The Obama Diary 
Bernie has a couple trump traits, I’d say.
Twenty-four hours is a lifetime in politics, forty-eight hours is even longer. The sands under Sanders feet have shifted to such an extent that he seems to be a man without a country. Unfortunately for Sanders, like many politicians before him he ceased being able to read the room, what might have sold yesterday, today it can’t even be given away for free. Being able to see around corners is what makes a politician successful, not longevity, but vision and foresight. The one thing about Warren, Pete, Beto, and Amy is that they didn’t let their egos overrule their common sense. They can live to fight another day, perhaps in an even stronger and better position. Sometimes how you carry yourself in defeat makes all the difference in the world.
EXACTLY.
💯%.
A crusty old proclaimed Socialist in 2016, then aged 74yrs old, Bernie Sanders, refused to bow out when he knew darn well that his candidacy for the presidency was over. He talked about gracefully bowing out…but the $$ were pouring in, he got addicted to the Fame, Notoriety and the Power & after a day or 2, came out with the most vicious attacks on Hillary Clinton…further dividing the Left & the Dems. Now at 78yo, He knows that this is his last hooray and like an old cranky dog, he is Never going to let it go. He will cling to this fantasy of a REVOLUTION until the bitter end…Unfortunately.
But I pray that Sanders will see the light…For Karma hates Ugliness.
Something I’ve been seeing is that Sanders captured the youth vote. I think they’re idealistic being young and having grown up during 9/11, etc. They also have horrendous student loans, aside from them thinking Medicare 4 all will cure everything. I’ve read lots of articles about how Universal Healthcare is a much better solution, with credible analysis supporting it.
Seems like they think Sanders will wave his magic wand, and everything will get better. It pissed me off that when Warren saw Medicare 4 all wasn’t such a good idea, she changed her view and laid out a pragmatic path to get there, while Sanders hasn’t explained anything. Points to the the misogyny at play.
I think Biden’s campaign needs to bring the young vote in and address their concerns. Although would they listen? Thinking Biden is the “Establishment”.
folks talk about Sanders and the youth vote….however they did not come out to vote…unlike for Pres Obama….that youth wave did not appear for Sanders
Most if not all of Bernie’s positions are “sugar highs” in that they are great going in but soon the body realizes that it doesn’t provide any nutritional value at all. As a candidate you can say free college and M4A all you want to but in the end you have to realistically show how you will get to free college and M4A. Bernie’s plan is to shame and browbeat politicians into voting for his plans, with these Republicans in office they can’t be shamed into doing the will of the people. I know for a fact that Biden’s plans can and will work
because the Obama Administration proved that they can work.
Yes, I agree Don; they’re sugar highs. But why oh why do the young voters buy his bull shit?! Both my sons voted for Sanders in the primary. Thank God I know they’re vote for Biden in the campaign (when he wins!).
The youth are sometimes cursed with being young.
I see your point. Idealisitc.
One youthful characteristic that I’ve observed is the expectation of immediate gratification. “Work smarter, not harder” is a mantra I often hear. For many, entitlement has taken the place of earning through hard work. (And that applies to many older people as well.) Sanders is able to attract many with the glitz and glitter. Labeling it a “revolution” adds to the attraction. I’m hoping that for many, the glitz will tarnish as reality comes into play and they come to realize how one dimensional and close-minded Sanders is. As they start asking the *hows*, many will come to understand that, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch,” is more than just a phrase.
I went to rally for Gov Gavin Newsome when he was running in 2018. I’m so impressed with him. He talked to me a long time, even when his handlers were trying to move me on. We talked about the youth vote and why they vote the way they do. He really gave me some thoughtful answers and ignored his handlers and kept talking to me.
Excellent! Glad to hear this.
So true, Don. 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Well said Sir! 👏🏾
Right ON!!
All of this. Every perfect word
Perfectly stated, Don. Ty
Perfectly said, Don.
Kamala too.
We see you, fraud:)
I want to be Fiona Hill when I grow up.
💯%.
#FionaHill is Speaking The Truth…will the US Press Listen?
Or would chasing after #HunterBiden be another Form of their #Birtherism #Benghazi #ButHerEmails
Facts, Matter. An Epitome to Trusted Journalism. Our REPUBLIC & CONSTITUTION, Matter.
Propaganda does Not.
Mitt Romney is the perfect time keeper in that what he says at any given time will be contradicted by what he says exactly twenty-four hours later.
DON…speaking Truth
He’s in some kind of arm wrestle death match with Susan Collins. So limp.
this is why we fight for justice
This dear sweet beautiful girl. I see the pain.
I’m crying too. For altogether different reasons, I was made to feel ugly as a child, so I feel her pain. Sometimes we just have to grow into our beauty potential. What a wonderful mama she has.
huggs!
Seriously, if this good guy wins, I just might have to crank up the volume.
I love him so much. Hoping he wins!!!!
FYI!!
You think they’re big now just wait, just wait until the Oracle, the Chosen One, the Invisible Hand, il capo di tutti capi, arrives.
LOLz!!!!
😂😘

Dr. J. Biden in FL
Tim O’Brien despises trump. After Bloomberg suspended his campaign, Tim stayed level and I knew he’d be in it to win it for Biden. Unlike some of Bernie’s people, I’m sure!
Here’s my contribution to a fun thread.
The West Wing is the best TV show ever… still.
Sorry for the duplicate. Arrgh!
🙂
Love it! Go Joe!!!
Every now & then I wish I lived in California
I got you Dudette. I will represent you here in California. 🙂
Thanks COS! I appreciate you! 😄
I wish I never left CA:)
I wish I could visit .CA and Key West FL … someday *sigh*
Ditto. Both are lovely.
He’d be really mad if he saw this, wouldn’t he?
What size are those diapers? They must hold a lot of _hit! He needs a baby rattle in one of his hands too.
Excellent idea! Shouldn’t be just in Florida
Be brave
Like this:)
I think his arrogance did this
Not MY President. Fixed it
This is DIRE
So lovely.
YUP!!
some really good info….on the website
Looks like more than 15 to me
Dare I dream
🤤😷
I’m crying:) 🙂 🙂

MERCY
😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
If we were in the same restaurant at the moment, Bob, I’d be sending drinks of your choice over to your table after that tweet. Thank you for the laugh and for taking down the likes of Jill Stein!
My pleasure {{{{{{{Jacqueline}}}}}}} 🙂
THIS!!!!!!!!!!
LOL. Good Sunday Morning, TODVille.
You have a way of making me laugh!
🙂
Has Stein been under a rock. We have had an agonizing 3 years. It appears that she is projecting for the person that she is supporting. I wonder how much is Putin paying her this time?
omergawd
When I skip thru quickly and see Dr Jill I think of Dr Jill Biden, not Dr Jill Stein.
Just saws Bernie Sanders commercial on talking about Biden wanting to cut SS/ Medicare etc. What a liar
He is desperate now. I saw David Sirota on Velshi this morning pushing that social security lie. Sanders disparaged Hillary also. I really hope V P Biden can end this before the convention.
Agree ….
Goodnight TOD
Gotta Laugh, but must my lungs hurt in the process…damn right.
must my eyes be filled with tears, well, hell Yeah!
This is golden!
Thanks,.@ewarren, #SNL for this clip.
Good Nite TOD.
Thanks, Doc.
Goodnight, TOD, and all the ships at sea! Spring ahead, fall back!
Girl power.
COWARD.
This is an old ad from a year ago but I think it’s one of his most effective. Please help spread the word.
THERE IT IS:
Just coming here to see if everybody saw it! Yeehaw!
Great piece:
Now THAT was a powerful endorsement. Pretty sure this is going to mean the world to Joe. #Dancing
Booms, for some reason, I think he really wanted this.
I do, too. Can’t tell you how long I’ve been keeping my fingers crossed, also.
Is it too early for CHAMPAGNE????
Hey, it’s not our fault she chose to spread the goodness this early.
^clink
Haw!!
So glad we’re sharing this together right now.
This kinda feels the night PBO made the announcement about killing OBL. Most were asleep, then Chips wandered in!!
Yes! (And luckily I was still awake for the OBL announcement!)
Thank you, meta!
Can’t wait for Monday’s rally!!
You know I’ll be watching! OMG! What a relief each part of the “journey since South Carolina” has been.
This may be a little mean girl of me but methinks Kamala in Michigan to help win is the coup de grace delivered to Saint Bernard. BYE BYE, fraud!!
I love the mean girl in you! We don’t see her often, but when we do, everybody goes, “Whoa.” 🙂
Thought this one in the “relief” category might be something to share:
SWEET!!
More meany: This also makes Eliz look a bit small.
One of the first things I thought of … and, mean girl that I am, I’ve thought that of her a couple of other times. Sometimes just being more than qualified to do a job isn’t the full picture. (I’ll shuddupaboutit now.)
WORD
Haven’t spotted this officially yet, but …
Aw, this makes me tear up. Kamala loved Beau so much.
WAKE UP, EVERYBODY!!!! WE GOT THIS!!!!
I’m so excited I feel like I’ll have to “take a siesta” by noon – Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!
And maybe another mid-
I think they’ve been speaking for a while because he’s been hinting he’d gotten a big endorsement.
Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen…🎶🎶🎶🙏🙏💙💪💙🙏🙏
Good Morning, Beloved TODbots…to wake up 10 mins ago & find this lovely endorsement by Sen K. Harris is a Thrill. Thank you, Kamala Harris!🙇♀️🙌🙌👒💁♀️🤗😍
Thank you, Nerdy Wonka☺☺🤗😍
Thank you, TODville Community.💙❤☺🤗😍❣
Good morning, darlin’!
😘😘
Happy Sunday and blessed Lent, TODVille.
When someone says that Joe Biden makes gaffe, my reply: Joe is gonna be Joe. I know Joe. Joe is for me, and I am with Joe.
Fair game. Morning everyone.
Woke this morning to the news that Kamala Harris endorses Joe Biden:)❤️ My heart is beyond happy!!
Meta’s already been “recommending” champagne!
Well, I think we should take up meta’s ‘recommendation’!!
Champagne Brunch it is!
Excellent!
I LOVE MY CREATIVE TEAM
😂😂😂
Agree. I’m hoping that Senator Harris is busy being a VP though
Oh man:)
He is so sweet.
Good morning everyone!
Have a great day!
I dropped in to join the Obama Diary family that are celebrating Senator Harris’ endorsement of VP Joe.
I am keeping my hopes, wishes and prayers up for this election primary process to be over with the result of a Biden nomination.
I think we should focus on encouraging people to come out and vote so that they do not take anything for granted.
There is a lot of toxicity on the anti-Joe side, this primary needs to end without more damage being done to the potential nominee.
^^ THIS !!
Have read about the Rev’s endorsement of BS that will happen today in MI.
For some reason, I just had a flush back about how that Rev was initially so hostile to PBO.
I am going to leave it at that …
flashback
Only the best
Morning everyone.
Sounds to me like Bernie is grasping.
Enough with the constant ‘establishment’ bashing already. To me you are trying to poison the minds of Americans which means PP winning in Nov.
Give it up Bernie.
Perhaps work with the Biden Administration to adopt some of your ideas -even if it’s only partially and go from there.
That would be the right thing to do, but it won’t ever happen. Cranky curmudgeon
Me too
New post.

Another important endorsement.
