Trying to read about Bernie Sanders on ABC This week

[msrizzo]

His supporters are awfully quiet about it, but right wing rags like Washington Times have plenty to say about it.

Sounds like he is getting pretty good at bashing while pretending not to bash.

[Thinkingabout]

1. A few things here does not make any sense. It appears Bernie already has the endorsement of the

Environmental group Friends of the Earth so saying she is against the Keystone Pipeline is not going to change their endorsement. Another point, the oil is now transported by rail and backing the Keystone pipeline isn't going to change whether the pipeline is ever built. Another point, there has been some incidents with the rail transportation and the results are not environmentally friendly.

This issue will probably be completed before the general election so it is not an issue any of the current DNC candidates will have input except for Bernie. Bernie is not looking forward and he seems to try to rehash the Vietnam War instead of moving forward into the future. This applies to the TPP also, this will not be an issue when the general election occurs.

2. He was pretty good at veiled bashing of Clinton last week on Ed Schultz' last live show...

...Schultz gave him almost 15 minutes at the beginning of the show, and the subject of Clinton's "refusal" to talk about the Keystone pipeline.

3. Yep....
