It is a politico source! What's the problem?





HRC Group is awesome!!

2. Even giving you my gentle thoughts on it would get me a hide no doubt.

[Loki]

4. Someone was alerted on

for talking about BS plan to try and switch Hillary's super delegates to his side. I was on that jury and they voted to hide it.
Sorry for the Politico story, but when you use anything else, they say it's so slanted toward her.

6. Well, I hope they used the Abuse Alert.. that's what we were told to do when we get

an unfair hide or alert.. and the Admins will be looking at them.

It's the abusers who are going to get into Trouble.

[Loki]

11. I did.

[BlueCaliDem]

25. GOOD! We need to counter alert-abuse at DU and end it once and for all. eom

[Fla Dem]

10. I think this is the one you are referring to, I too was on the jury.

On Fri Mar 18, 2016, 08:40 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

So now Bernie is going to get Hillary's super delegates to switch to him in states

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Derogatory and offensive comments meant to divide. In direct violation of SKinner's most recent directive.

JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Mar 18, 2016, 08:54 AM, and the Jury voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: We again were told that excessive alerting for posting items which we disagree with would not be tolerated. Get a grip people. You may not like this, but this is the way it's going to be
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Frivolous alert.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Alerter is correct. This one is pure flame bait. The point of this thread wasn't to make the point it claims it is trying to make. It is a vehicle to deliver fighting words
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I will vote to hide because I do not want my jury service privileges to be taken away by making the wrong choice.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Expect a lot of this. Amnesty opened the gates and the quality of the "analysis" here is now rivaling youtube. That said... I don't see a specific TOS violation here... and Skinner's mind is unreadable and hence unknowable.
Leave it. It's above-average for this poster.

3. Bernie has gone all Kurtz in "Heart of Darkness"!!!

It's one thing to have a bunch of worshipful followers treat you like a god.....it's another to believe it yourself.

I predict he gets even weirder as time goes by. I'm guessing his handlers are going to start isolating him. Did you see him get pissed off, stand up, rip off his mic and walk out of that interview this morning???? God doesn't like to be annoyed by the press. Just ask Donald Trump!

[Loki]

5. What interview?

n/t

[Walk away]

13. They showed the clip of it on MSNBC about an hour ago. It was from a channel 12....

it must have been in AZ because that's where he is. They were asking him about Jane and her play date with Sheriff Arpaio. Bernie gave his rehearsed answer and when the interviewer pushed back Bernie went a little whacky. "Interview is over" and the angry exit.

Imagine if Hillary pulled a childish stunt like that. He isn't ready for any office let alone POTUS!!!

[Her Sister]

16. really would like to have seen that

Goodness.

24. Ahead of Phoenix rally, Sanders abruptly ends 12 News interview

http://www.12news.com/news/local/valley/ahead-of-phoenix-rally-sanders-abruptly-ends-12-news-interview/87425186

Video isn't posted yet. Will keep an eye out.

PHOENIX - Sen. Bernie Sanders is returning to Phoenix for another rally on Saturday night, and we sat down with him Thursday. Briefly.

We met up with Sanders before a Thursday speech at the Twin Arrows Casino on the Navajo Nation.

We discussed his wife's recent visit to Tent City, his votes on gun legislation, border issues, and why he's optimistic about his chances in Arizona.

Then the senator abruptly ended the interview, saying our time was up.

The full interview will air this weekend on Sunday Square Off at 8 a.m.

27. Thanks, I hope you plan on a seperate thread with a great subject line and cross post!

It's only the beginning

[Her Sister]

31. what!!!

Just watched! What the heck!

Thanks for posting!

[Hekate]

40. New suit, new haircut, same One Size message, same grumpy temper. Very interesting.

The old guy needs a nap. But he also needs to be challenged more often, because he comes off as pretty rigid when someone challenges him.

JURY: This is a personal opinion in a Group, based on news film footage. YMMV

[livetohike]

9. Didn't see that. However, I thought it would happen much sooner. He has a short

fuse and does not like to be challenged. I never thought he had the temperament to be President.

[pandr32]

28. Me too!

I have watched his face redden and his posture tense up lots of times and thought, "oh-oh!" I have always expected him to erupt. He obviously (to me, anyway) has a Type A Personality Pattern (TABP).

[charlyvi]

34. He would not be able to handle the right.

If they should ever release their full oppo research, smear campaign on him. He'd plotz!

#BernieSanders built his viability on substance-now he's trying to keep himself viable by threatening to steal pledged delegates #ImWithHer

14. Yeah, word is getting out. He can't take the delegates.. they won't give themselves to

to the loser. That's why they're there in the first place.. to ensure the party doesn't send a loser into the GE.

[Walk away]

15. I'm so glad Bernie decide to act like Trump in front of the world....

He is going to end up looking like an fool instead of just a tired old Socialist who likes Post Offices.

[Cha]

19. It's too bad, really.. to piss away one's legacy like that.

[bellicosecello]

33. He is getting horrible advice

I admired Sen. Sanders prior to this ugly primary run. While I dislike his going back on his word not to go negative on Hillary, I felt that he was overall an honorable man. I have to believe that someone high up in his campaign has filled his head with these ridiculous scenarios that have no basis in reality.

I am sure this has to be hard for him. He has gotten a groundswell of support. People chant his name wherever he goes. He is treated like a rock star. I'm sure it's heady stuff, and that is all going to go away soon. But Sen. Sanders has to push away his advisers that are urging him to tarnish his legacy in this way. It had to be hard for Hillary in 2008 to realize that she would fall short of her goal, but she took a breath, stepped aside for the good of the party, and along with Bill, campaigned her heart out for President Obama.

Sen. Sanders has to take a moment to process his disappointment, and then he has to stand up and tell his advisers to bug off. I'm not saying he has to drop out tomorrow, but the more this superdelegates narrative hangs around, the more painful it will be for Sen. Sanders and his supporters as the spring rolls on.

[Cha]

38. Well, I never liked him.. always disingenuouly bashing President Obama and wanting him

primaried in 2012.

I meant the legacy he had for those that barely knew him but thought they did.

[pandr32]

29. What surprises me is how his supporters spin it

Somehow while being a delusional old fool who got carried away with his new-found notoriety, he is a champion of democracy! Ughhhh!

[Walk away]

32. Well, we all know where they are coming from!

[stonecutter357]

8. K&R!

[William769]

17. What a crock of shit.

How long have we been hearing disparaging words about super delegates from the other side? Now they want to make nice. Super delegates are party faithful's. The key word there being party.

[Walk away]

23. This must be Tad's idea. He is the biggest idiot in the world of politics...

and that's a world that includes Donald Trump!

[fleabiscuit]

30. Most are.

Then there are disappointing outliers such as Grayson. IMHO

[Tommy2Tone]

18. So Bernie thinks he is going to the convention and winning a delegate fight?

More over the top crazy ass talk.

[Walk away]

20. My Grandfather was like that towards the end....

he was always coming out of the bathroom thinking he was in Schenectady. He didn't get elected President either!

[Loki]

21. LOL!

Had a few in my family too!

[Tommy2Tone]

35. OMG that is a classic.

I feel bad about laughing since it was your grandfather but other than that..so funny

37. Don't worry, unlike Bernie my Grandfather was a happy man!

His knights get to move diagonally.

36. K&R!

39. Funny how the democratic process gets blocked out on a Democratic website, isn't it?

After super Tuesday, his supporters got desperate. After last Tuesday, HE got desperate, and predictably, his supporters lapped it up.

It.Will.Not.Matter. Think on that Sanders.

[Hekate]

42. It's pretty authoritarian behavior on their part, isn't it?
