2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumThe Vatican visit - a truce?
I'm a Hillary supporter. Given the back and forth on this forum about Bernie's trip, how about a truce? I'd wager that Bernie was not being dishonest about the source of the invitation, and on meeting the Pope and such. He was uninformed or misled about the specifics by his crackerjack campaign staffers.
He called Hillary unqualified, likely on the basis of a newspaper headline (another piece of brilliant work by his staff).
He is exhausted, he is 74 years old, and his staff continues to let him down. He and Hillary are looking like they need a week's sleep.
So let it go.
But if his staff misrepresents what actually happens on the Vatican visit, then Bernie should fire the one leading that charge. Because that will do more damage to his 'honest Bern' image, which at this point he cannot afford.

(11,417 posts)Now his people are going to state delegate conventions and are trying to take away wins from Hillary.
They have gotten into Hillary's data base and then want to sue the DNC after
His people are bullying people on line as we post.
Bernie does nothing to call out the people doing this so it is good as getting his approval.
I am sick and tired of this bull shit saint Bernie image they paint while lying about Hillary.
Now they want to say the Pope blesses Bernie's campaign.
This is the most dishonest campaign I can ever remember in my 70 years.
So no let's not have a truce.

(8,760 posts)Hillary's deputy communications director directly said that Bernie was not qualified....
When they asked Hillary about what the DCD said, she implied the same thing without saying it.
Hillary (and Hillary supporters like yourself) didn't criticize the DCD (Hillary's staff) ......
It is called technical deniability.......and calculated on the part of Team Hillary. It is why I don't like Hillary.
