He said, in regards to Hillary Clinton's primary wins:
Winning South Carolina is like "winning Guam"!
This is what people mean by saying that they have blind spots in regards to a lot of issues. This is yet another example of that!

Very dumb thing to say.

(26,188 posts)He is agreeing with and RTing tweets from supporters saying people calling him on what he said are "playing the race card."
That isn't any dog whistle, it's shouting it through a bullhorn.

(9,494 posts)I'd like to personally thank them both for opening their pie holes and making Bernie look really bad! I think Sarandon has lost, and will lose, many more votes than Tim has but...he's just started!

(24,135 posts)Sanders has no self control - they're just following his lead in the art of smear.
Stand and Fight
(7,480 posts)So much for a positive campaign. Now he condones insulting Hillary's supporters as well. Does he not realize if he were to somehow win the nomination, he'll need our support? Many Hillary supporters at the conventions are starting to resent his tone.

(298,087 posts)Instead of trying to win us over they insult and ruin any chances of getting more votes. they're happy to get hoisted on their own petards.
They don't even know how to be nice.. they have zero class. Tim Robbins just called his Shawshank co-star, Morgan Freeman, a "sheep".. how do you think Freeman feels about that?

(2,897 posts)There is another Sander's surrogate taking potshots at those that don't vote for him. As a black voter, it offends me to no end that the Sander's campaign has been systematic in their attempt to disregard our say in the presidential nomination. How can you argue that every state should vote as a reason for you to stay in and blitz the inevitable nominee when you're willing to disregard black voters and southern states. I hope folks in NY, MD, and DE take notice and I really hope he tries to pull this during the debate or that the moderators ask him about them.

Stand and Fight
(7,480 posts)Reminds me of when I found out Gary Sinise is a Republican. Only not as bad as this.
James Woods -- that was worst. What a let down since I liked him in some of his roles. Specifically 1995's Nixon by Oliver Stone when he played Nixon aide, HR Haldeman. It fit his personality and style well.

(1,630 posts)Way to condescend to people in both places simultaneously.
Right Tim, SC and Guam are exactly the same. Trying to think of why.
The good news is, Guam is now trending. The bad news is that it no longer looks good for Bernie.
The movie Bull Durham is now officially ruined!

(7,480 posts)Guam no longer looking good for Bernie, means it's looking GREAT for Hillary.

Who would say an idiot thing like.. "winning South Carolina is like winning Guam?!
He freaking wishes.. I hope it's Trending!
Mahalo, Haveadream.. so glad Hillary's surrogates don't go around saying stupid, insulting stuff like this.

Stand and Fight
(7,480 posts)You'd think he'd say, "Look. Take it easy. I don't want any YUGE headlines!" Then, of course, he'd launch into his stump speech!

With supporters like them, Bernie doesn't need detractors.
Go, Hillary!

(4,035 posts)The unincorporated territories like Guam are disenfranchised in federal elections. These primaries and caucuses are the ONLY way citizens in these territories have a say in who will be their President. To imply that they are unimportant is therefore a double insult. it reeks of white privilege, and it shames the person saying it, and the person in whose support he is saying it.

(14,931 posts)As for anyone harmed or offended, Susan has already expressed their attitude: "Fuck them!"
She lives in a bubble, and for all their progressive branding, she and her ex might as well have said "Let them eat cake."
