1. Is it ok to say that he isn't likable?

[OldManTarHeel]

2. It Is . . . because he isn't likable.

[George II]

3. Hillary Clinton said that about a month ago.

4. being dismissive and superior is a core characteristic of many politicians nt

[comradebillyboy]

5. He's very defensive about his 2016 behavior.

Whoopie just wanted to know why he's doing the same thing in 2020. He really doesn't look well at all. Hostile, angry and short tempered.

6. Because He Has A Great Deal Of Wrongdoing To Defend, Sir

He probably has some dim awareness he behaved poorly....





"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

7. "People in a democracy have a right to vote"

Have I missed the pundits saying otherwise? Bernie you stepping aside when you no longer have a path to victory is no different than Beto or Pete or Kamala or Elizabeth or on and on...why should you be treated differently? Were those candidates supporters denied democracy?? No they weren't. But I guess you're special because you're winning ideas or a movement or something. Give me a fucking break

[George II]

8. Beto and Pete and Kamala and Elizabeth and the others knew how to face the reality.....

....of their campaigns.

I don't remember if it was in this segment or the other (the whole thing was chopped due to the poor quality of his video/audio setup), but he started in complaining again about the reason he did so badly on March 3 is because Klobuchar and Buttigieg dropped out.

He simply can't accept the fact that Democrats don't want him to be our nominee.

16. And, We have the "Dem Establishment" to THANK!

Mr. Sanders, for his part, has explained his slide by blaming the Democratic establishment, the collection of party leaders leery of grass-roots candidates promising structural change. Allies have zeroed in on the endorsements of Mr. Buttigieg and Ms. Klobuchar, whose consolidation behind Mr. Biden after the South Carolina primary left the Sanders campaign flat-footed.

Why isn't BS recognizing the Democratic Voters made him Lose?.. they rejected him at the Polls.

[Sloumeau]

9. Yet, some people wonder why Bernie did not get as many Black people to vote for him...

as Joe Biden. I am not wondering.

10. He never actually answered her question

She asked him why he's staying in the campaign. He gave no reason. He shifted to talking about the next stimulus bill and when she asked him again he said we're not having a rally in Michigan.

He was abrasive and defensive.

[George II]

11. He didn't directly answer ANY questions.

[The Magistrate]

12. Are Saying, Sir, This Man Of Unbending Principles Did Not Speak Forthrightly?

It will be necessary for me to retire and recover from my vapors....

[George II]

13. To the question about why he's still in, he countered with "in a democracy people have a right....

....to vote", with a sneering tone.

Someone should remind him that as a Senator he should know that there's nothing in the United States Constitution about the Democratic Party of presidential primaries.

People DO have a right to vote, no one said they didn't.

PS - hope you recover quickly!

15. Brandy, Sir --- That's The Stuff

17. What does that mean... "we're not having a rally in Michigan.."

Thanks, mcar.

I should probably watch.. I just don't to.

[Tetrachloride]

14. Whoopi did her best to be congenial, clear on the "path to victory" question

and clear on Bernie's delay in joining with Hillary in 2016.

and yes -- >. Bernie evaded the answer. "assessing the campaign" does not answer the question of "what path to victory."

[Cha]

18. Well Good.. BS didn't help his "path to victory"..

Thanks, Whoopie!
