Will Bernie Sanders condemn this from one of his PAID staffers? Orfalea was hired....

....then fired the next day for some horrible videos, then quietly re-hired - Jane has praised his "work" on twitter.

Like anyone wants the left version of Trump.. No wonder Putin threw money at both of them. I know someone who is a Sanders supporter or was.. I am kind of thinking they have moved on.. but they said that in the campaign.. some of the paid staff was not to be believed..

THAT is the kind of "horrible video" that required Sanders to fire him after being found out secretly hiring him for it.

As for Jane Sanders, like marries like.

Mitch McConnell -- Elaine Chao

A man of strong character would have acknowledged defeat and bowed out long ago....





"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."

I take no exception to your post, but I fail to see how, other than a semantic trick, your post would be a rebuttal of mine.

Yes. Bernie is a man of weak character. That he cannot bring himself to fire scumbag sycophants on his staff shows that to be the case - throws into highlight that character flaw - makes it evident to his supporters.

You do know that you can post a reply to an OP without climbing on another reply? Sir.
