If the email story is so important and such a terrible crime, surely Bernie

[randys1]

is going to talk about it now and everyday, right?


Remember, Bernie doesnt say shit just to say it or go negative.

If the email story is a truly important story for anybody other than rightwingers who hate Hillary, we will hear him talk about it.

I am betting he doesnt, not very much anyway.

[NCTraveler]

1. Sanders is a democrat. Nt

[randome]

55. Only for today.

[hr][font color="blue"][center]You should never stop having childhood dreams.[/center][/font][hr]

[jfern]

2. Lots of non right wingers are talking about this, just not Bernie

He figures the FBI can handle their investigation without his input.

[randys1]

4. Nope, if this is so important that we cant trust HIllary, Bernie is irresponsible if he DOESNT

talk about this and talk about it a lot.

I say he wont because he knows this is a rightwing hit piece story.

[jfern]

5. Bernie prefers to just talk about the issues

He's not going to talk about everything that can be used against Hillary.

[randys1]

8. WRONG, if this means she is terribly untrustworthy and irresponsible, he MUST talk about it

but he wont, because it isnt any of those things

this is where i say

game
set
match

[jfern]

14. Bernie is running an issues oriented campaign, so he's not going to follow your advicve

[randys1]

18. WRONG AGAIN, if she is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO irresponsible because of this ONE

issue, he MUST talk about it, it is his DUTY

I mean the implications is she is terrible and untrustworthy and all that...





Give it up, you lost this argument and you know it. all of you have.

mic drop

[jfern]

23. LOL, that's just not Bernie's style

[randys1]

25. How many times do I have to tell you this has nothing to do with his style

Either she is a dreadfully irresponsible person, bordering on being a criminal, or she isnt

[jfern]

27. As Bernie said, that's up to the FBI to determine

[randys1]

29. But how can he ignore what a horrible person and leader this makes her, how???

Just admit it, this is a rightwing story.

The authorities will release a report, nothing will be done legally against Hillary, and people who push the agenda are doing so for an obvious reason.

[jfern]

33. If it was just a right-wing story, Obama's FBI wouldn't have 100 agents working fulltime

on this

[randys1]

36. You are confusing the issues, are you doing it on purpose or are you unaware

of the difference?

[jfern]

40. What issues?

[jberryhill]

30. That's for the voters to decide

You can't keep repeating yourself, but it is obvious that you simply can't wrap your head around the way Sanders wants to communicate.

[randys1]

32. THAT IS MY POINT, if the email issue meant HIllary was a terrible leader,

untrustworthy, he would have the duty to say so.

But he wont, because he knows the email story started with Benghazi and is PURELY a rightwing story

I have way more respect for Bernie than some

[jberryhill]

52. He has no such "duty"

[winter is coming]

62. If anything, his "duty" is to stay the hell out of it and let the FBI do their job. n/t

[Snotcicles]

19. He already spoke about it he said let the FBI do it's job. Very smart and honorable comment. nt

[randys1]

21. And today the implication around here is she must be a dummy or a criminal

or fill in the blank, if she is any of those things, it is his DUTY to discuss it.

[Health Wagon]

12. Here's the problem. Bernie is not a dramatic person for stupid things.

that he did not create or invent. It is all on no-one but Clinton. It was found in her private e-mail server in the private bathroom in the Clinton house.

[questionseverything]

44. we the democrats usually do not have candidates with ongoing fbi investigations

it is not bernie's place to interfere

but if somehow hc manages to win the nomination, dems are screwed in the general

while repub candidates can get re elected even after being caught with prostitutes (diaper boy vitter)...democrats can not have even the appearance of illegal activity

that is just how it is

[cali]

3. Very few people here are calling it a terrible crime

As for importance, that depends.

[randys1]

6. Or that this means she is so irresponsible, surely if that is the case Bernie will talk about it

and talk about it often?

[cali]

9. I'm sorry but this is egregiously silly gotcha crap.

[randys1]

13. Jesus fucking christ, you cant have it both god damn WAYS

[Snotcicles]

24. Maybe you should seek some help. You are starting to sound unhinged nt

[randys1]

26. RIGHT STRAIGHT out of a playbook...wow...

[Snotcicles]

31. Don't cry. nt

[randys1]

34. Dont worry, your comment puts you in a very special category around here

[Snotcicles]

38. The mighty Snotcicles Ain't all that fucking worried about it. Got it? nt

[Health Wagon]

16. You want the flair of the drama,

go watch Young and the Restless or some soap opera. Politics aren't meant to be dramatic.

And yet...

[karynnj]

7. No - it's not in his interest to do so

Others - ie the media will talk about it and the HRC team is spinning. The best plan for Bernie is to keep his head down and keep to his message. If this is going to catch ... catch it will. If not, he will not irritate Democrats he might need.

[randys1]

10. wRONG if she is SOOOOOOOOOOO irresponsible and GOD DAMN untrustworthy

then he MUST talk about it

[karynnj]

58. so you could then complain that he is being mean to HRC

No way. Others can and will bring this up and she is setting up a fight demanding the be released anyway

[awake]

11. This has nothing to do with Bernie

This is all about Hillary and her actions she did this to herself and I for one do not want to risk the White House on the chance that this will get worse

[reformist2]

15. The truth is, we really don't know where that story is going. It could be very bad for Hillary.

[angrychair]

17. Randys1

Its time to move on:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511090122

[randys1]

22. Ahh, I see, drop a bunch of shit on Hillary and when the conversation gets complicated, move on

I see now how it works

[angrychair]

28. No

What does this all mean? It means I am tired. Tired of the time, money and political capital being wasted to enrich a single family with so much influence and money. Tired of wondering and debating their guilt and innocence every couple of months. At the end of the day, it's not about them. Its about me. Its about us. Its time to move on.

[winter is coming]

20. If he says much about it, people will be saying OMG, BERNIE'S EXPLOITING THE SITUATION!!!!

If he says little, people will say, "Hey, Bernie's not saying much, so there's no there there."

In reality, Bernie's opinion of the situation has no effect on what the FBI and Justice Department will do, so he'll likely say it's not appropriate for him to inject himself into the situation. That doesn't mean, however, that Bernie supporters are obligated to remain silent on the sidelines while someone else is catapulting the propaganda that there's nothing to see here, move along.

[Bluenorthwest]

35. Why should he talk about it much? He's got a campaign to run and voters to win.

Others will certainly be talking about it, you are talking about it.

[randys1]

39. Are you kidding? Someone who wants to be president has to comment on his

opponent who is so drastically unqualified that she had some emails on a server.

Hey, keep pretending, all of you, that you dont get my point, fine.

Either the email issue is a very serious issue that disqualifies Hillary or it isnt.

If it is Bernie MUST talk about it.

[Bluenorthwest]

51. He has to because you sputter emphatically that he must? You need to stop being surly. You have no

point, you want Bernie to make a big deal of this because you want Bernie to lose the election. There is no reason for him to talk about this at all, there is no gain for him, plenty of risk and he's a US Senator and not Aamon Bundy so he has faith in the FBI's process.

Perhaps you don't recognize politics that does not function like a gossip magazine. Attacking your rival is really for people who don't have much to say about themselves.

[asuhornets]

59. I'm with ya

[aikoaiko]

37. I think Bernie is content to leave the evaluation of wrongdoing to the FBI or other authorities

[Fumesucker]

41. Have you ever watched a cat have to dump on a tile floor?

They go nuts trying to cover it up.

[randys1]

43. So you agree that what Hillary did was SOOOOOOOOOOOO bad it is a pile of shit

that has to be covered up?

Good, then I will look forward to Bernie talking about it NON STOP as ANY other candidate would do

but he wont because unlike some around here, he knows it is all bullshit and not important

one reason I like him so much

[Fumesucker]

47. That wasn't the meaning I was thinking of, no

I was pondering the way people act on forums.

[jberryhill]

61. That's quite an image

Must drive em nuts

[askew]

42. This has nothing to do with Bernie. This is mess 100% of Hillary's own making.

Bernie is smart enough to stay out of it and let Hillary get caught in her own deceitful web.

[CharlotteVale]

56. +1

[SheenaR]

45. If the Union, AARP, LCV story yesterday

was such a catastrophe for Camp Clinton, be thankful he is not going to attack on this illegal and irresponsible behavior.

[randys1]

46. Oh, so it is illegal and irresponsible. Then you better call his campaign and tell him it is

his duty to protect us from her.


When will the blatant attacks, using rightwing talking points, be stopped around here?

anybody?

[Fumesucker]

50. Keep scratching, there's dirt here somewhere

[riversedge]

48. Bernie already told the world his thoughts on the emails. He is consistant

is he not--well we keep hearing that anyway.

[randys1]

49. He is, but not many around here. I trust him NOT to use the GOP made story against

her.

It will be used against her here, as it has been, all day everyday

[riversedge]

57. Thank you.

[arcane1]

53. This is a made-up, fictitious standard whose sole purpose is to set him up to fail it.

Let's stick with the real world.

[Nanjeanne]

54. I think he will let it play out

On its own. If it's a big story it will be a big story. He doesn't have to force it himself. Not his style.

[Autumn]

60. If the story about these classifies emails are GOP driven and no big deal why didn't the Obama

administration blow the FBI's findings off? Bernie doesn't need to talk about it. The media, the FBI and the GOP will do that.
