he did nothing about them then & it's unlikely that he will do anything about them now!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
What??? How did he "take that help"??? DanTex Feb 2020 #1
He didn't and the post should be removed. Garrett78 Feb 2020 #2

Silence equals approval. He said nothing. He did nothing. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #10
Courage, leadership, and decency Rorey Feb 2020 #26
I have higher standards. I'm not going to reward that type of dishonest behavior. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #29
We don't know what he might have said, and to who. We don't know what was or was not classified. thesquanderer Feb 2020 #31
Nice try, but that's a very weak defense. This was a test of leadership and integrity. He failed. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #37
re: "He was angry when the news broke... why?" thesquanderer Feb 2020 #40
LOL! NurseJackie Feb 2020 #42
he wouldn't have had to tell everything he knew!! subana Feb 2020 #73
Sometimes saying something is classified even without details. thesquanderer Feb 2020 #74
It depends on the reasons for the silence. totodeinhere Feb 2020 #34
I'm sure they were all selfless and honorable reasons. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #41
And you know this how? Exactly what did the Russians do to help Bernie? totodeinhere Feb 2020 #43
Okay. Thanks for the report. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #48
I know this is a serious topic but sometimes a bit of levity can be helpful. totodeinhere Feb 2020 #52
I've seen and heard his hatred and insults and smears of the Democrats and the Democratic party. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #54
I didn't see any hatred or smears at my precinct. totodeinhere Feb 2020 #62
I'm afraid I cannot help you. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #65
Everyone has an opinion. brutus smith Feb 2020 #64
I'm entitled to my opinion or I have a right to my opinion is a logical fallacy... NurseJackie Feb 2020 #68
I truly don't like that he insults Dems, uses us whenever it helps him. apcalc Feb 2020 #76

Not speaking up about it before Iowa. MrsCoffee Feb 2020 #4
Bullseye! Cha Feb 2020 #47
Those Bernie Bots are a big reason why he's so disliked as John Fante Feb 2020 #53
the bernie bros did similar things 4 yrs ago! subana Feb 2020 #79

Props to JudyM doxyluv13 Feb 2020 #3
He was upset that it was "leaked" before the Nevada vote. Wonder how long he wanted it... George II Feb 2020 #5
He knew for a month and not a word, not a complaint, not a peep. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #11
Thank you! Botany Feb 2020 #14
Where I come from (which is Brooklyn in the 1940s), that's called being complicit. George II Feb 2020 #15
It showed a lack of integrity. A lack of honor. A lack of courage. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #21
Yup, and what's weird is that his campaign started amplifying R B Garr Feb 2020 #16
Why would any honorable candidate remain silent? NurseJackie Feb 2020 #19
Agreed. Keeping things secret is hypocritical of someone R B Garr Feb 2020 #22

Wasn't a main point of that briefing about foreign agitators posing as"Bernie Bros" to sow KPN Feb 2020 #38
I think he should tell what the Russians are doing? if he can rockfordfile Feb 2020 #88
What help did he take? I too am very curious about that. jmg257 Feb 2020 #17

No! No! tecelote Feb 2020 #27
Are you upset that he didn't disclose classified information? LenaW Feb 2020 #23
That's utter nonsense. He's the one screaming about a rigged process in 2016, OnDoutside Feb 2020 #80
because legally, he had to. LenaW Feb 2020 #89
A small addition to that Hav Feb 2020 #30

Provide a few good mainstream links for that please. hedda_foil Feb 2020 #33
Do the junior senator from VT's own words count? tishaLA Feb 2020 #59
Only if.one has an overactive imagination. hedda_foil Feb 2020 #92
Of course, Sec Clinton's emails weren't in the post you responded to tishaLA Feb 2020 #93

Exactly. Not angry that it happened... just angry that it came out. NurseJackie Feb 2020 #57
Just like Trump who was not mad at the Russians for trying to rig the 2020 democratic primaries .... Botany Feb 2020 #63
Bingo. dalton99a Feb 2020 #71
He hoped to hide it like he's hiding his Codeine Feb 2020 #61
With 48 primaries and a GE left to go, you can look forward to seeing an outcome you'll be ok with. ancianita Feb 2020 #60
