And rightly so. NOW won't be far behind.

1. That was a horribly condescending remark.I expect many more.nt

[Cha]

2. First of all .. Jim Weaver and Tad Devine are idiots. They can't help themselves.

"Stephanie Schriock, the president of the group Emily’s List, which helps elect female candidates to public office, has seized on joking comments made by Senator Bernie Sanders’s campaign manager about vetting Hillary Rodham Clinton for his vice-presidential nominee.

“Look, she’d make a great vice president,” the campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, said of Mrs. Clinton to John Heilemann of Bloomberg Politics. “We’re willing to give her more credit than Obama did. We’re willing to consider her for vice president. We’ll give her serious consideration. We’ll even interview her.”

"We're willing to give her more credit than Obama did.. ".. We’re willing to consider her for vice president. We’ll give her serious consideration. We’ll even interview her

And, that's President Obama to you buster.

Ignorant, arrogant, condescending blowhards.

Bernie's running against President Obama and Hillary.. I love it!

3. Expect GD:P blow up in 3, 2, 1

[Cha]

4. LIke I just blew up when I read what Jim Weaver said? I rewrote my

reply a couple of times after I calmed down a bit.

Who says crap like that?!

[mcar]

6. Really flat footed Cha

Nothing wrong with challenging a candidate on his/her positions, past votes, etc, but this condescending crap? Who do they think they are attracting with it? No one but the Berniebros and they've already got them.

[Walk away]

14. Maybe Bernie is going to switch and run as a republican!!! nt

[workinclasszero]

7. The berniebros

are not amused, no doubt.

Bernies campaign is starting to fall apart it seems.

[BooScout]

5. Sanders is reaping what he has sowed....

Frankly, Sanders showed his ignorance in hiring Devine in the first place. Devine was a senior advisor to both the Gore and Kerry campaigns and both campaigns were run horribly. Gore allowed Bush to steal the election and Kerry's response to the swiftboat attacks was so pathetic it was embarrassing and cost him the election.

8. Right

Shows an appalling lack of good judgement on Bernie's part.

[Cha]

9. Ha.. bernie's playing innocent..

But Mr. Sanders has tried to distance himself from comments by another aide, his top strategist, Tad Devine, about unleashing deeper attacks against Mrs. Clinton.

In an interview with CNN on Wednesday, Mr. Sanders said he did not know what Mr. Devine was referring to.

11. And don't forget Dukakis campaign.

He worked on that too and we all know how that turned out.

[William769]

10. Kick & recommended.

12. EMILY'S LIST ARE THE REAL SEXISTS!!!!

Yes,I just read that on a sub forum( guess which one). I suppose the NAACP are also the real racists, as they promote the advancement of one race, following this line on thinking too.



The Unhingement....it's coming.

[Walk away]

13. It's official! Bernie and his campaign are using sexist "code" to slur Hillary!

I'm not shocked. Bernie is not a well like person and he seems to have a really nasty attitude. Birds of a feather!

[Thinkingabout]

15. Bernie made his statement and put Hillary's name in also, now he owns it.

[Cha]

16. Exactly, T.

[postatomic]

17. Sexist Snark. WTF??!!

Not the demeanor you'd expect from a Presidential Campaign. I joked about GDP becoming one large snark fest. Now it makes sense.

And it strikes me odd that Senator Sanders claims no knowledge of what Devine said. This being a person that you would probably communicate with more than once a day. Maybe his campaign staff has gone rogue. Maybe they are out right now soliciting the need for a few Super Pacs.

[Cha]

18. It doesn't strike me odd that bernie has no clue about what Tad Devine is up to. It should, I know.

Or maybe he's just playing innocent. What's worse?

[postatomic]

19. A good leader depends on the people around them

But they also know who is responsible for what and any decision to change the direction of the campaign would be something that Senator Sanders would be involved with.

The thing that bugs me? Sanders is first and foremost...... a politician. And he always will be. I understand that about Hillary but that little tidbit gets lost with some Sanders supporters.

[Cha]

21. Precisely.. bernie the politician. And, not a leader.. a leader knows what the team he

hired is up to.

Especially his campaign manager.

20. “Condescending insult!"

Exactly what it was! Glad he got called out! About time!
