Is CNN trying to sabotage Bernie?

[hislegacy]

Sure seems like it.

During the last debate, when they addressed him being reportedly saying a woman couldn’t be president, they completely ignored his denial and kept asking it like it was fact.

which led to the “Did you just call me a liar on National Tv?” Question.

Thoughts?

It's just like 2016. If Sanders gets the nomination no one over 25 will vote for him. The Democrats can't risk that so they have to eliminate him. That leaves Biden and Warren. No one under 25 will vote for Biden and no one in their right mind will vote for Warren.

Trump is going to win on turnout.

I am over 25 and will be voting for Bernie.

CNN tried to sabotage him in 2016 so it's no surprise that they would do so for 2020. CNN only appears left-leaning because Republicans have moved so far to the extreme right that they are nearly bumping into the wall. (No, not *that* wall.)

DNC behind Joe because they are looking at the rust belt numbers and he is very competitive there. CNN behind Warren.

Once again the musical chairs will find Bernie on the outside. And given Bernie has a large and loyal following among millennials will make the primaries interesting. The way the DNC formulated the distribution of delegates it is conceivable we may not have a clear front runner let alone a clear victor.

I think the DNC has it set that anyone who gets over 15% of the primary vote gets a nice consolation prize. For example if there are 30 delegates and Biden wins the state garnering 30% of the primary vote, Bernie 20% and Warren 15% then the split may go 15-10-5.

I am quite happy too know nothing about US politics. I have enough of a problem with our own.

I was driving to the local bakery after church last Sunday when I pulled into the parking area I saw a man who looked exactly like Boris Johnson with his hand up which I mistakenly took as him waving me on as it was his turn to move out of the parking lot. Instead I find that he was shielding his eyes from the sun and then he made what appeared to be angry hand waves towards me. I mean the looks were identical down to the hairstyle. Wonder if ol' Boris was in Texas on Sunday driving a Prius.

Perhaps it was is brother, who left the house of commons at the election?

I have been watching snooker on TV today and the lady referee looks just like Garfield to me.

Does he have the same crazy hairdo?

There were reports that the Democratic National Committee also tried to sabotage Bernie Sanders...

Yes I believe we found that out via Wikileaks.

The Democratic Party has made sure that newsmen and women who are chosen as moderators for these debates only ask the candidates about the issues the party wants publicized, so CNN is perfect for that role.

Whether it was CNN or the party itself which determined to keep Bernie from seeming too prominent or appealing, though, is hard to tell. It does seem that a decision has been made by some higher-ups to promote Warren, the stealth socialist, because Bernie is too well-known for his ideological orientation.

And nobody in their right mind will vote for Trump. That statement is no more true than any of your's.

In your estimation who is telling the truth? Warren or Sanders?

Since there is no audio of the 2018 conversation between the two, it is impossible, at this time, to say what the facts are. It is quite common for a person to take something out of a conversation which was not intended.

 

[bekkilyn]

Perhaps both are telling the truth. Warren may have heard Bernie say something to the effect that a woman could not win when what Bernie intended to communicate was that in the current climate of racism, sexism, and bigotry in this age of Trump, he didn't think a woman had a good chance of winning, which is not at all the same thing as him saying that he didn't believe a woman could ever be President. Considering that Bernie has supported women, and even encouraged Warren to run in 2016, I have strong doubts that Bernie said anything general in the sense that woman couldn't win anytime ever. It's just that in this current climate of vocal and very visible bigotry under Trump, any minority may have a serious disadvantage, and that even may include Bernie since he's Jewish.
