'I'm dealing with a f---ing global crisis': Bernie Sanders issues a scathing response when asked if he'll suspend his campaign

Sen. Bernie Sanders did not hold back when asked if he would drop out of the 2020 race, saying, "I'm dealing with a f---ing global crisis."

www.yahoo.com

• Sen. Bernie Sanders didn't hold back when he was asked Wednesday about when he would make a final decision on whether to suspend his 2020 presidential campaign.
• "I'm dealing with a f---ing global crisis," Sanders told CNN's Manu Raju.
• "Right now, I'm trying to do my best to make sure that we don't have an economic meltdown and that people don't die. Is that enough for you to keep me busy for today?" he added.
• Sanders lost a series of vital Democratic primaries on Tuesday night to former Vice President Joe Biden, all but eliminating his path to the party's presidential nomination.
• There is more......

Such a nasty question; the press is truly the enemy of the people.

 

[vi edit]

I don't think this is mental facilities. This is simply an unbend-able personality that realizes he's been beaten. You are seeing anger and defeat bubbling up. Not loss of cognition.

I agree, but you have to remember when starting a thread you need a title that will catch the masses...lolol

You jealous because Biden has a loving and caring wife? Or are you jealous because Biden has something that you don`t have......somebody who loves him!!

Look at the Democrats attempts to smear Sen. Sanders just because he's trying to do his job. That will endear his supporters to the DNC and corporate Democrats.

Your take on things is just amazing!! All Sanders had to do was answer YES or NO to a simple question...

It was a typical gotcha question tossed out by corporate lapdog media.

How is it a gotcha question? It is very obvious he should not go on....
No gotcha question found!!

Headline is stupid but asking someone that just got smoked in yet another round of voting if they plan to suspend their campaign is a gotcha question? Okay...

Lol, just from your answer.

"How is it a gotcha question? It is very obvious he should not go on"

gotcha question proved.

I think some people on this forum would be pretty confused by a simple yes or no question so they must label it a "gotcha" question to cover their own stupidity.

It wasn't what was asked, it referenced the Corona virus crisis and asked if he would "suspend" his campaign, not quit it due to performance.

 

[JEDIYoda]

Hardly since wqhen is questioning an idiotic response by you proof it was a gotcha moment! I see BS is ingrained in your DNA!!

 

[sandorski]

The idea that saying Fuck, even if it's due to the stress of the race, is a sign of "losing his mental facilities"(btw, it's Faculties)is stupid.

Just curious....where did you get that from the linked article...or anywhere else, for that matter? Seriously, where'd you see that? That's a wholly different context than what's being reported.

 

[eelw]

Just like Wolf Blitzer trying to get Andrew Cuomo to comment about Trump’s Chinese virus tweet.

 

[Moonbeam]

May I say for the sake of a person who has dedicated his long life to a lonely struggle to wrest control of the government from the tight grip of the 1%:

"Fuck off and die". But there really is no reason to be upset or to imagine that rage will cure anything. We feel that rage at ourselves because we are asleep, already as dead emotionally as our democracy. We are lost and have no idea what we are doing. And whether you are a democrat or a republican, nobody wants to know that. To see that, the you, that persistent delusion of self identity, has to cease to exist, and that self thrives instead as your precious ring.

he is an active senator so ya, he, along with everyone else in congress, is working on this outbreak and probably hasn't put much thought into his campaign in the last couple of days.

just ignore taj, he isn't worth the aggravation or my time. he's a troll.

 

[brycejones]

Well this thread is ridiculous.

Dude's a well known troll. He's completely full of shit. He's always trying to gaslight as he's been taught.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Sanders should have done what every other politician does to get into office. Lie his ass off. To just come right out and talk about taking private healthcare away and completely shutting off entire industries was political suicide. I believe he is probably a decent guy and for sure a good leader. He should have just toned down the message and push for all he could once in.

 

[VRAMdemon]

Well, Bernie. If your concerned about the virus pandemic, it's time to put down the mirror, end your campaign, and get back in the Senate and do some good.

Sanders is a gadfly and in that role he has been valuable in agitating for change, but his ability to work and compromise with even the people who largely agree with him is essentially nil. Nor is he any kind of consensus-builder. His persistence in pursuing the Democratic nomination, instead of using his influence to skew a hypothetical Democratic presidential administration toward a more progressive agenda, he risks throwing any possibility of effective change back to GOP despite everything they have done in the last three years to trip over their own dicks.

Elizabeth Warren was a progressive-leaning candidate in the primary who was often lumped in with Bernie Sanders. Though I think there were some significant policy differences between them, and whom, if Sanders had lent her his support, might have had a fighting chance at pulling both the progressive and center-left wings together to actually accomplish some significant progressive accomplishments while reestablishing some regulation over the large banks and financial institutions and possibly many other things.

Bernie should have looked at Warren last summer and realized she was like him, only better in a whole bunch of ways, and thrown his weight behind her. Too late for that now, but she's back in the Senate, working hard to improve the rescue package. And her campaign people, after she dropped out, phone-banked for Marie Newman, who just sent Dan Lipinski into a well-deserved retirement. Time for Bernie to do the same.

Sanders and Warren were quite different. At least in terms of their history and what that says about their fundamental loyalties/identities.

Sanders has always been a leftist, concerned for the less privileged. Warren is by origin a wealthy centre-right, almost corporate, figure, who greatly to her credit, eventually 'saw the light' and became one of the better kinds of liberal.

Personally, my ideal candidate would have been a peculiar kind of mixture of the two (but quite a lot younger than either!), because I don't entirely feel confidence in, or fully trust, either of them, but in different ways. You touch on the issue with Sanders - his true-believing inflexibility and irascibility - but conversely I wouldn't entirely trust Warren not to backslide when the going gets tough, because, as with all liberals, I don't think her politics comes quite from lifelong experience or essential identity. Wealthy liberals are always at risk of slipping back to thinking in terms of the interests of themselves and their demographic. I find them hard to fully trust, even the best of them.

I think I want something impossible and/or self-contradictory - someone with the core identity and experience that means an identification with the interests of the least privileged comes instinctively to them...but who is also smart and flexible and not destructively ideological (also a sense of humour wouldn't hurt - which Sanders doesn't show a lot of evidence of, to be honest).

But they were sufficiently different from each other that I don't find it at all surprising they both stood, and as wrong as it is (because I'm sure sexism was a big part of it - edit, actually, all of it), Sanders had more appeal to poorer whites in swing states than did Warren, especially among poorer white women.

He probably should call it quits now, though. Building a movement is one thing, but if it comes at the expense of helping Trump get back in...
