Sanders campaign wracked by dissension | ||
2019-09-18 | ||
...The ’ fiercest supporters are sounding the alarm that the campaign is bogged down by disorganization, personality festivities, and poor communication between state operations and national headquarters. After a pair of setbacks this week ‐ the acrimonious shakeup of his staff in New Hampshire on Sunday and loss of the Working Families Party's endorsement
Being Native American has been part of my story since the day I was bornWarren ...Dem Senatrix from Massachussetts, who traces her noble lineage all the way back to Big Chief Spouting Bull. It has been alleged that she speaks with forked tongue but she denies that. She had a DNA test to prove her lineage and it turns out she's colorless... a day later ‐ Sanders’ allies and former aides are worried that recent disappointments are not one-off stumbles but rather emblematic of larger problems in his bid for the White House. The concerns are particularly acute in New Hampshire. "Seeing the campaign not be able to outshine Warren with WFP progressives doesn’t have me questioning WFP’s process," said Rafael Shimunov, a former national creative director for WFP and 2016 Sanders volunteer. "It has me questioning where the Bernie campaign could have done better, because I want to make sure the strongest candidate unmasks Biden and unseats Trump." The worries come as the campaign enters a critical, more urgent phase. After Labor Day, more voters typically tune into the election and begin to make up their minds. Expectations for Sanders are sky-high, especially in New Hampshire, where he defeated Crooked HillaryClinton ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world,usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away... in 2016 by 22 percentage points. But Warren has jumped in the national polls to tie Sanders for second place, and Joe Foreign Policy Whiz KidBiden ...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020... has proven harder to knock off his first-place perch than his rivals expected. | ||

#9 I want to make sure the strongest candidate unmasks Biden That *is* a curious statement. Unmasks Biden as... what? A kooky, slightly corrupt old Liberal politician who likes to smell women's hair? A lizard person? A secret Catholic? What? |

#8 Eh, Hillary won the Democratic nomination fair and square. That just makes it all the more cartoon villain that she rigged it anyway. Like when Dirk Dastardly stops to cheat. The DNC argued in court, and won, saying that they were a private company that could nominate whoever they like and were not obligated to respect the results of a vote. |

#7 Bernie got a lot of traction when he campaigned in California in 2016. There was certainly a whole lot more enthusiasm at his rallies than Hillary's. I think if she hadn't rigged the election, he would have won. It would be foolish to count him out in 2020. I mean, he's up against Slow Joe and Fauxcahontas. I want to believe that Trump would walk all over him. |

#4 I want to make sure the strongest candidate unmasks Biden "Unmasks"? Wtf? So now this Obama domestic-spying dirty trick has become a standard term used by Democratic Party operatives... Everything now is disinformation, wetwork, agitprop lies. |

#3 All of these people hate America, and they're not going to be able to stop themselves from spewing it all over. Problem is, there's a market for that among some percentage of the electorate. As long as that percentage is > 0, it's too large. |
