71. I don't think he did say he would vote for her

Tue Mar 2, 2021, 11:01 PM

Mar 2021

he didn't say he wouldn't either but I don't recall him saying he would. That said Manchin deserves the lion's share of the blame here, as I do think Sanders wouldn't have tanked her by himself like Manchin did.

Manchin was not the only one. Sanders started it with his scold and demand for apology. LizBeth Mar 2021 #4

it's not as though the tweets weren't going to come up at the hearing w/o Sanders mentioning them fishwax Mar 2021 #15

Looking over those glasses, and scolding her. Yes, he could have said any number of things to LizBeth Mar 2021 #18

I don't see anything wrong with him addressing the tweets fishwax Mar 2021 #20

Right, he was simply the victim. There was no "two sides of the story" in this scenario, for sure. LizBeth Mar 2021 #23

Yes, I found it offensive once again as I watched that finger wagged at a woman demanding apology. LizBeth Mar 2021 #49

Sanders would have voted for her, because he supports Biden. Manchin would never vote for her. Autumn Mar 2021 #16

I do not know that to be true. Regardless, he started the tone. LizBeth Mar 2021 #19

Regardless, Bernie supports the Democratic agenda that Biden wants. Manchin is kneecapping him. Autumn Mar 2021 #24

Sanders was the very one that kneecapped Tanden. Manchin just kicked her while she was down. LizBeth Mar 2021 #27

So? He still said he would vote for you. You can blame Manchin, who said he wouldn't vote for her. Autumn Mar 2021 #33

So? Ya right LizBeth Mar 2021 #35

"she dropped out". Know who else didn't officially endorse her? Your Democrat, Joe Manchin. Autumn Mar 2021 #164

You are wrong. White House sources said that Bernie said he would vote for her Autumn Mar 2021 #128

It was said after, though not by him publicly dsc Mar 2021 #130

Let it go. You're wrong. Bernie said he would vote for her, he supports Biden's agenda. Manchin Autumn Mar 2021 #133

No I am not wrong dsc Mar 2021 #136

Let me be clear, I blame them both for tanking Tanden's nomination. rogue emissary Mar 2021 #158

Bullshit jcgoldie Mar 2021 #168

+1. It truly amazes me the insistence to vilify Manchin and the exoneration or Sanders. It is what LizBeth Mar 2021 #153

Exactly, they both held Tanden to a level they didn't for many of Donny's nominees. rogue emissary Mar 2021 #159

Why would he vote for her if Manchin and no Republicans would cross over to vote for her? Autumn Mar 2021 #37

Make up your mind. You just posted that he would have voted for her. seaglass Mar 2021 #38

Which part of Manchin said he would not vote for her, Republicans would not cross over to vote for Autumn Mar 2021 #44

He should have announced she was withdrawing her nomination and there would be no vote? Or lied? Autumn Mar 2021 #51
