Iowa Starting Line - Where’s The Beef, Bernie?

[MADem]

109. Look at the super delegate count. How many of those DC incumbents are backing BS?

And do YOU ever hear what YOU type in your head?


Where does THIS come from, I wonder?

Yes, if Sanders wins the Presidency, things will be horrible and awful and nothing will ever get done. If Clinton wins, it will be all rainbows, skittles, and unicorns. Jesus. At least try to have some semblance of a consistent argument.

In a DU where the ratio wasn't eight to one, or even more lopsided since so many people have left, that kind of comment would be regarded as terribly rude. Now, it's par for the course.

Let's leave the horrible awful rainbows behind, shall we, and talk facts. Sanders can't get hardly a SOUL in DC to endorse him; he has almost no super delegates, he has no FRIENDS. This is because he's spent a quarter century on the Hill, and has done very little to reach out to people in all that time. This isn't "Being Mean To Bernie" -- it's fact.

And facts are stubborn things.

He has no clout and no coattails. And he has a crappy, bad math Pie in the Sky plan that will NOT pass Congress. So basically, what HE is (not Clinton) is a "rainbows, skittles, and unicorns" (those are YOUR words) spinner. And people who actually vote on legislation for a living see this, and are not impressed.

Anyone can point and yell. He does that well. What he can't do is deliver that "plan" he keeps talking about--and everyone is starting to realize that.

The thing that sucks about getting all that great press when you have a surge in the polls is that sometimes the press isn't so great. The spotlight is on Bernie, and he's going to be called to account like everyone else. He promised to release his figures, and now he's reneging.
