In reply to the discussion: Trump turns down debate !!!! [View all]OnDoutside
(19,948 posts)59. Bernie is fortunate this debate isn't happening
Someone serious needs to grab a hold of him.
Democratic Senators are unloading on Bernie Sanders for a courting a debate with Donald Trump.]
Politico rounded up some reactions to Senate Democrats over the Sanders vs. Trump debate dance:
Bullshit, said Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia. That confirms what weve been saying. Why would you expect Bernie should be considerate or be nice or be working to bring everyone together? Why? Hes not a Democrat.
The partys frustrations are boiling over with Sanders as the primary season winds down: Namely that Sanders seems unwilling or unable to admit that Hillary Clinton is on course for the nomination. The ire toward Sanders began earlier this year among the loudest Democratic cheerleaders for Clinton and now its seeping into nearly the entire Senate Democratic caucus.
.
I dont know why he would do that. I think its time to start to winding down the primary, said Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.). Its time to move on.
Its peculiar, said Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio). Its all about Bernie trying to get the advantage in California. Its not going to work.
The easiest way to understand what Bernie Sanders is doing is to think of Sen. Sanders as a man who is not ready to let go. The one consistency in every answer that Sanders gives about the state of the race is a willingness to keep going. It doesnt matter what the delegate math, popular vote, or pledged delegate count says, Bernie Sanders is going to keep going.
