Now they are finally vetting him and it turns out that what we see now is not just Sanders snarling like a cornered rat because he is losing; it appears that a snarling cornered rat is who he is. I have been really really trying to be calm, giving him every benefit of the doubt when interacting with his supporters, but I can not do that any more. This man is a snake.
“In other words, Sanders is using dog-whistles to remind people that being president is a “man’s” job. If he is nominated, I doubt we’ll see much emphasis on women’s issues.
“During the 1986 race for governor of Vermont, Bernie Sanders bristled at the popularity of the Democratic incumbent, Madeleine Kunin. Mr. Sanders, who was running against her as an independent, saw himself as a leader, and viewed Ms. Kunin as a lightweight.
âShe does very well on television,â he told one interviewer. âShe has an excellent press secretary.â
But really, he said another time, the governorâs appeal came down to one trait.
âMany people are excited because sheâs the first woman governor,â he said. âBut after that, there ainât much.â”
He is just a nasty, self-righteous man. I wonder if his female supporters will be ticked off by the blatant sexism. Really some of his comments made my skin crawl.
Because of him and his YU-U-U-U-U-GE rallies of young revolutionaries, I haven’t been able to watch TV at all for the anxiety caused by the pundits about his surging, his polls, the size of his rallies, etc.
I so wish the primaries were over and Bernie Sanders free to return to the Senate where he fillibusters bills from his own party.
Me too, NCLB. He is as bad as the GOP when it comes to making up his own facts…and the MSM let’s him get away with it, just as they do with the GOP.
The whole thing about him not being paid for speeches…he says it as if he doesn’t accept payment, but the fact is he CAN’T accept payment.
I hate that whenever something is said that can be considered a negative for HRC, the media jumps on it and makes it a top story for days. Yet, all the unethical tactics, the bad behavior, etc. by Bernie, his campaign staff, his surrogates, and his supporters have gotten little more than a glance.
I’m with you on that hope, Judith. At this point, I just want the Bernie campaign to end so I don’t have to see his red faced, finger wagging or hear endless repetitions of the same stump speech. So many of his supporters are rude bullies, while others seem almost cult like their inability to see through his BS. Enough is enough. We have a major battle in the fall and we can’t continue to have this constant undermining of the Democratic Party from someone who has no business running as a Democrat.
NCLB, we all know we would not be hearing about the defects of the New York voting system if Bernie were winning. Somehow the cockamamie systems in the caucus states were just fine because he won them. If Hillary won, then either the system was bad or she did something corrupt. Losing is never Bernie’s fault in his warped world.
EXACTLY!!! Him and all his supporters are up in arms because they can’t vote in the PRIMARY – while ignoring the fact that so many can’t vote in the actual ELECTION because of GOP chicanery and he’s not calling them out – it’s the DEMS who are corrupt, right?
I bet there will be a t-shirt with that on it ready to sell tomorrow. Do you remember the 2008 debate when McCain referred to Candidate Obama as “that one”? I went on line **that night!** and ordered a sweatshirt that said, “I’m voting for that one”. It came a few days later. đ
We’ve all enjoyed ourselves so much with “the little things,” haven’t we? It’s been almost a decade of it, and we haven’t stopped loving the age of Obama. Truly, we’ve been lucky. Goodnight to you!
Bernie’s idea of a revolution is every candidate for himself. All need to fund raise their own campaigns from the underpaid, over taxed oppressed public. The Young NYC Public Housing expert that was on Lawrence’s show had both Hillary and Bernie come tour the Housing with him. He endorsed Bernie tonight on O’Donnell’s Show. I bet Bernie promised him that he would fix everything and put a chicken in every pot.
I had the volume down when that came on, but saw the banner at the bottom of the screen, OG. In all the promises, I bet he didn’t say *how* he would do it.
The problem HRC will have (and what PBO has had) is the people who don’t want to operate within the realm of realism. They are promised rainbows and pie in the sky. The Bernie’s of the world make them believe it’s no big deal to make it happen. When it doesn’t happen, they don’t look at the person who made the false promises…they look at the rational ones who never promised it in the first place.
I was worried I’d have to pay so I managed to get it in. My taxes are pretty simple with TurboTax anyway. I did mine and my son’s in about 2 hours.
Anyway, it’s done!
I always have to pay; my strategy is better I pay a little at the end vice giving them an interest free loan throughout the year. Was about to finalize my return when I realized I failed to take an energy tax credit for my gas conversion and central air installation; will gather the necessary docs together and finalize my return in the next month… Will go from $150 in the red, to $300 in the Black! Oh, happy day!
It struck me how true this is. I hope it gets more headway. This is a meme I can get behind and one that means very much to me. Thanks for bringing it here.

Congrats on your win!
Thanks.. You are the first to ever congratulate me. I’m often ignored but oh well.
Aw! Never again MR! Like most families you’re with us, though we may not always show it! đ

He’s a big, sexist, ass dogwhistling for the other sexist asses.
Now we know why hardly any of his colleagues from Congress support him after working with him all those years – even the ones from Vermont.
He is just a nasty, self-righteous man. I wonder if his female supporters will be ticked off by the blatant sexism. Really some of his comments made my skin crawl.
I want Senator Sanders gone. Far. Very far!
Because of him and his YU-U-U-U-U-GE rallies of young revolutionaries, I haven’t been able to watch TV at all for the anxiety caused by the pundits about his surging, his polls, the size of his rallies, etc.

Me too. Fought hard on Twitter tonight, but boy oh boy those Berniebots are some seriously blind people.
Another NC Cancellation…
It’s like inviting yourself to*my* house and trying to demolish it because you don’t like my house rules.
BS has listened to Thom Hartmann who always tells people to join the Democratic party to change it. Thats fine but at least BE a Democrat.
Exactly, 0388jojothecat
A noun, a verb, and millionaires & billionaires.
No Child that is good news about that officer being FIRED.!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Call me when he’s brought up on charges
What an inspiring photo from the Boston Marathon! I really hope Hillary has a blowout victory in NY tomorrow.
I’m with you on that hope, Judith. At this point, I just want the Bernie campaign to end so I don’t have to see his red faced, finger wagging or hear endless repetitions of the same stump speech.

Absolutely!
Hear, hear!
I already have NY Primary Fatigue!
I want the Senator from Vermont to return to the Senate! I want him gone. NOW.
Hear, hear!
Me too, me too, Judith. From your lips to God’s ears!!!!
Where were those comments in 2004, 2008, and 2012, not to mention in 2010 and 2014???
NCLB, we all know we would not be hearing about the defects of the New York voting system if Bernie were winning.

I am praying for Bernie’s safe return… to VERMONT!
… a hasty return would be nice
“Seriously”
yeah, I am sold. what an useless critter for the ‘librul media’.
But is he complaining about the voter id laws which are removing 100% the right to vote for many people?
EXACTLY!!! Him and all his supporters are up in arms because they can’t vote in the PRIMARY – while ignoring the fact that so many can’t vote in the actual ELECTION because of GOP chicanery and he’s not calling them out – it’s the DEMS who are corrupt, right?
After the damage Bernie will have done…
…I hope they can help bring about the repair that will most certainly be needed.
Oops…wrong link
I don’t care if they are siamese siblings, I am voting for her and not for him!
aaand ?
Good one, NCLB. You had me laughing out loud.
So is PBO and Darth Cheney……lucky for Cheney too bad for PBO.
Yeap. The one at which time Paul Ryan will emerge dress in a golden Roman robe.
“dressed”
I’m “optimistic” that McConnell will go home to the family plantation soon, and wither away like the crops after a dust storm.
Oh, Nerdy dahling, tears actually started squirting from my eyes when I read the President’s tweet. Thank you – would have missed it, otherwise.
We all need t-shirts after Jan 2017 that read: “We carry on. We finish the race.”
I bet there will be a t-shirt with that on it ready to sell tomorrow. Do you remember the 2008 debate when McCain referred to Candidate Obama as “that one”? I went on line **that night!** and ordered a sweatshirt that said, “I’m voting for that one”. It came a few days later. đ
We’ve all enjoyed ourselves so much with “the little things,” haven’t we? It’s been almost a decade of it, and we haven’t stopped loving the age of Obama. Truly, we’ve been lucky. Goodnight to you!
Like that
Doris Roberts of Everybody loves Raymond died. May she rest in peace.
Sorry to hear that. She sure gave a lot of people a lot of laughs, over the years. May she rest in peace.
She was a supporter of POTUS too. Unlike that one that played Debra, what’s her name? Patricia Wheaton?????
I would never watch anything starring that Patricia Wheaton or whatever her name was, again. Some people should keep their mouths shut!
I feel about Wheaton like I feel about Clint Eastwood, Chuck Norris, Scott Biao, Dennis Miller, couldn’t stand any of them.
Angelia Pitt’s dad is in that bunch too.
Nutballs, all of them
Who? Never heard of ’em. They’re dead to me.
Goodnight to you, bella!
I hated that show after a few episodes. Cruel jokes don’t make comedy. May she RIP.
I love her, she was a great actress and loved her in everything she did. May she rest in peace, condolenses to family & friends.
Aw, I liked her.
I want to save that tweet and laugh tomorrow night. I am very cautious about polls and actual votes.
I just hope she blows the bs out of water in NY & PA and shuts him and his vile base for ever.
Hollah!
A stark reminder
Good night TODVille!
Important NY day tomorrow.

I bet Bernie promised him that he would fix everything and put a chicken in every pot.
I’m sure he already made up his mind before they toured.
I had the volume down when that came on, but saw the banner at the bottom of the screen, OG. In all the promises, I bet he didn’t say *how* he would do it.

Hi Nerdy
Many thanks for the post – do hope you and yours are safe from the flooding.
Won’t post his ugly mug here, however, this is just too precious…
Trump mistakenly refers to 9/11 as 7-11 http://hill.cm/Wv7rOCX
Well, I just hit send to e-file my taxes. Whew!
Congrats! I gave up and filed an extension…
I was worried I’d have to pay so I managed to get it in. My taxes are pretty simple with TurboTax anyway. I did mine and my son’s in about 2 hours.
Anyway, it’s done!

Congratulations!!
I also use TT.
It’s a great program.
Horrific tragedy in every way.
Good night TOD ….
