Bernie 'will play dirty': Ex-Vermont governor slams Sanders [View all]
The latest talking point from BS is that he may stay in the race even if he is not going to be the nominee, because he wants to push his agenda. That is classic BS. If he wanted to push his agenda, then he would not spend debates or have his campaign focusing on personal attacks on other candidates. It is not just Biden. BS is going to continue to attack and undermine the Democratic party, which as we have seen has helped cost him the nomination, but that is not really the goal. The goal is to elevate himself and pump his ego once again at the expense of the Democratic party.
The irony is that while Bernie continues to run negative ads, and his campaign pushes lies like Biden is suffering from dementia, you will start hearing themes about how everyone needs to layoff Bernie and not point this out, because fighting back will undermine unity. Yet, for all the talk of unity, Bernie continues to attack and serve up talking points for Trump, rather than push his so-called agenda.
That is classic BS. We need to fight and win the Presidency against Trump, against the Republicans, against the Russians and against BS. Don't fall for BS's effort to turn the Democratic primaries into a BS-ego fest. Don't repeat the same mistakes. Cornell West, Susan Sarandon, Nina Turner, Briahna Joy Gray want the Democratic nominee to lose if Bernie is not the nominee, and no amount of sucking up to Bernie is going change that.

In an interview with POLITICO, Peter Shumlin — who has endorsed Joe Biden for president in 2020 and served as Vermont’s governor from 2011 to 2017, while Sanders represented the state in the Senate — warned that Sanders, an independent and a self-described democratic socialist, ultimately did not feel loyalty to Democrats.
“What I’ve seen in Bernie’s politics is he and his team feel they’re holier than the rest. In the end, they will play dirty because they think that they pass a purity test that Republicans and most Democrats don’t pass,” said Shumlin. “What you’re seeing now is, in the end, even if he considers you a friend, like Elizabeth Warren, Bernie will come first. That’s the pattern we’ve seen over the years in Vermont, and that’s what we are seeing now nationally.”

The salvo from Shumlin is the latest reaction to an ongoing spat between Sanders and Warren, two longtime friends who had taken part in a nonaggression pact before entering the 2020 presidential primary. But tensions have been building slowly between the two, coming to a head at Tuesday’s debate, when a hot mic caught Warren asking Sanders after the debate if he was calling her a liar on TV, after he denied saying in an earlier private conversation that a woman could not be elected president.
If I were to vote in a presidentialprimary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
