New York Times on Bernie Sanders: “What an ugly way to end a campaign”

[Alfresco]

http://www.dailynewsbin.com/news/new-york-times-on-bernie-sanders-what-an-ugly-way-to-end-a-campaign/24358/

As the Bernie Sanders campaign continues to fall behind by hundreds of delegates and millions of votes, it becomes more clear by the day – to anyone who understands and cares how math works – that he’s already lost the democratic primary race to Hillary Clinton. As Sanders gets more desperate, his tone gets darker and more bitter in a manner which suggests he knows it’s over and merely wants to cause trouble on his way out the door. Today the New York Times is calling him out for the “ugly” manner in which he’s making his exit.

15. 218 delegate gap. nt

[Fozzledick]

36. I thought it was 300. What happened?

[msanthrope]

37. I don't think I counted superdelegates. Nt

[Fozzledick]

40. Nah, that's not it. The gap has definitely been shrinking.

What happens if that trend continues?

[LexVegas]

3. Sanders has become a bitter liar. nt

[CorkySt.Clair]

10. Has become?

He always was.

And a back seat driver, too.

[LexVegas]

13. i think he has always been a liar, but not quite so bitter as he has been over the past week. nt

5. another "math" essay

For a race that is still very much in play.

[nichomachus]

6. Political news brought to you by the same people who brought you the Iraq invasion.

Sorry, NYT, you blew all your credibility in 2003. And now you're making it worse.

[WhiteTara]

18. Just this morning I read that the NYT

was the good paper and NYDN was the bad paper by some Bernie folks. Good when it's to an advantage and bad when it's not?

[nichomachus]

19. Neither is the "good paper"

Both are owned and operated by corporatists. You may agree with something they say one one day and disagree the next. But in the end, the support the corporatocracy.

[Cali_Democrat]

31. So what's a good paper? nt

[amborin]

7. Totally false! NY Times does NOT say this....link is NOT NY Times

and the NY Times did not write this.....it goes to a previously debunked post by paul krugman

[ViseGrip]

11. IT's the type of campaign she is running. Awful.

[MADem]

17. Follow the links.

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/04/us/politics/bernie-sanders-hillary-clinton.html?smid=tw-share

[amborin]

21. Nope, this is an earlier article; the OP links to a debunked

post by krugman

[MADem]

23. Whaddaya mean "Nope?" The newsbin article links to the Krugman article that links to the

"It's all over but the crying" article.

There's no "nope" there. The links are the links.

You can ignore them if you'd like, I don't care. Doesn't change the fact that one links to the next.

[dana_b]

8. oh b.s. and

Daily News Bin?? Ew.

[Fawke Em]

9. Psst... NY Times... no one's desparate over a 218 delegate gap.

[Nanjeanne]

14. Ummm - this is the Daily DustBin - not the NY Times. . .

and they are quoting Paul Krugman, Clinton surrogate - so all in all . . . who cares?

[MADem]

16. Post-Mortem....

20. Shadows of Smears Past

The Times has a sort of pre-mortem in which people associated with the Sanders campaign wonder if they might have pulled it off if they’d made personal attacks on Hillary Clinton earlier. I’d say, probably not.

As I see it, the Sanders phenomenon always depended on leaving the personal attacks implicit. Sanders supporters have, to a much greater extent than generally acknowledged, been motivated by the perception that Clinton is dishonest, which comes — whether they know it or not — not from her actual behavior but from decades of right-wing smears; but Sanders himself got to play the issue-oriented purist, in effect taking a free ride on other peoples’ character defamation. There was plenty of nastiness from Sanders supporters, but the candidate himself seemed to stay above the fray.

22. Weaver has very little to be proud of lately. He's demolished the Sanders campaign n/t

[MADem]

24. Weaver took his cues from Lee Atwater and Karl Rove.

Our people recoil instinctively from that kind of thing.

[Sheepshank]

25. there's a stench of Cheney in the pupeteering side of all of this too. n/t

[Politicalboi]

26. Yeah Right

FU NY Times. How much did Hillary pay to run that story? People should cancel their subscriptions to the NY Times. Any paper that can support the Queen of Wall Street is garbage.

[bjo59]

27. Daily News Bin. Enough said.

except.... yes, Paul Krugman writes for the New York Times and, yes, Paul Krugman is an Clinton supporter. (I'd take this more seriously if the link went directly to whatever it is that Krugman wrote.)

[Fuddnik]

29. Clinton campaign sure is getting desperate.

Gotta keep rehashing the same nonsense, day after day, after day.

Bernie will take NY and PA by double digits....again.

The only bin around here is the dustbin of history, where Hillary is headed.

[Jitter65]

30. Back under the bus, NY Times. You just got out from under two days ago.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

32. The Daily Newsbin. LOL

[Trust Buster]

33. Sanders is just showing his true colors. He doesn't give a lick about the Democratic Party and

he's willing to do as much damage as possible to satiate his over-inflated ego.

[seabeyond]

34. Bitter. Bitter, bitter. Well said. Nt

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

35. EEEK!! Bernie's a "TROUBLEMAKER"!! He should be arrested for being a TROUBLEMAKER!

Like he was before.

[restorefreedom]

38. i completely agree.

after all her years of public service, what a shame for hillary to end her career this way

[oldandhappy]

39. a lot of fake journalism in NYC

[Jarqui]

41. I think the title is misleading

First of all, it's Krugman, not exclusuvely NYT, who has effectively been a shill for Hillary
http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/04/04/shadows-of-smears-past/?_r=0

Krugman is disturbed with Bernie calling Hillary out for her money connections

"So now, in a last desperate attempt to beat the arithmetic, the Sanders campaign is turning the implicit character attack explicit, and doing so on the weakest possible ground. Clinton, who has said that coal is on its way out, is a tool of the fossil-fuel industry because some people who work in that industry gave her money? "

and then, that's somehow
"What a way to end a campaign?"

Hillary Clinton’s Biggest Campaign Bundlers Are Fossil Fuel Lobbyists

[JBoy]

43. Lol. N/t

[Bluenorthwest]

44. Your link it not to the NY Times. Why do you make this false claim?

This is a big problem. All this mendacity.

[mhatrw]

45. LOL. We've only just begun

to fight back.
