Barney Frank: Support for Sanders reflects a ‘lack of information’

The Hill: Supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders are unrealistic about what the independent Vermont senator can achieve if elected president, former Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) argued Monday. 

“I think it is a lack of information, to be honest,” he said on “MSNBC Live with Jose Diaz-Balart” when asked why Sanders is resonating with voters.

“You have people, I believe, who do not understand how hard it is to make change. [It is] the importance of not just being idealistic, but being sensibly pragmatic and keeping their ideals. Sanders is getting their support.” MORE

  1. This is the “frank” in “Dodd/Frank”. If you are doing a refinance or purchase of a home this is the guy that made the process what it is today. Just an FYI.

  2. I’m confused…the lofo voters were barney’s meal ticket…bernie and hillary will stick it to the tax payers just like barney stuck it to us.
    barney has changed his personal preference from being the stick”er” to the stick”ee”.

  3. From Don Rickles back in the day –
    Barney Frank – “he’s a better actor than Fred Flintstone. Considering that he and Dodd caused the whole financial meltdown and they’re not only not serving time with Bubba and Rodney, they’re still heading up the financial system!”
    “Let’s all admit it… Barney Frank slobbers more than a sheepdog on Novocain.. How did this guy get elected? Oh, that’s right.. he’s from Massachusetts . That’s the state that elects Mr. Charisma, John Kerry — man of the people!”

    On Robert Gibbs: “I really respect you.. especially given your upbringing. All you’ve overcome…. I heard your birth certificate is an apology from the condom factory.”

    On the Obamboozler: President Obama just completed the UNHOLY and ANTI-AMERICAN TRIFECTA:
    1st president in 110 years to miss the annual Army-Navy Football Game
    1st president to not attend any Christmas religious observance.
    1st president to stay on vacation after a terrorist attack.
    AND ALL IN THE SAME MONTH! WHAT A GREAT PRESIDENT!
    For all of you that voted for Hope and Change… bend over and prepare to receive your bounty!

  4. so wait a minute – did I read that correctly?

    He said that Bernie supporters are mistaken for supporting him because …. they underestimate how hard it is to change things?

    What is he talking about?

    That’s the only problem with the Sanders platform?

    BF is actually saying that the only PROBLEM with BS platform is that it would be too hard to change the system in order to implement it?

    So BF is NOT saying that the problem with the BS platform is that it’s IMPOSSIBLE to implement? That 2+2 does not equal 46?

    This quote tells me that BF likes the BS platform and wishes it could be implemented, but, alas, change is too hard in DC. Sigh.

  5. Yep, it is difficult to change anything legislatively….if you don’t read the bill. You just have to wait for it to be passed and implemented to see the disastrous effects.

    One thing more destructive than a fool, it’s a perverted progressive fool.

  6. I can make 2+2 = 46. 2+2 = 4, 2+4 = 6, combine them and you have 46. Thank you Common Core for effin up simple math. According to the new standards the answer can be anything as long you have self esteem about it. And yes 2+2 always = 4, any idiot should be to figure that out. It’s no wonder we’re in trouble when nothing has meaning anymore and the answer can be whatever you want it to be.

  7. It amazes me just how many representatives allow the public to see just how stupid they are, by opening their mouths.

    We are experiencing last days of Rome; Obama plays, the senate and house vie to out do each other in audacious behavior, robbery of America, debauchery and not just ignoring the alarms of the people, but circling their wagons blatantly against us. All the while, the barbarians are no longer knocking at the gates, they are swarming in, invited by the corrupt in Washington.

    It is past time to flush the DC, toilet. Vote the traitors out of office. It’s no wonder Trump triumphs. Yes, he’s a bit wild and outrageous, and unknown. But all of the others are known and we are sick and tired of being on the outside of the ‘club’ while having to pay for it!
