His campaign has that part down.

Let’s see him at a debate or CNN town hall.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

It's empty words without action backing it up. nt UniteFightBack Feb 2020 #118

He already has. No one cares. The narrative is too popular. nt redqueen Feb 2020 #93

I guess Mike has had enough of Bernie and his supporters shit, dware Feb 2020 #3

A lot of us have had enough too. redstatebluegirl Feb 2020 #156

Expect the "Bernie can do no wrong" crowd to show up in dware Feb 2020 #4

I was thinking "see, Mike's a meanie" is coming. Amimnoch Feb 2020 #6

If Biden fades, dware Feb 2020 #14

Bloomberg is spot on. showblue22 Feb 2020 #5

The ad mentions the #WarrenIsASnake smear kabelle Feb 2020 #7

I like it, but I hope it's not a shift in approach. Amimnoch Feb 2020 #8

A short extract from the NYT article cited in the Bloomberg ad: Mike 03 Feb 2020 #9

So much for the idea that Mike isn't going negative! DanTex Feb 2020 #11

It isn't "going negative" to point out Sanders supporters going negative. highplainsdem Feb 2020 #13

They want a hostile take over. sheshe2 Feb 2020 #154

As opposed to Bernie and his bros? dware Feb 2020 #15

It looks like he was responding to negativity. showblue22 Feb 2020 #17

LOL. It's an attack ad. Period. DanTex Feb 2020 #19

That is exactly what I have been saying about Bernie all this time. showblue22 Feb 2020 #29

Bernie has never attacked a big portion of the Democratic DanTex Feb 2020 #40

Really? Insinuating the whole party is corrupt doesn't rise to the level of an attack? boston bean Feb 2020 #42

No idea what you are referring to. DanTex Feb 2020 #43

I like and support the party and most of its members. boston bean Feb 2020 #44

I think he has and does showblue22 Feb 2020 #45

Good lord... the righteousness and inerrant of Sanders is becoming a thing of myth. LanternWaste Feb 2020 #97

Umm, I can see why you left off the next word when you quoted my post. DanTex Feb 2020 #98

Really? Hiring Jill Stein supporters to the highest level of his campaign? Beakybird Feb 2020 #126

But justie18 Feb 2020 #32

Large % won't vote for non- Bernie Dem anyway. delisen Feb 2020 #100

More Bernie supporters in 2016 voted for HRC than HRC supporters in 2008 voted for Obama. DanTex Feb 2020 #102

This is 2020. Large % Bernie supporters refuse to vote blue delisen Feb 2020 #107

Uhh, we don't know what will happen in 2020. But ads like this, attacking supporters of candidates, DanTex Feb 2020 #108

That's hard to believe treestar Feb 2020 #137

It's true. Also Bernie did more rallies for HRC than HRC did for Obama. DanTex Feb 2020 #138

Where are these numbers to be found? treestar Feb 2020 #140

But the actual attacks are shown in the ad. R B Garr Feb 2020 #121

The attacks aren't from "Bernie's camp". They are from random people on twitter. DanTex Feb 2020 #122

They are Bernie supporters, so his camp. This isn't the R B Garr Feb 2020 #123

All candidates have rude supporters on twitter. What makes this such a farce DanTex Feb 2020 #124

Rude is a cute term for what they are doing. R B Garr Feb 2020 #127

It's rudeness. That "blacklist" thing actually originated with the DCCC. DanTex Feb 2020 #129

Rudeness is a cute term for what they are doing. The Bloomberg R B Garr Feb 2020 #130

Rudeness is the accurate term for what they are doing. DanTex Feb 2020 #131

No, it's harassment and hostility as in organized R B Garr Feb 2020 #132

It's not organized, it's random people on twitter. It's rudeness. DanTex Feb 2020 #133

It's organized. The most recent attack was on the culinary union in Nevada where current R B Garr Feb 2020 #135

That's a joke. The media loves attacking Bernie for what random people on the internet do. DanTex Feb 2020 #136

Doxxing people isn't a "joke". It's an act of intimidation. Speaking of harassment, Bernie R B Garr Feb 2020 #139

No, it's not, but it had utterly nothing to do with Bernie and his campaign. DanTex Feb 2020 #142

Of course doxxing people is an act of intimidation. Rudeness is when you are impolite. Revealing R B Garr Feb 2020 #143

Yes, it is, but, for the 50th time, it had nothing to do with Bernie or his campaign. DanTex Feb 2020 #144

They were Bernie supporters, which are the subject of this ad R B Garr Feb 2020 #145

Actually nobody knows who they were or whether it even happened. DanTex Feb 2020 #146

Actually, everyone "knows" where this originates. R B Garr Feb 2020 #147

Not true. These are unproven allegations about anonymous internet users. DanTex Feb 2020 #148

It's been 5 years, so we do know what Sanders promotes R B Garr Feb 2020 #149

He has no such history whatsoever. DanTex Feb 2020 #150

The ad is about Bernie's supporters. I realize you are R B Garr Feb 2020 #152

LOL. The ad talks about "energy". Well, that seems solid to me! Please... DanTex Feb 2020 #153

It shows the actual attacks in a rapid fashion, indicating R B Garr Feb 2020 #157

Hmmm sheshe2 Feb 2020 #158

How is this negative? Wasn't there a BS statement last week condemning lapucelle Feb 2020 #20

You really can't figure out how this is negative? DanTex Feb 2020 #21

Calling out toxic factions interfering in campaigns isn't negative. lapucelle Feb 2020 #59

I wondered when Bernie's apologists would show up calguy Feb 2020 #23

That isn't negative. He's pointing out dangerously negative SUPPORTERS of another campaign.... George II Feb 2020 #48

Uhh, yes, it's negative. The fact that he's attacking Bernie's supporters and not the candidate DanTex Feb 2020 #53

He's not attacking ALL of his supporters, just those who are acting vilely toward anyone.... George II Feb 2020 #58

I feel that "deplorable" dynamic sweetloukillbot Feb 2020 #62

That behavior is bullshit and it needs to stop, and there is no defense for it, but: ramen Feb 2020 #37

There is no "but". Either Sanders condemns such behavior, or he has no moral leg to stand on. LongtimeAZDem Feb 2020 #83

Oh, I totally agree, he should definitely condemn it. nt ramen Feb 2020 #113

Is the idea here that we praise one Democrat ramen Feb 2020 #22

The "idea" is to focus our attacks on Trump. honest.abe Feb 2020 #28
