However I just read a post that says he never said that.

My vote is with Warren.

not just because I'm a Bernie supporter but that's not how he rolls. And most of Bernie supporter's second choice is Warren, why would she discourage them. Like me, his supporters are not buying this.
As far as I'm concerned I wouldn't be surprised if Trump wasn't behind it somehow. He's been firing shots after Bernie for a few days.
Besides what has Bernie to gain if it's true? Warren supporter would hate him and possibly wouldn't vote for Bernie and if this hurts Bernie his supporters would hate Warren and not vote for her. Trump wins again?

I will leave the rest alone because of that.

Hugs.

I didn't think you would remember me.

If she was saying Biden told her that you’d have no trouble believing it.

after it happened in 2018?

What would she have to gain by doing that?

What would Bernie have to gain by denying it?

Bernie spouts off and it's all about him so I can certainly see him saying that to her to try & make her back off and just support him.
I have never seen Bernie take responsibility for anything negative and he isn't starting now either. Liz has nothing to gain from this & everything to lose so I totally believe her. How could trump be behind this recollection of something that happened a year ago? I don't understand?

But then wouldn't discuss the conversation. Bernie is on record saying a woman can absolutely win the Presidency.

I'm seeing a lot of people turn against Warren over this claiming she's lying.

Regardless, Dems need to stop bickering with each other. It's just going to increase Trump's chances, which are already way higher than they should be.

....specifically, it was about a woman in general.

that a woman will have a harder time against Trump and I agree with that in some respects. But for sure either Bernie or Liz can take Trump out. Liz doesn't tolerate fools and that's Trump, a big old fool.

any woman he had that disagreement with from running if she was less confident or more dependent on his approval than Warren.

If a woman's confident enough to run for president, or any office for that matter, no one can succeed in discouraging her. Does it bother you that she considers him a friend?

Must be pretty disturbing....

This really is getting under your skin.

I have met her, my Senator. She is uplifting and positive.

before she even considered being a politician.

that was a holy sh*t moment for me, like seeing obama speak at the convention in 2004.

i fell in love then and there. i had no idea she would actually become a politician, i just knew i wish she would....

She is a threat now and he can’t handle it.

She is a threat. Sad...

They both think there is still too much mysogny across the board (white, black, Hispanic, working class, middle class).

I don't think it should stop Democrats from picking a woman if she is the best candidate, but Bernie is not alone in having those concerns and I don't see expressing his concerns (in private no less) as being anti-woman anymore than people who might have concerns about Bernie's or Biden's age as being driven by ageism.

The supposed leak is coming from Warren's people, and it was not like Bernie was saying it in a campaign rally.

If anything, this may backfire on Warren and make it an issue.

who think skin colour or one's set of reproductive organs have anything to do with the competency needed to return the USA back to the path of sanity.

Those who believe that are stupid, or just Trolling the rest of us. Or throwing in some distractions. Or all of those.

AND I'm voting for Michelle Obama! Suck on that, haters! lol

Her name : Elizabeth Warren …………. Think of all of the guys he could have urged to run for President in 2015 ? ..Yet he asked a Lady to run for the Highest Office in the Land ...Yet we are supposed to believe Bernie doesn't believe a woman can get elected President ….

...when she would be a direct threat to him.

And he then told her that a woman couldn't win, presumably to influence her to stay out of the race.

One might call that, I don't know … deplorable?

Step out of the way. Playing through.

Before it became clear that enough Americans in enough swing states would choose a racist, bat-shit crazy billionaire with no experience over a highly qualified woman who, according to one of the pundits on MSNBC, men don't like because she "reminds them of their nagging wives." Sadly, Bernie's probably not wrong, as sickening as it is. I believe Elizabeth Warren that he said it, although if it was a private conversation it was inappropriate for her to make it public.

She confirmed a story that was already out there. Not what you are stating.

"Sadly, Bernie's probably not wrong, as sickening as it is. I believe Elizabeth Warren that he said it, although if it was a private conversation it was inappropriate for her to make it public."

My point was that his opinion about whether America is too sexist to elect a woman president might have changed between 2015 and 2018.

I am assuming someone from Warren's campaign must have put this out there, because who else would have been privy to it?

He said it wasn't true and Warren said it is true...not a good look.

But I could be wrong. I knew it was during one of the primaries but couldn't remember which one. I didn't support Hillary in the primaries either time but I remember being appalled by that remark. It's amazing how much blatant sexism there is in the media when covering female candidates. I even thought Sarah Palin was a victim of sexist coverage, much as I don't like her. Why did the media spend over a week talking about the cost of her clothes without ever talking about how much the suits Obama and McCain wore cost?

PS. Elizabeth Warren, my Senator confirms the conversation.

Do you doubt her word?

2018 meeting that a woman can't win, sources say

My point was that he might have encouraged Elizabeth Warren to run in 2015 but become doubtful about whether a woman could win after 2016, when a racist with no experience beat out a highly qualified woman who deserved to win. Of course, I think Bernie himself bears some responsibility for 2016, which is why I can't support him in the primaries again. He should have conceded earlier and done more to counteract the widespread misperception among many of his supporters that he was the rightful winner of the primary and Hillary was only nominated because of the superdelegates.

She won by the millions.

Also read the Mueller report.

I think she was the victim of Russian hacks, a media that was both sexist and trying too hard to appear balanced to both sides at a time when balance for balance's sake was inappropriate, and a highly inappropriate FBI press conference days before the election, but to me stolen means that votes were actually tallied for the wrong candidate, and unlike in 2000 that does not seem to have happened. I also think Hillary made some key mistakes in terms of which states to target. But when I campaigned for her in Pennsylvania the week before the election, I met several people who said they were voting for Jill Stein and who legitimately believed that Bernie had won more votes in the primary and the superdelegates overturned the will of the voters. Even my sister-in-law, who is highly educated and usually well informed, believed that nonsense. Of course, with the people I met I explained that Hillary actually got more votes in the primaries, and I told them I supported Bernie in the primaries too but Hillary won and beating Trump was the most important thing, but I couldn't believe how many people were under misconceptions about that.

total - perhaps even surpassing Obama - of the number of GE votes.

Your friends who thought that the superdelegates were the reason that Hillary won aren't very good at math.

She’s a politician. Lying to get a tactical advantage is the job description.

I also doubt Bernie’s account.

None of it ever happened?

Alrighty then.

Your point would stand if I had said I disbelieve both of them. But I didn’t. I simply did not affirm either statement as true. There is no criterion to decide.

Doubt is not disbelief.

You are welcome to try again.

I will try again.

be a "tactical advantage?"

WTAF?

What is going on inside the beltway....

No matter his supposed surge.

I agree there is something fishy going on and it is not from the Warren campaign.

reincarnation of Jesus and Byron. Both.

I 3 million+ votes. Sanders is full of it.

I love Biden as well. Just for Warren for now.

I will be going for the winner. D always.

Sooooo,

are..

This is what David Sirota is spreading on twitter:

He's repeating misleading truncated quotes of Joe Biden AND circulating a graphic calling Biden "blue trump".

You appear to have too much time on your hands.

I don't get it.

Two posts.

You actually checked their profile for the number of years they have been here. Then looked at the number of posts they have made took out your calculator and calculated that they made posts every 40 minutes for the last 18 years.

Yikes.

However if, say, I calculated and posted it (when people mostly know me) I'd suppose it would seem a lot less random

Esp. considering I can be a pretty random dude.

Not in the league of LuckyCharms or Nikon, but ...

....elsewhere: "he literally visited over 40,000 households" when he ran for Mayor of Burlington way back in the 1970s.

At that time there were less than 35,000 PEOPLE, not households, in Burlington!

So, to quote you, "It that even physically possible?" jest sayin'

two manifestations, two votes - etc.

Mahalo, George.. smh. lol

So difficult for some.

You have almost 27K posts. I am far to lazy to look at your profile, late on EST.

I am calling you out for posting far to many days a week for far to many weeks out of the year. JUST STOP!!!








Luv ya~

not really - I am protected health wise by one of the largest socialistic healthcare systems in the world - the VA.

The funny part is I am posting less than I useta.

really, really needs to give some intelligent reasons.

I'd like to know why a woman couldn't win. After all, Hillary won. And not because, or despite, being female, either.

If Warren is the nominee, we'll lose by 45 states... Back slap, agree, agree, bazinga, ad nauseum. Don't forget the most recent, "A vote for Warren is a vote for Sanders!", campaign. I believe Warren Can win. I am firmly in her corner right now, and unless something weird happens during the last debate, she's my primary choice.

That's pure supposition.

It's also a circular argument.

Female, will produce massive losses. Massive losses because female. Going around in a circle.
Therefore, female = disadvantage.

The reasons why female = disadvantage aren't given.

those claims here daily. If you've been here longer than five minutes, you'll figure out who they are.

She’d make a great President. It’s obvious that Sanders and Warren’s strength is freaking out the MSM. They’ll stir up any controversy, real or made-up, to take them both down.

That is not what I have been reading. They are not talking about Warren.

I know one poster here that speaks of the 45 states we would lose, they aren't talking about Warren. You know they are not. They are talking about Sanders, yet you know that.

"Back slap, agree, agree, bazinga, ad nauseum."

and have to take care of my sister, but I can easily find posts about Warren losing us 45 states and the agreeing comments. I don't want Sanders anywhere near our top tier, and I think he will be out mid primary. We all will vote blue no matter who, but I hate the poisoning of the well that's been going on. The latest crap from the Sanders' surrogates was despicable.

Try to relax and take a deep breath. I have been doing 24/7 mom care for two straight years. It is a killer.

Best to you and your sister.

A woman can most definitely win. That's my 2 cents.

And the same misogyny is once again rearing it’s ugly head.

Now that she's dropping significantly in the polls, she's looking for a VP deal.

You know nothing about my Senator. She accomplished more before she ever ran for her senate seat. She accomplished more, the CFPB long before she became senator.

She is not going to run a second seat. She will go back to be our Senior Senator from MA .

My Senator will not take a second seat. She has far to much in her to do that.

and Tulsi is the darling of the Bernie or Bust crowd.

to me, make Sanders seem like he's getting desperate.

Please explain that one to me.
