JUNE 28TH UPDATE- MY UPDATE INCLUDES PART OF BERNIE SANDERS WITH ANDREA MITCHELL OF “MITCHELL REPORTS” ON MSNBC TODAY-PLEASE PLEASE CONTACT THE DNC my.democrats.org/...SANDERS IS NOW BEING BEYOND CONDESCENDING TO AND ABOUT HILLARY CLINTON. HE STILL IS ACTING LIKE HE WON THE NOMINATION STILL PRESSING THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN AND THE DNC TO MEET HIS DEMANDS.
HERE ARE SOME OF THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON AN INTERVIEW TODAY WITH ANDREA MITCHELL ON MSNBC’S MITCHELL REPORTS :
MITCHELL: In our polling today, in our NBC News survey, Monkey Online poll, there's an eight-point spread. Hillary Clinton is leading Donald Trump, but single digits, and not a big wave behind her, also in her NBC News-Wall Street Journal poll. So this could be a very close race. How long are you going to wait before you make a decision about endorsement? Will you decide before -- ?
SANDERS: I think -- you're asking, I think, with all due respect, Andrea, the wrong question. It's not a question of my endorsement. It's a question of the American people understanding that Secretary Clinton is prepared to stand with them as they work longer hours for low wages, as they cannot afford health care, as their kids can't afford to go to college. Make it clear that she is on their side, that she is prepared to take on Wall Street, the drug companies, fossil fuel industry. Deal with the global crisis of climate change. I have no doubt that if Secretary Clinton makes that position, those positions clear, she will defeat Trump and defeat him by a very wide margin.
SANDERS next several statements prove his contempt towards Hillary and her Campaign and Disrespect for the DNC: I think many people -- I would respectfully disagree and suggest that many people do understand. Our job is to transform America, to end the 40-year decline of the American middle class. That is what I am fighting to do. And we are in that process right now. We did very well, I thought, in St. Louis, in terms of the first meeting of the platform committee. Now we go to Orlando, and then we go to the floor of the Democratic Convention. Politics is not a baseball game with winners or losers. What politics is about is whether we protect the needs of millions of people in this country who are hurting. That is my focus. And my job right now is to make the Democratic Party as open, as inclusive, as progressive as it possibly can be, and that's what we're working on as we speak.
To me, what politics is about is not just electing candidates. It's about transforming this country, about dealing with the decline of the American middle class, and massive levels of income and wealth inequality, dealing with climate change, dealing with the need to make sure that all of our young people have the opportunity to go to college, when we make public colleges and universities tuition free. Those are issues that have to be dealt with, in my mind, by the Democratic platform and by Secretary Clinton, and we look forward to working with the Clinton campaign to bring that forward.
At this point the DNC needs to have a “Come To Jesus” meeting with Bernie Sanders about his Revolution/Campaign and his denigration of the Democratic Party. It’s time for Sanders to shut his mouth and join the Party or Leave. Enough is Enough. UPDATE UPDATE- EVERYBODY SHOULD CELEBRATE HILLARY AS THE 1ST FEMALE CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT NOT SANDERS CONTINUES DEMANDS TO CHANGE OUR PLATFORM. PLEASE MESSAGE THE DNC WEBSITE my.democrats.org/… AND LET THEM KNOW IT’S TIME TO SUPPORT HILLARY’S HISTORY MAKING NOMINATION & NOT CHANGE HER PLATFORM TO SANDERS PLATFORM!!!!!
SHARE THIS WITH YOUR FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK TO CONTACT THE DNC & SUPPORT HILLARY!OUTRAGE! OUTRAGE! BERNIE, WE AS HILLARY CLINTON SUPPORTERS ARE OUTRAGED WITH YOUR NEED TO MAKE THIS CAMPAIGN TO DEFEAT TRUMP AND ELECT THE FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT ABOUT YOU INSTEAD OF PROTECTING THE RIGHTS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!EVERYBODY PLEASE TWEET AND E-MAIL ALL DEMOCRATIC POLITICIANS AND MEDIA OUTLETS AND LET THEM KNOW YOUR OUTRAGE OF SANDERS NON-SUPPORT OF HILLARY CLINTON.If you did not get a chance to watch CNN’s “State of the Union” hosted by Jake Tapper this morning then you missed it. Once again Bernie Sanders has proven he is only out for Bernie Sanders. I watched Sanders “Where do we go from Here” speech from the other night and he never mentions Hillary Clinton. He talks much more about Defeating Donald Trump. He also talked about keeping and using your “OUTRAGE” not to lose it but use it. If Bernie Sanders truly supported the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton he would concede and support Hillary to help increase her following for President which would show in the upcoming Polls. What this comes down to is BERNIE IS OUT FOR BERNIE! IT’S STILL ALL ABOUT BERNIE’S REVOLUTION AND HAVING ALL OF HIS DEMANDS MET. Yesterday The Platform Committee met to set up a Platform for the Democratic Convention. Bernie Sander’s team did get some concessions on the $15 an hour minimum wage, the death penalty, increased Social Security and several other points of contention for him.
However,Sanders did not get the carbon tax he wanted or the ban of fracking. Sanders did not get his Single Payer Universal Health Care. He did not get a guaranty of “Free College” and the rest of his demands. And they are DEMANDS.
Although Sanders had said in one interview earlier this week he would vote for Hillary on MSNBC he walked it back on CNN with Chris Cuomo saying he’d likely vote for Hillary Clinton. Jake Tapper asked Sanders if that wasn’t sending a message to his supporters that he does not endorse Hillary yet and the wording implies he might not vote for her.
Tapper went on to say 55% of his voters would vote for Hillary but 22% would vote for Trump and 18% said they would bot for the Libertarian Candidate Gary Johnson. Sanders said his members of the Platform Committee intend to bring up their issues again when the Committee meets again two weeks in Orlando, and if they don’t get their demands met their they will take it to the Democratic National Convention. In other words he’s not just going along with his demands that were met yesterday. Sanders plans to fight this all the way to the Convention in July.
When Sanders was asked again about his support of Hillary Clinton and getting his supporters behind Hillary Clinton he answered that was up to Hillary to basically make her platform his to earn his supporters. He expressed that Hillary and the Democratic National Committee has not moved far enough to the left. Sanders continues to make this about his Revolution and is not happy with Hillary Clintons plan for Debt Free College and still wants his Tuition Free College added to the Platform as well as his Complete Ban on Fracking
Basically what Sanders keeps saying OVER AND OVER is “I’M GOING TO DO EVERYTHING TO DEFEAT DONALD TRUMP BUT HILLARY IS GOING TO HAVE TO EARN MY VOTERS SUPPORTS, I’M NOT GOING TO TELL THEM TO VOTE FOR HER”.
Bernie has made himself irrelevant. His demands will not all be met. He needs to get over that. Hillary Clinton won the Nomination by over three times the lead Obama had on her in 2008. Hillary did not demand that all of her ideas on her platform be met before she would endorse President Obama.
Sanders switched to the Democratic Party only to PUSH HIS AGENDA. Sanders is not a Democrat. He is already registered in Vermont for the 2018 Senate Race as an INDEPENDENT. If he TRULY wanted HILLARY CLINTON to beat Trump Sanders would be supporting and campaigning for her at this very moment.
The good news is starting this week ELIZABETH WARREN AND HILLARY CLINTON will be giving their first Campaign Event together in Cincinnati, Ohio. The two Democratic leaders, a campaign release said, "will discuss their shared commitment to building an America that is stronger together and an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top." Their is a lot of conjecture that Elizabeth Warren will be Hillary’s running mate but that is now what this rally is about. Warren is ACTIVELY TRYING TO GET HILLARY ELECTED PRESIDENT, UNLIKE SANDERS.
Soon President Obama, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and many many other Top Democratic Senators, Congressmen, Governors, Mayors along with many other elected officials will be on the Campaign Trail for Hillary! It is time for Democrats to say “Get behind Hillary Clinton and concede and ENDORSE HER and help Hillary Defeat Donald Trump or GO HOME!”
Bernie is not going to change. Bernie is going to make this about his “REVOLUTION” all the way until the November vote for President.
BERNIE, WE WILL GET HILLARY CLINTON ELECTED WITH OR WITHOUT YOU! NOBODY WANTS DONALD TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT. THIS IS HILLARY’S CAMPAIGN AND HER PLATFORM- IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO WAKE UP AND COME BACK TO EARTH! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AND WERE DONE WITH YOUR CRAP!
You Lied and NEVER PRODUCED YOUR TAX RETURNS. (My article on Sanders Releasing his Tax Returns www.dailykos.com/... Jane is still under investigation for BANK FRAUD for the loans she took out for BURLINGTON COLLEGE. You only pay 3.8 % income tax and will not let us see why. WE HAVE DEMANDED TO SEE YOUR TAX RETURNS SINCE YOU SAID YOU’D RELEASE THEM APRIL, 14, 2016.
BERNIE SANDERS HAS PUSHED BACK TO HARD WITH NO LEVERAGE LEFT. IT’S TIME TO MAKE HIM IRRELEVANT. HE IS BECOMING CORRUPT WITH POWER AND NOT FIGHTING FOR THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA BUT FOR BERNIE SANDERS! BERNIE GO HOME!
