Bernie sounds a bit stressed.


Is this how a good President would respond in this situation?





Eric Bradner

@ericbradner

Bernie Sanders when @mkraju asked his timeframe for a decision: "I'm dealing with a fucking global crisis."

"Right now I'm trying to do my best to make sure that we don't have an economic meltdown and that people don't die. Is that enough for you to keep me busy for today?"

...are on April 4 - three relatively minor contests (a total of 53 delegates). Wisconsin votes on April 7, but the next BIG day is April 28 when CT, DE, NY, PA, and RI vote - a total of 567 delegates.

Aside from that, Sanders is forecast to lose all of them.

Let's hope they are sending ballots out soon. Not sure what these states do for primaries. Do virtual legislations to pass voting processes in states that don't have early voting.
We have to at least get this voting done by the deadlines for biden to get the numbers he needs.

His inability to reach across the aisle, his unwillingness to compromise, communicate, find common ground, explore mutual benefits, work together with others (and so on and so forth) shows that he'd be a highly ineffective POTUS.

As I said in another thread, the fact that his first thought on the matter was centered on himself is kind of remarkable.

Maybe he really does believe that he's the only one who can solve every problem.

We're busy too, trying not to die, and hoping Trump doesn't get reelected. Maybe you could endorse Joe and ask your supporters to fucking vote for him. That'd be great.

She staying with her boyfriend and he works from home...both are not going out but she said last Friday she and her friends went out partying because the media reports said it was no big deal for her age group.

but I imagine he is pretty stressed right now. He's not going to win the Primary and he knows it. He should go back to the Senate and fight for our health and safety NOW. Given his ego, I'm sure he's torn apart about this. That's obvious.

Bernie, do what you actually can do, not what you can't do.
