gracious and intelligent. Consistent and authentic. Honest. That is why he drew the incredible support. People can tell. I have followed him for years. I didn't know what to expect when he ran for Prez and he earned my respect and admiration even more.

He no doubt knew he was being used or manipulated in the call. He no doubt saw through it. Bernie does not play politics. He is above it.

Highlight:

Donna Brazile called the Vermont Senator w/her "findings" but he was lowkey [View all] Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 OP

This was at the time. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #1

Not correcting her? Magnanimous? (nt) ehrnst Nov 2017 #47

LOL! I know! Since she was mistaken in her conclusions she took it that way @ d time. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #48

Her description of his reaction struck me as odd GusBob Nov 2017 #2

Sounds like she was surprised too and thought he was being magnanimous which she did not expect Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #4

I hope she kept those candles, she's gonna need them !!! OnDoutside Nov 2017 #10

I knew this back in 2015, the people who wrote and published Hortensis Nov 2017 #20

I'm sorry but no GusBob Nov 2017 #15

I feel more magnanimous myself about her than others here. JMO. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #18

Perhaps "Gospel Music" is used as a literary device, akin to "Believe Me" or "Would I lie?" TheBlackAdder Nov 2017 #56

He had probably already read the agreements. NCTraveler Nov 2017 #3

Should have relayed to her. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #5

Maybe he did. He sure didn't jump on the bandwagon yesterday, even when Trump tried to emulatorloo Nov 2017 #9

But Our Revolution did with a mailer asking for donations over the whole "rigged" mess. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #11

Egg on their faces now, right? emulatorloo Nov 2017 #14

No. It'll make money and most people will never hear that the whole thing is a farce. Squinch Nov 2017 #73

Yes, within the hour. ehrnst Nov 2017 #58

Howard Dean should know NastyRiffraff Nov 2017 #31

We dont know the facts of the call. NCTraveler Nov 2017 #22

Exactly! Phoenix61 Nov 2017 #7

but instead he was lowkey and not interested. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #13

But he sure as hell isn't speaking up when someone else is being vilified! KitSileya Nov 2017 #44

He attacked trump for trying to divide the party. He focused on health care, climate change and tax mucifer Nov 2017 #52

Bernie showing, once again, he's a class act... InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2017 #67

+1000. ehrnst Nov 2017 #60

Speak up? You mean like others did when DB gave them CNN debate questions in advance? InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2017 #68

Isn't it clear to everyone that Donna Brazile did that to set Hillary up? KitSileya Nov 2017 #75

He signed an agreement with the DNC, too, so he knew this was a nothingburger. nt procon Nov 2017 #41

Didn't want Brazile to know this, apparently. (nt) ehrnst Nov 2017 #61

Exactly. Can you imagine bernie being low key unless Kahuna7 Nov 2017 #76

She can't write. I'm surprised she didn't mention the scent of the candle... NurseJackie Nov 2017 #6

Ok. But this whole shebang could've been avoided if he had corrected her "findings" Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #8

Yes indeed! You're absolutely correct! It reflects poorly on BOTH of them... NurseJackie Nov 2017 #12

Warren was wrong & did not know the truth. Sanders knew the truth. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #16

If any other person knew ... NurseJackie Nov 2017 #23

Yep, it is a small detail but very telling. Would be interesting if reporters asked both ab ph call Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #33

I'm sorry, Brazile owns this. She and her publishers had an obligation to get the facts right emulatorloo Nov 2017 #19

She is a big girl and yes she owns this. I hate what she did but I do not hate her. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #21

Bingo. (nt) ehrnst Nov 2017 #62

But She Did Decribe Her Me. Nov 2017 #35

### NurseJackie Nov 2017 #36

Donna is really dumb. She lost her job at CNN and needs some money now. PubliusEnigma Nov 2017 #17

Bernie is a complete class.act, cilla4progress Nov 2017 #24

Bernie doesn't play politics? radical noodle Nov 2017 #34

Yeah.... Career politician. (nt) ehrnst Nov 2017 #63

The honest thing to do would be to let someone know when they're wrong. NurseJackie Nov 2017 #39

And if he didn't quite know what she was angling for then, and was reticent, KitSileya Nov 2017 #45

Those unflattering reasons you hint at are likely the same ones that come to my mind as well... NurseJackie Nov 2017 #49

Jeff Weaver has spoken for him. ehrnst Nov 2017 #64

In what way would Brazile be using Bernie? ehrnst Nov 2017 #57

Gracious, almost to a fault. Bernie just keeps showin why he's an extremely popular political leader InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2017 #69

We see Bernie very differently. And that's ok. We got to agree to disagree. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #70

We do and, yes, that IS okay... maybe, in a weird kinda way, this latest InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2017 #71

I honestly feel like even if something untoward happened, Bernie would not discuss it. Tatiana Nov 2017 #25

The point is that nothing untoward was going on w/regards with DB's findings. He knew that. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #27

So instead he'll let Brazile and Warren spread lies about the Democratic Party KitSileya Nov 2017 #46

Who benefits from that mistake that Brazile made? ehrnst Nov 2017 #65

Not discuss it with who? ehrnst Nov 2017 #59

Well said!! Certainly one of MANY reasons why I supported Bernie in the primary InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2017 #72

Bernie's from NYC. I don't think he's the type of guy that takes anything someone says to him at jalan48 Nov 2017 #26

I am from/in NY myself. Interesting explanation, that's all am gonna say. Someone should ask him. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #28

Maybe it was the gospel music he could hear in the background and he thought, jalan48 Nov 2017 #29

Not sure why people harping on her gospel music, am atheist myself, but it seems fine with me. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #30

Not harping, it was meant as humor. This really isn't about Bernie anyway-it's about Donna. jalan48 Nov 2017 #32

Of course melman Nov 2017 #37

Nah Bernie did real good! Is funny how Donna does not realize what she is saying in that excerpt Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #42

Yes, everyone knows Bernie runs the DNC... seriously, Bernie is a class act. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2017 #53

I'm still trying to understand her motivation. Was this her editors demanding some "juice" to sell.. brush Nov 2017 #38

maybe w/her interviews tomorrow we will learn more... Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #43

"I lit a candle in my living room and put on some gospel music... Mike Nelson Nov 2017 #40

Not only was BS "lowkey" lapucelle Nov 2017 #50

You're right... if it were me, a get-well card would have been enough. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2017 #54

I wonder if the meeting to deliver the get well card lapucelle Nov 2017 #55

It would be good to get ALL the facts out... the sooner the better InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2017 #66

And it's only two days fore the 2017 election. lapucelle Nov 2017 #74

this is sounding more and more bizarre..... samnsara Nov 2017 #51

We will see what Bernie says about it blueinredohio Nov 2017 #77

Makes sense. Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #78

Kicking! Madam45for2923 Nov 2017 #79
