on twitter against our party.

It's about time Sanders was called out on this nonsense. Using pitbull surrogates, Sanders mistakenly claims he cannot be held accountable, can't keep up with all his many field people. But these are his senior people, those he specifically hired for managing the campaign.

Doesn't say much about his leadership abilities. Or we can conclude, it isn't a matter that he can't rein them in. He simply doesn't want to.

It's the one that had the blatant lie in last week's edition about Biden wanting to "cut" Social Security.

Cynthia Nixon dragged out the "corruption" label in reference to Andrew Cuomo. He crushed her 65.5% to 34.5% in the 2018 primary.

That was after Cuomo crushed Teachout 66% to 34% in their primary in 2014.

The "Corruption" attack doesn't work!

Untrustworthy and unqualified Bernie Sanders. Stoking people's anger and making them believe his plans would actually get enacted and work.

PT Barnum was right.
