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

He has not endorsed her officially or privately. Come to think of it a lot of other Dems didn't endorse Tanden. Officially. What Manchin has said PUBLICLY is that he would not vote for her. Now that's leadership by the guy who unofficially controls the Democratic party by holding a party switch over their heads.

The guy you are giving a pass to so you can pound on Bernie.

Manchin was not the only one. Sanders started it with his scold and demand for apology.	LizBeth	Mar 2021	#4
Manchin lead the charge on the dem side	jorgevlorgan	Mar 2021	#7
Sanders started the charge on the Dems side at the committee hearing.	LizBeth	Mar 2021	#9

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
he wasn't the one intervjewing for a job	fishwax	Mar 2021	#48
Yes, I found it offensive once again as I watched that finger wagged at a woman demanding apology.	LizBeth	Mar 2021	#49
Brava! We know whaat happened..	Cha	Mar 2021	#85
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

Do you mean the game where you can't quote him or his staff saying he'd vote for her?	rogue emissary	Mar 2021	#151
No	jcgoldie	Mar 2021	#152
Let me be clear, I blame them both for tanking Tanden's nomination.	rogue emissary	Mar 2021	#158
"people were lying"	jcgoldie	Mar 2021	#160
Yes, that includes their trash article which is more click bait than an article.	rogue emissary	Mar 2021	#162
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
Whats petty	jcgoldie	Mar 2021	#167
No one in the thread absolved Manchin's role except the people that want to wipe out Sanders role.	LizBeth	Mar 2021	#170
I posted that link. But Bernie never said it PUBLICLY.	Autumn	Mar 2021	#144
Kind of ironic the "real democrat" Manchin harpooned her nomination.	Hassin Bin Sober	Mar 2021	#42

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
