Why shouldn’t he?

It makes him look like an old angry white man.

So he should be happy about the direction of this country?

He should look at how Mayor Pete and Beto O'Rourke debate, that's rational talk. Warren has argued his views without alienating the Democratic base.

I liked how Bernie debated. Showed he was high-energy, after last month's low-energy performance. And it seems to have paid off.

Why would anyone look at how Beto is debating?

His claim demeanor is a seller for those who are bothered by Bernie's boisterous appearance.

Less than the 2M$ raised by Harris after her debate performance, but more contributors for Sanders.

Remind me how well Rational Romney came off in 2012, compared to Obama's wise-guy act. It was good right?

Kasich was oh-so rational in 2016...that's why he's President now.

I don't see how the demeanor of a claims agent is a good thing.

I have nothing against him but I think he might be past his time

Do you have any criticism of Sanders other than your "he's an old white man" line?

This is all on you Bernie. Look in the mirror tonight and see why the violence continues to occur.

It’s extremely sickening that you would use a tragedy to attempt to score political points.

[Morning in Atlas]

I for one can't wait until we take control of the Democratic Party, and James Monroe, consumed by hatred of us, turns to hard Trumpism.

I like similar far-left politicians such as Senator Warren, you won't see me leaving the party anytime soon.

[Interlocutor is just not there yet]

I'm more bothered by Monroe's over-reliant use of Twitter posts.

You don't have the slightest idea what far left is.

This Monroe guy is a Correct the Record paid stooge or a closet Trump fan who is scared Bernie will beat Trump.

This article is from 1993, shortly after Bernie Sanders voted against the Brady Bill.  This isn't some rape fantasy he wrote in the 70s, this is the middle of this political career when he had already been in elected office for over a decade.

I personally don't think these gun control attacks are going to be very effective, for the same reason the racism attacks on Biden are ineffective -- it's just overwhelmingly obvious that's not what he believes today.

But damn, if there's another mass shooting during the primary, some PAC running well-crafted ads with "BERNIE SANDERS ANTI-GUN CONTROL" could be a race-ender.

[John Dule]

Why are people so up in arms (no pun intended) about Sanders protecting gun manufacturers from frivolous lawsuits? In what other industry can a company be held responsible for the deliberate misuse of their product?

He has a D- NRA rating despite being from Vermont. Every other significant VT member of congress or governor for a while (probably ever) has at least a C. Leahy has a C. Welch has an A. Shumlin and Dean had an A.

[Pericles]

The thing with Sanders on gun control is that this probably was, at least in part, him pandering to his constituents and generally doing what a normal politician does. Problem with that defense though is that he is supposed to be a conviction politician, and if he's just a normal politician that undercuts a key part of his candidacy.

Isn't "Bernie is a saint who stands his ground and fights to the death for his convictions" supposed to be one of the main arguments for why he will be able to pass his fantasy legislation?

If he can't pass his legislation, his entire candidacy falls apart.

At least he goes down with conviction.

Can you the say the same for these "moderates" and "pragmatists" that insist they can pass "realistic legislation with the GOP"...no wait, you can't, we tried 8 years of that approach, and all it led to was Donald Trump.
