Sanders targets Biden in new video hours before debate......😎🎨



Sanders appeared to broadcast his points of attack against Biden as the two compete at the top of most national and early state polls, continuing a weeks-long back-and-forth between the two 2020 front-runners that has focused largely on foreign policy.

The video features Sanders speechwriter David Sirota highlighting Sanders’s attacks on Biden for voting for the Iraq War while he was in the Senate, a criticism the campaign has heavily promoted following increased turmoil in Iran and the broader Middle East.

“Joe Biden voted and helped lead the effort for the war in Iraq, the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in the modern history of this country,” Sanders says in a CNN clip replayed in the video.

Biden “not only helped Republicans pass the Iraq War resolution; he led the fight to help Republicans vote down Democratic amendments to limit that resolution,” Sirota adds.

The video goes on to slam Biden over his support for the “disastrous” North American Free Trade Agreement, which has been a top target for President Trump and progressives alike. The video also bashes the former vice president’s past efforts to cut government spending for Social Security and support for a bankruptcy bill that, Sanders said, “caused enormous financial problems for working families.”

Sanders and Biden are expected to tangle further at Tuesday night’s primary debate in Iowa as polls for the Hawkeye State, which holds the nation’s first nominating contest on Feb. 3, show them locked in a tight battle for the race’s lead along with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg.

Biden and Sanders increasingly began to feud after this month’s killing of Qassem Soleimani, Iran’s top general. Biden maintained that he was best fit to guide American foreign policy because of his years serving on the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee and as vice president, leading Sanders to pounce on controversial calls such as Biden's Iraq War vote.




Unreal, are you little jealous because he has whole lot more experience then you...such hate you have ..my option,,

based on their respective records. If Joe is proud of his vote leading to the Iraq War, then let him sing his own praises... yet, he is strangely quiet. Why?


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!
Either way, they're stronger together & can't be bought!!
Jump on the Bernie Bandwagon & join the revolution!!

vote and Afghanistan...as for NAFTA...Joe has seen it as a misstep for a long time...and not voted for other trade shit...union knows Biden's heart...and Sander is trying to end their hard won gold standard insurance which I am sure he will mention...Warren has signed on to Trump's NAFTA plan...so not a good look for either of them...and look what happened to those candidates who have attacked Biden.

Because we are in dire need of experience, a known reputation, ongoing connection with and interest in a global foreign policy, and someone who will calm and reunite us with our unsettled allies.

And if he’s got those he’d better run the up the flagpole right now.

from Bernie.

Spend the 3 days directly before the debate making every other candidate mad at you, while specifically showing them how you plan to attack them at the debate.

I'm betting he's going to take a lot more than he gives tonight.
