Charlotte Clymer Tweet: "Interesting quote from Sen. Sanders in yesterday's NYT."

[George II]

“Pelosi and Schumer have enormously difficult jobs — they really do — and it’s easy to disparage them, to criticize them, but they have no margins with which to deal with,” Mr. Sanders said in an interview. “It’s not a job that I envy, a job that I could do for three minutes.”

1. He is absolutely correct NT

[ColinC]

2. Being in charge of a diverse group of legislators is far more difficult than being president

....I imagine

[George II]

4. Uh, no. How about dealing with a diverse group of 50 states and a diverse group of 190+ countries?

[ColinC]

8. If the president was a legislator in charge of the legislators, I would agree

But they are an executive office in charge of multiple executive offices. Not an easy job. But certainly not herding cats.

3. And there you have it.. What many

here have been saying for awhile now.

Rt TY

5. Not sure what makes this quote "interesting"...

Sanders sounds like a team player to me.

7. I'm sure it will be interesting to some people here, considering source

Although many of us have been saying that for quite some time.

[ColinC]

9. He is one of the loudest advocates and proponents of the president's agenda

[Fiendish Thingy]

10. Yes indeed, Bernie is a team player and Biden agenda cheerleader! Nt

[George II]

12. Check out this site:

Of the 50 Senators in the Democratic Caucus:

35 vote "in line with Biden's position" 100% of the time.
14 others are tied for second.
1 stands alone at 50th.

6. LOL Establishment.

Guess the establishment is okay now.

11. He's becoming more forthright in his advancing years. nt

[Me.]

13. Tell Me Again What Legislation He Has Been Able To Cobble Together All On His Own

Seems a lot of people in this Congress have thoughts of superiority. And I'll be totally honest in saying how annoyed I was when there was talk by some that Jayapal should take over the Speaker's job. Seriously...it took Nancy P. to finally come in. put her foot down and clean up the infighting mess.
