Chris Hayes interviewed Bernie a few weeks back and asked him a pretty crucial question: how does Bernie propose to win over what Mr. Weeks calls the Hillary Ecosphere? Bernie had no real answer. He also had a pretty revealing answer when Hayes asked him what he’d prioritize. Bernie apparently thinks prioritization is only for ‘corporate shills’ who aren’t True Progressives like himself.
He answered in his patented pious way where his facial expressions shows he doesn’t approve of the question: ‘Chris, that might have been the case before but not now that I’m going in.’
Right Bernie will literally give us Singe Payer, end climate change, Free College, and a $15 MW with no phase in at 12:01 Inauguraiton day. After that he’s going back to Vermont-presumably to buy a Vermont cow to play with Devin Nunes’ California cow.
@DebJHolley @DevinCow So it looks like Devin Nunes' cow just made a campaign video for him. Considerate of her… https://t.co/8880PQi21n

Bernie spent the majority of his interview time doing what he does on the stump these days-crowing about how everyone in the Democratic party was ignorant, corrupt, and worthless before but now they’re ok-as they all agree 100% with what he’s been saying all his life. But even if they all agree with him now vote for him not these candidates saying ‘I’m a person of color vote for me’-he used to chide Clinton for saying ‘I’m a woman vote for me’ because his HOLY SAINTED PROGRESSIVENESS is TRUE-he’s been there since 1975.
You can only trust a guy like him-who never changes his mind about anything meaningful.
As for how much Bernie has done to win the Hillary base-which was and remains and will remain much larger than his own-his answer is the same as the answer to the question of what is war good for: absolutely nothing.
Indeed-unlike everyone else running for 2020-Bernie is not interested in getting any advice from Hillary Clinton aka the Legitimate President.
FN: Everyone has approached Her Legitimacy Herself except Bernie and Gillibrand but Gillibrand wants to she just hasn’t yet earned the right to hear Hillary’s wise urgings and counsel ringing in her ears-to paraphrase what Mike Dukakis said about Kitty. Gillibrand is working on on apologizing to HRC on the right to ask for Hillary’s forgiveness. Not only does she need to apologize she needs to earn the right to apologize to Hillary. Not time yet…
FN to FN: Note that Howie Carr leaves out the true MVP for Bush Sr’s tainted ‘victory’-the honeytrap they set for Gary Hart, a play truly worthy of Pat Buchanan and Don Segretti-the Canucks Letter knocked out Muskie who Nixon saw as his most dangerous Dem challenger.
As we see in Chapter A, it turns out Hart didn’t even know Donna Rice she just came up to him in time for the cameras.
I know-it seems like every Republican ‘win’ has an asterisk next to it. It’s not my fault, maybe they should try, I don’t know, not cheating for once.
End of FN:
Bernie goes even further in snubbing the large body of Clinton supporters in the Democratic party-many who still want her to run now-and it’s a fair point, if Biden’s allowed to run why isn’t she?

The 2020 Democratic nomination will not go to anyone who throws Hillary and/or Obama under the bus.
We will remember.

Hillary's every plan, every program, every position is still right here. She's the only candidate who doesn't have to be brought up to speed. #Hillary2020 https://t.co/rxLhqpj7jP

But the ‘smart set’ thought she talked about the issues with too much detail and depth.
FN: The Intercept makes the fair point that if Clinton wasn’t supposedly-I reject the Intercept’s and Ryan Cooper’s supposition-liberal enough Joe really isn’t.
Bernie has just hired David Sirota a Bernie or Buster in the HA Goodman mold. Ok-not quite; Goodman has now literally endorsed Trump and is telling all the rest of the Bernie Bros to follow him onto #TrainTreasonTrump
Bernie should be pushed RELENTLESSLY on this hire

.@vetthebern @thepeoplesview: "It is impossible to escape the conclusion that Bernie Sanders has been secretly paying a wholly unethical hack to bully his opponents in the Democratic party.
That's the kind of man Bernie Sanders is." https://t.co/s313TYXraN
