In reply to the discussion: Too little, too late: Sanders condemns his supporters' 'ugly, personal attacks' against Warren [View all]NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)It was yet another leadership test that BERNIE FAILED. Why is it that ONLY NOW he's willing to step up and "do the right thing". I think it's all a mater of motivation and determining who has the most to gain.
Previously, HE had the most to gain by saying nothing and not scolding or alienating his supporters. For, to do the right thing would risk having them leave.
Now that he wants (or needs) Warren's endorsement and her supporters... he's determined that HE BENEFITS MOST by doing what he should have done from the very beginning.
It's not a matter of doing the right thing for its OWN SAKE and doing it BECAUSE it's the right thing to do... somehow it always circles back to doing ONLY what benefits the campaign.
Well, that's just wrong. It's selfish and wrong. It's NOT the kind of thing that a respectful LEADER would do.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
