1. Pass that shit to the right, please. nt

[RogueTrooper]

7. it looks like Sanders has moved to Stage 3 of the Kubler--Ross Grievence Model

Stage :3 Bargaining

Although I suspect there will be some anger amongst the bitter-enders and Nevada truthers for a while yet

[MFM008]

2. a privilege granted to the winner

is to assemble their own cabinet.
Unless he is IN it.

[arcane1]

3. So is Jonathan Martin saying this, or someone from the Sanders campaign?

Can't get the video to work at this location.

[Scootaloo]

9. It's 100% Martin

But you see how desperately eager the Hillary fans are to believe absolutely any random lie they can find.

[arcane1]

11. For a guy who "can't win" they sure do lie about him a lot.

Funny, that.

[Fawke Em]

32. Funny, isn't it?

In HillaryWorld, reporters are now inside Team Bernie's heads, but the FBI is nothing more than a right-wing witch-hunting outfit.

Wonder what color the sky is there?

[MohRokTah]

4. That's a crock of shit. Clinton made no such demand over Obama, and she lost by less than 1/3...

of what this whiny baby is losing by.

In fact, if she agreed to this it would be an illegal quid pro quo. There are Illinois governors who went to prison over shit like this.

[zappaman]

5. I heard he wants an office in the white house as well. n/t

[Scootaloo]

6. Jon Martin says "I don't think that's going ot be good enough for him"

Amazing how the random opinion of a panelist on a midday CNN show suddenly becoems the official Bernie stance on DU.

[arcane1]

10. And notice how many trolls immediately ran with it as if it came straight from Bernie's mouth.

"Whatever It Takes!(tm)"

[barrow-wight]

8. This just keeps getting better.

Hubris has a name and it is Bernie Sanders.

[RobertEarl]

33. H stands for Hubris

Bernie stands for President.

There, you have your education for the day.

[MohRokTah]

12. Hold on a second, Sanders ALREADY HAS A SAY!

HE has one of one hundered votes to confirm or deny a nominee.

He gets no more say than any other Senator or else it is an illegal quid pro quo.

I'm shocked he would demand something as illegal as this openly!

[Eric J in MN]

17. Sanders didn't demand that. This is just speculation by reporter Jonathan Martin. NT

NT

[MohRokTah]

20. The way I read it, he is actually looking for that.

That makes sense, too, given the corruption level of Sanders.

[think]

39. "corruption levels of Sanders" Oh really?....

[Eric J in MN]

40. Watch the first minute of Jake Tapper interviewing the reporter

...Jonathan Martin.

[hrmjustin]

13. Nope. Not going to happen.

[RogueTrooper]

22. I certainly hope not too

Even if it is untrue or a gross exaggeration it is bad media for the Sanders' Campaign. Certainly not the narrative they are trying to project in the run up to California.

[aikoaiko]

14. Reporter: Sanders wants a backrub.

[RobertEarl]

35. Better than knifed in the back

Which is what the H camp has been doing. I am ashamed to have to share the same party with some of the H campers. But no matter, Bernie and we will win.

[Eric J in MN]

15. Sanders never said that. That's just mind reading by reporter Jonathan Martin. NT

NT

[arcane1]

16. That won't stop the pro-Clinton trolls from pretending it's real, in this very thread.

"Whatever It Takes!(tm)"

[Bobbie Jo]

18. Pfffffffft.

[lumberjack_jeff]

19. Who does he think he is? The CEO of Goldman-Sachs? n/t

[arcane1]

24. Seriously. You can tell who the idiots are by how easily they fell for this.

Hillary is making them insane

[lumberjack_jeff]

25. "Making them"? I think there's an unresolved causality question there. n/t

[arcane1]

28. The chicken and egg paradox, applied to political sanity n/t

[MoonRiver]

21. F*** Sanders!

Dear Bernie, you get nadda.
Thanks, the Majority of Democrats

[Demsrule86]

23. He is not going to help her

so she should tell him to get lost.

[Cheese Sandwich]

26. Bad headline. I checked the link and Sanders didn't say that.

Don't take my word for it, check yourself.

Of course that won't stop it from being reported as a proven fact on several news outlets.

[arcane1]

27. Exactly. Just another lie that the fools gobble up like candy n/t

[Scootaloo]

30. Even after several people pointing it out. It's in the first ten seconds of video, too

[UMTerp01]

29. Girl please.

I'm all for him having a role in the convention but any talk of him having say over her cabinet picks need to sit all the way the F down!!

[arcane1]

34. So far the "talk" only comes out of one reporter's ass.

[KingFlorez]

31. He's gone over the edge

To think that he can demand to select the cabinet is downright crazy.

[pmorlan1]

36. They Don't Click on Links

They just go with the title of the thread and attack Bernie.

[arcane1]

38. Brock-puppets are chosen based on obedience and credulity, not cleverness :)

[snowy owl]

37. I hope he gets it. His success as mayor was due primarily because of good, honest administrators.

No bankers in charge of money please. They always take it all.
