Yahoo: Twenty-four hours after a series of terrorist attacks in Paris left at least 129 people dead, top campaign officials for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders have made it clear the independent senator from Vermont isn’t that interested in talking about it.
After being informed the agenda of Saturday night’s debate on CBS had been shifted in light of the siege of Paris, a top Sanders aide “threw a fit” during a conference call with producers and other campaign staffers, a staffer for a rival campaign told Yahoo News. The aide’s concern: Expecting a presidential candidate to shift focus due to an unanticipated international incident isn’t fair.
“It was a little bit of a bizarre scene,” the staffer told Yahoo News.
SNIP: “Expecting a presidential candidate to shift focus due to an unanticipated international incident isn’t fair.”
Are you kidding me?
Is this how grandpa is going to handle his business as president?
Have an aide throw fits during ‘unanticipated’ incidents?
Well, a rather reliable rumor had it that the candidates were consulted, in the last few days, and the questions/topics were agreed upon. This would seem to support that rumor.
Of course we know that, to liberals, nothing is ever “fair,” unless it gives conservative a hard time.
Why is he even bothering?
Gosh Wally, I guess you’d better not call the old fart at 3 0’clock in the morning!
Yeah Beave, but what about Bernie?
The typical democratic response to any crisis, “How will this get me elected?”
Oh swell. Gramps can’t handle it when a change comes up due to an international event?
Welcome to the fucking Modern World you Alter Kaker, is this what one can expect from President Sanders?
President Calcified Brain Lobes, can’t deal with that shit because it’s after hours, or he is busy reading on the crapper, or he ate too much at dinner.
He would probably call Putin and get up in his grill at him for invading some country on the very same day he had a big media event planned in the Rose Garden for shutting down the last coal plant in the US.
He’s an senile old crank that the Hippies like because they’re delighted that a really ancient old guy spouts the same drivel as their own internal dialogue.
I’m surprised that Birkenstock hasn’t endorsed him and named a pair of sandals after him. Sandals that wear well with socks.
Perfect for standing in line to get free stuff.
This incident illustrates the type of people who live and work in New England. They are all living in their own sphere and if you challenge it, they will get upset. I have dealt with many people like Sanders and when you challenge any tidbit of their existance, they will go nuts!
They will convince you that what you see as reality is false and their view of the world is true. Even if the whole planet is on fire, there is an ongoing invasion by aliens from another planet or a portal to another dimension has opened and Cthulu’s tentacle is slithering around, if it does not fit into their world view, they will deny it and DEMAND that you ignore it.
If you do not accept their version of reality, they will take action against you and attack you. Why in Bernie’s case, he may go as far as to accuse you of antisemitism!
democrat debate. Another word for “safe place.”
