I just dont believe he would have believed or said what he's accused of.

But for me, Sanders is more convincing.

It's something I think they need to have a discussion about to heal. GO to friends therapy and stare shaking hands again!

simple as that.

in a new perspective.

M'kay. Back then that was not true and this has nothing to do with modern times, issues or anything here.

I'm personally exhausted with digging up ancient clips from before even I could vote to in/validate anything today. It's asinine.

I want the here and now, not bogus crap from way back when.

Sanders campaign sticking up for Cenk!

I can’t say here what I want to about all that.

despite Wolf Blitzer's best effort to stir things up, and both came out unharmed. We should do the same.

I guess if we are going back to statements made over three decades ago, I guess we should also consider Bernie's essay on women fantisizing about rape.

I know that there are many supporters who would accept the idea that it is unfair to hold such out of context sexist statements against a candidate:

No Cleary you didn't and that's fine. You want to distort the truth to fit your narrative it's dishonest but its who you are. You may be thinking to yourself, "how dare I say such a thing"? Again, you didn't read the article before presenting it as evidence cause had you done so you should have noticed that Sanders was choosing to illustrate sexual extremism in otherwise normal people. While the language was graphic it makes the point in context. You chose to ignore the context of the text that it is presented AND THE EXPLANATION GIVEN IN THE ARTICLE YOU SITED! This makes you one of two things. Ignorant or dishonest. I dont care whichever but I know the goal is to make sanders look bad at all cost and it's intellectually dishonest. Debate the issues stop the mud slinging, we are better than that here.

It doesn't matter what he said 30 years ago or what he even believes. He may have asked Warren to run 4 years ago, but that didn't happen and when he did run and did better than he thought, he decided that he really did want to be President. He knew she would be a big problem for him in the 2020 primary if she ran, so this time around he tried to talk her out of it.

This story is sourced and reported out well.

I mean, you could be mad at him for saying it. You could be mad at her for holding onto it until the day before the last debate before Iowa and then dropping the contents of a private conversation with her "friend."

& BS are going for some of the same voters.

I believe EW that he told her that.

This means nothing... things change and we've seen him.

This was about his motives for 2020, not his views on women generally. A woman can be President, just not one who would be in his way.

He has said too much for me to have any doubts about Elizabeth telling the truth. He is terrified of her.

Sanders campaign is dead in the water.

It's 2020 now, not 1988. There are tons of voters who weren't even born when he said that. How is it relevant, compared to what he said very much closer to now?

Given a little time, I can find anyone saying almost anything in the past.

The election is now, not in 1988.

In 1988 George H. W. Bush defeated Michael Dukakis. Here's what the electoral map looked like that year. It's irrelevant.

He certainly wasn't saying anything complimentary about the Democratic party in 1988, either.

And he has been known to change his mind about things:

April 15, 2015

“I am one of the exceptions," he said. "I am not going to start a super PAC. I’m not going to go around the country talking to millionaires. Now I'm saving my time because they wouldn't give me any money anyhow and that's fine."

October 14, 2015

Mr. Sanders was cheered at a fancy campaign fund-raiser at the Hollywood home of Syd Leibovitch, a high-end real estate agent, and his wife, Linda, on Wednesday night.

Tickets for the event sold for a minimum of $250. Those who spent the maximum, $2,700, or who raised $10,000, were invited to a “pre-event reception,” according to the invitation.

The 14 co-hosts included Cindy Asner, the former wife of the actor Ed Asner, the actress Mimi Kennedy, and Benjamin W. Decker, whose website notes that he was once called the “legendary Hollywood P.R. maven” by Forbes magazine, and used to produce “celebrity-driven red-carpet movie premieres.”
...........................................
It was the ninth such event of his campaign, his aides said, according to the pool report.
................................

As Mr. Sanders began speaking to the guests, he joked that the Leibovitch house was a “proletariat” home, and told them, “The truth is there are many people in this country who have money but also believe in social justice.”

And he has been known to misremember what he has said or done, even when told that he was mistaken:
