END TO END BERNERS: The Official Bernie Sanders 2020 Crew thread

wonder if Rob Reiner will live long enough to film The Death of Bernie

so NYT has a story today that superdelegates are burnin' to stop Bern if he enters the con w/ a mere plurality

who'll be watching the world burn then?

By revealing their plans, the quoted superdelegates (only a tenth of them!) showed what a buncha maroons they were; they couldn't march down the street for coffee, much less destroy Sanders. Plus, they haven't rallied around anyone. As I told a FB friend, the NYT couldn't not assign and publish this story because it loves "[X] IN DISARRAY" stories. I'm not sure what power Nancy Pelosi exerts over superdelegates, but she already said yesterday that she'll support Sanders if he's the nominee. Look at it more closely: the reporters spoke to a tenth of the super delegates whose consensus opinion is: Sanders shouldn't automatically get the nomination merely because he has a plurality. They don't seem to be saying that they are committed to voting against him in that scenario. But, again, it's political reporting commissioned by the NYT, which often is indistinguishable from POLITICO.

haven't read the story, so it figures

Can’t wait for “Will Bernie disavow Professor Griff?”

when I saw PE a few years ago, Griff got like 10 minutes to sell us on some stupid Illuminati bullshit book he'd just written so annoying

You want six dollars for what?

as much as I like both Bernie and PE, FIGHT THE POWER appearing on a poster touting a presidential candidate is undeniably hilarious

Charlie Kirk complains that wearing a Bernie Sanders shirt will get you high-fives and “invites to the coolest parties.”

James Carville shoulda been the guy who bounced off the propeller

Incredible

I think the combined forces of Hillary, Mayor Pete, Bloomberg, and Chris Matthews have managed to turn my dad into a Bernie campaign donor.

Miracles never cease.

On his Ch*po appearance, NFL player Justin Jackson talked about how he was seduced to the left mainly by his dad having MSNBC on at home all the time and hearing them shit on Bernie constantly. They've done so much for the movement!

Did they ever let him speak?

@BernieSanders being born and raised in Pennsylvania I’d HAPPILY play A Thousand Miles in every county in the state for you. My traveling piano is gassed up and READY. TO. GO.

hahahah omg

So many people were volunteering to text over the last two days that the server crashed when I was trying to log in yesterday, and today had no texts in the hopper, as they all had been sent.

Felt the bern live in Springfield MA tonight

Victory Energy!

Xp and then they misidentified him as a tigers player instead of a lions player (which confused the hell out of me for a sec and made me doubt my memory)

from bret stephens, an argument from intellectual integrity against bernie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! beautiful

So many awesome anti-endorsements this week, yeah

Bret Stephens is mad at Sanders because he disliked CIA coups of duly elected Latin American leaders in 1973 and still does today. The horror. https://t.co/D1Q6YkLuSS pic.twitter.com/krFZEAZgsY

This is some epic multi-dimensional cosmic brain reason right here

.@BernieSanders is trying to put @ewarren and @amyklobuchar campaigns out of their misery by beating them on #SuperTuesday in their respective home states of #Mass. and #Minn. Mistake. He should be focusing on bigger hauls in bigger states, not trying to humiliate female rivals.

— Howard Fineman (@howardfineman) February 28, 2020

A year ago I blasted a Fineman column on Twitter. The next morning I saw a Twitter PM he'd written, apologizing if I'd written something that offended him. Unaccustomed to this gesture from million-dollar Beltway eminences, I explained in a couple sentences why I objected to his kind of horse race politics. We exchanged five or six messages; he never once lost his temper.

I unofficially decided I wouldn't criticize him anymore b/c he was such a gent. I can't imagine Chris Matthews or Chuck Todd taking the time to politely understand why a stranger disliked his reporting.

He may be a great guy, but isn't the goal of any candidate to get as many delegates as possible? Sanders has to run up the score to avoid a stupid brokered convention situation.

No, Fineman's being stupid.

Man how condescending would bernie sound if he said "we're not competing there, Amy and liz can have a little home state delegates, as a treat"

If I had a vote I would have sent in a ballot for Warren. But if she can't win a seriously contested primary in her home state she pretty obviously shouldn't be the party's nominee.

— Scott Lemieux (@LemieuxLGM) February 29, 2020

Fineman's being stupid.

Yes, it is very stupid. Yet, this seems to be a talking point that's making the rounds among the political commentariat that doesn't like Bernie. Any candidate who wants to win campaigns to win as many votes/delegates as possible, including in the home states of other candidates. Especially since he's got the volunteers and resources to do it. That's not mean-spirited, it's practical politics.

Total nonshocker that staunch Dem naysayers would use the acquisitiveness built in to the numbskull game-show apparatus of the primary system in order to undermine the high road Bernie consistently tries to take

JUST IN: @berniesanders announces he raised $46.5M in February from more than 2.2M donations, including contributions from more than 350,000 people who donated to the campaign for the first time. Saturday he raised $4.5M, the best one-day haul since the launch of the campaign.
