1. People are wiser now

Smearing our great candidates is all they have since their pie in the sky is not selling.

[The Valley Below]

2. Not surprised. Disappointed. But not surprised.

[NCProgressive]

5. At the rate he is shooting

he will have no feet left by March 31

[peggysue2]

3. I don't believe it's hopeless

I think the scales are falling from many Democratic eyes in judging Sanders' campaign. There's actually real pushback against the smears this time out. This ain't 2016. We've seen this rodeo before. As for the Steiners? Most Dems have their number as well.

The fanatics will try to create chaos and disunity along with the trolls and bots. That's why Democrats need to hold together. The enemy and true threat is Donald Trump and his minions. We all need to remember that going forward.

Because losing in 2020 is not an option.

9. Agree! And I think we have the right candidate

Joe is amazing...the crap he’s had thrown at him. He’s a totally known quantity... this time voters aren’t listening to made up lies.

[OnDoutside]

33. I don't think Sanders will get the nomination, but if he doesn't i

think it would be better for him not to finish second, as I fear we will see a repeat of 2016. I'm currently going through Rick Wilson's new book, and early on, it's fair to say that he has Bernie's number.

4. Dead-enders gonna dead-end. n/t

[flamingdem]

6. Calling him a "nice guy"

and then smearing about social security.

7. If Bernie Does Not Get The Nomination. He Will Have His Surrogates...

...loudly declare that they are not going to support the Democratic nominee in an effort to help Trump and sabotage the chances for Democrats to win. It is bullying. It is scorched earth. It is a movie that we have all seen before.

The reason is that Bernie's brand is built by painting the Democratic party and Republican party as the same. That is why he attacks them both:

https://www.commondreams.org/news/2020/01/17/trumps-racist-demagoguery-only-works-says-sanders-because-too-many-americans-feel

"How did Trump become president?" Sanders said. "I think it speaks to something that I talk about a lot and that is the fact that...tens and tens of millions of Americans feel that the political establishment, Republican and Democrat, have failed them. Maybe the New York Times has failed them, too."

Bernie is not trying to build a movement. He is trying to destroy one in order to elevate himself.

8. ......and lotsa people will POINT IT OUT

Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over etc.

It's how divisive propaganda is DONE.

Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over ..........................................................

10. I truely hope all Bernie supporters will vote for the Dem nominee, whoever it is!

I was a strong Bernie supporter in 2016. I voted for him in the primary in Pa. even though he wasn't leading by then. This time, he's just too negative. I'm tired of DT saying all our Gov. Departments are bad, the Intelligence is bad, and I know more than the Generals I want an experienced person to take the helm of our Country and recreate the alliances DT has destroyed all over the World.

I don't see Bernie doing that. I hope he supports our Dem candidate, whoever it is.

11. Sanders was forced to apologize publicly to Biden today: https://cbsn.ws/2TH4grN

Once again, Bernie has to apologize for something he knew nothing about but yet one of his surrogates said. How many times does that have to happe before someone asks who is actually capable of running a campaign, let alone a country!

Biden is a class act. B ernie's surrogates? Not so muc h.

@JoeBiden
Thanks for acknowledging this, Bernie. These kinds of attacks have no place in this primary. Let’s all keep our focus on making Donald Trump a one-term president.

23. Why now?

His internal polling must be showing a lot of blowback.

12. Welcome Back to DU

We love how much he bothers you

[NYMinute]

14. That is what a Trump supporter said to me

"We love how much it pains you liberals"

Where did your friend go?

[NYMinute]

17. I've been here about 7-8 months

What is "welcome back to DU" supposed to mean? I never left.

[Hav]

19. It's supposed to mean

"I have no logical argument to counter your point. I cannot continue the discussion based on facts, therefore I have to make it personal even if it makes no sense".

Looks like you pointing out the resemblance to the sadism of Trumpers hit a nerve.

[blm]

28. ✔️

[BannonsLiver]

27. It means they have no real rebuttal.

And in this case, I'm NOT AT ALL surprised.

[Squinch]

29. Don't you hate how disgusting and stupid the trumpers sound when they talk about

how happy they are when they are "sticking it to liberals?" I think it really shows their nastiness and ignorance.

Don't you?

[NYMinute]

13. Yep

We have seen the movie before. Now it is in reruns.

[Gothmog]

16. sanders needs to fire Sirota

sanders has shown very bad judgment in hiring Sirota and a number of staffers who voted for Jill Stein

[NYMinute]

18. Sirota is more suitable to run Trump's campaign

He will do what Karl Rove, Roger Stone or even rats wouldn't do.

[honest.abe]

20. This is Trump's only hope to win again.

I don’t think it will be enough this time but it could make it a much tighter election.

[NCProgressive]

21. Trump may be secretly funding a fourth mansion

[redqueen]

31. What's this about a fourth mansion?

[betsuni]

22. K&R

[NurseJackie]

24. But won't they be proud of their purity?

Hopeless.

But won't they be proud of their purity? (Ugh! The "stein-crowd" make me want to vomit.)

[Cha]

25. KICK HIGH

[still_one]

26. I think people are wise to him this time around

[blm]

32. They mocked the Supreme Court argument in 2016.

If they do it again they are traitors or Russian trolls. No in between.

[Cha]

35. More anyway.

[C_U_L8R]

30. It's a sorry way to cap a political career.

Stay classy.

[getagrip_already]

34. The lies are already flying in campaign ads..

Reports from Iowa are not good.
