Bernie is a good talker but not actually good at doing anything.

(67,782 posts)Its just a lot of baggage that Joe takes into a campaign, which isnt going to create energy and excitement, Sanders told The Washington Post in an interview published Thursday.
He brings into this campaign a record which is so weak that it just cannot create the kind of excitement and energy that is going to be needed to defeat Donald Trump, Sanders continued.

Comparing the two sets of "baggage", Biden has an overnight bag, Sanders has a steamer trunk.
And if Biden's record is "weak", how can we characterize Sanders' record? There simply is NO comparison of the two.

(17,390 posts)...and tax-exempt funds, Bernie wins and no one is close. Is there a single member of Bernie's immediate family who Bernie was not on his campaign/foundation payroll.
For once we agree!

(17,390 posts)Briahna Joy Gray is Bernie's current and former campaign secretary:
https://heavy.com/news/2019/03/briahna-joy-gray-bernie-sanders-press-secretary/
Briahna Joy Gray is Bernie Sanders national press secretary for his 2020 campaign. She was one of 15 new hires announced in mid-March that included 10 women joining Sanders presidential campaign team. Sanders press secretary in 2016 was Symone Sanders (no relation to Bernie Sanders.) Gray is known for being outspoken about her beliefs, including her decision to vote for Jill Stein in 2016 after Sanders didnt get the Democratic nomination.
Yet, she was also outspoken in siding with Trump's attacks that Russian interference is a hoax:

(17,390 posts)Facts, videos, voting records, etc., then there is silence.
It makes me wonder whether it just a gigantic propaganda operation or are their folks who can see Bernie's communication director pushing Trump talking points, and it just does not bother them sort of like an Evangelical Christian being totally down with Trump.

(17,390 posts)Bernie was overtaken by Tulsi, given how openly anti-Democrat she has gone, but Bernie still is the only other candidate who is not addressed negatively. Perhaps this has to do with his votes against the Magnitsky Act or sanctions against Russia for election meddling?

(3,182 posts)...I do...does Bernie's comments make you nervous enough to want to whistle past the graveyard?
" I dont respond to Bernie, Joe Biden says when asked about @BernieSanders hitting the ex-VP on Iraq today. Youre not going to get me into a fight with Bernie. Bernies got enough baggage, Biden says, in a dig about Sanders comments to WaPo yesterday. "
" I dont respond to Bernie, "
" Youre not going to get me into a fight with Bernie. "
...Joe, you are in a fight with Bernie for the nomination...
...what are you afraid of?...

(145,666 posts)sanders is not likely to be the nominee of the party. There are far too many real democrats out there who have good memories. These real democrats will not forgive or forget
I will support the nominee of the party. I just doubt that sanders will be the nominee
