And I want to have a three-way with Scarlett Johansson and Sofia Vergara, but ain't life a bitch.

Could this guy be more of a sore loser?

So Malloy and Frank are inappropriate for their positions, but Cornell West is A-OK.  Got it, Bernie.

[Holmes]

Who's advising him? I don't understand the logistics here. He got more people on the rules committee than he originally was going to get and he was going to go into these platform negotiations with enough leverage to get some of his pet causes into the platform, but now he's just berning it all down. I dunno. I don't understand him. It looks to me like it's not about the platform and progressive causes, but rather it's all about him.

I mean, Barney Frank has been quite an attack dog. Don't know about Malloy, though.

This was my thought: I can understand wanting Frank off, as Frank has not been a friend of Bernie and in fact has been publically critical, but Malloy has been a strongly progressive Governor of Connecticut, and this just strikes me as cannibalism.

They also have actual accomplishments to show as public servants, not just sermonizing and finger-wagging about Wall Street and the 1%.

I know, right? How can West be allowed and not Frank/Malloy? West is no angel and arguably one of the most obvious people to disrupt the proceedings out of some sort of ideological purity. This works both ways - Sanders and his campaign are being hypocrites here. If he wants them gone, he should throw some of his agitators under the bus, too.

And where does this end? He already has gotten more than typical losers tend to get, and is likely to get more concessions before all is said and done. This entitlement disease his campaign is infected with is unreal.

[Maxwell]

I've never seen a losing campaign demand this much.

Malloy attacked Bernie's NRA connections so Bernie threw a hissy fit. Bernie never liked Barney because Barney was a better liberal. Just childish crap from Bernie's campaign

Bernie is becoming far removed from reality. And people are voting for him for President?

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Look, Sanders got plenty of unfair attacks due to him representing his state well. Sanders was hit by Clinton hacks unfairly multiple times through this campaign.
That does not excuse him here. He needs to be the adult in the room, but he is lowering himself instead.
What a sad day for Bernie Sanders.

And what a good day for everyone else to see how far removed from reality he really is. But then, the young ones who are wild about him are also a bit removed from reality as well if they believe Bernie could implement his wish list as President. Congress would block his every move.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Barney Frank responds to Sanders asking his removal.
And as expected it's a beauty.

[This account no longer in use.]

I'd argue that it would have been better for Clinton if Frank hadn't made a statement. The whole reason Sanders wants him removed is because he's been an attack dog. So why the hell would he respond by being even more of an attack dog?

[Joe Republic]

He's objectively correct, though.

[Ebsy]

Barney Frank didn't actually say that, though it has been making its rounds on reddit and facebook.

[This account no longer in use.]

I see. In that case, who did?

[Shameless Lefty Hack]

Gosh, next he'll be asking to be Secretary of State!

Or wait, he actually wants to change the party instead of securing a personal appointment.

Yeah, this guy's so damned selfish.


(also, not many losing campaigns go in with 45% of pledged delegates)

Oh, I see.

if by "correct", you mean "incorrect", sure.
