So presidential mcar Mar 2020 #1

Not. NurseJackie Mar 2020 #20

All these people who looked at Bernie and saw a President BeyondGeography Mar 2020 #58

It's beyond comprehension for me. NurseJackie Mar 2020 #92

As a senior myself, I don't blame him for saying this. secondwind Mar 2020 #2

There's a way to say things StarfishSaver Mar 2020 #4

That's his specialty actually BeyondGeography Mar 2020 #5

Yes he Rebl2 Mar 2020 #63

I figured you'd get replies like this mcar Mar 2020 #86

Yes it is the way to say it. We need to be perfectly blunt about this. totodeinhere Mar 2020 #96

If this is such a problem for him that he has to bark "Stay away from me" at people in his midst StarfishSaver Mar 2020 #99

Yeah maybe a 6 day break from the media and the public ChubbyStar Mar 2020 #103

I do not blame him for wanting to be safe. I take issue with how abrupt and bossy he is. NurseJackie Mar 2020 #21

Condescending I believe the word is. Fla Dem Mar 2020 #44

Exactly. NurseJackie Mar 2020 #48

And not answering the question. nt spooky3 Mar 2020 #76

I guess that's pretty much a given any more. NurseJackie Mar 2020 #80

Me neither. Raven123 Mar 2020 #26

No doubt the evil DNC set up the whole thing to embarrass Sanders. Orrex Mar 2020 #3

DNC Chairman Perez should make him an offer BidenBacker Mar 2020 #8

Oh, you! NurseJackie Mar 2020 #23

That must be a pre-virus video BidenBacker Mar 2020 #31

I think you're right. NurseJackie Mar 2020 #34

No answer to the question either treestar Mar 2020 #6

I keep wondering whether he's got symptoms or a positive test. The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2020 #7

Being forthcoming about his health isn't really something we can count on. MrsCoffee Mar 2020 #9

"..health is too fragile." +1 oasis Mar 2020 #11

on senator.gov you can be updated about work on the pending bill package.heres 3/20,2020 Sunlei Mar 2020 #27

That's all very well and good, but talk is cheap. He has to be physically in the Senate The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2020 #32

He votes with the D party when the vote is _needed_ for a count. Sunlei Mar 2020 #37

Senators are supposed to have their asses in their chairs in the Senate. That's their job. The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2020 #39

Because of corona virus some things will change. Hopefully not for too long. Sunlei Mar 2020 #49

Like I said, talk is cheap. The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2020 #51

I say it's never cheap. "Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. Sunlei Mar 2020 #81

Did he still earn his full pay even though he didn't vote? George II Mar 2020 #54

why show up to nominate trumps people? Sunlei Mar 2020 #62

But his claim over the years, when it was pointed out that Vermont doesn't have "M4A" or.... George II Mar 2020 #71

He votes with the D party in the Federal government. Sunlei Mar 2020 #74

Yes he does, except for when he doesn't. But you said.... George II Mar 2020 #75

He 'gets shit done' in both, his _votes_ are in the Federal government. Sunlei Mar 2020 #78

But less than 40% of the time. thucythucy Mar 2020 #83

you're incorrect. Our party works closely with the d party leader, ALL always vote when needed. Sunlei Mar 2020 #94

"Our party works closely withh the d party leader.." thucythucy Mar 2020 #100

See post #54. ahoysrcsm Mar 2020 #93

Keep a safe distance! R Paul has corona & so does Senator Amy Klobuchars husband! Sunlei Mar 2020 #10

Speaking of Rand Paul BidenBacker Mar 2020 #12

Pauls a stupid man, he was exposed 3 weeks ago, told to self isolate but he ignored that. Sunlei Mar 2020 #18

Wow BidenBacker Mar 2020 #19

Went in the gym and pool True Blue American Mar 2020 #29

very worried about anyone who smoozed at the same locations where Sen. Amy Klobuchar was Sunlei Mar 2020 #35

I thought the gym and pool were closed. Apparently not. True Blue American Mar 2020 #36

Not the gym and pool I'm worried about. Amy & Husband spent much time last 2 weeks Sunlei Mar 2020 #40

Most of them use both. True Blue American Mar 2020 #43

Amy's campaign has been over for more than two weeks. The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2020 #69

It's been more than two weeks since she withdrew (March 2), and The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2020 #42

yes, 2 weeks apart so hope she's safe & he gets well. Amys 3/23 statement about her husband Sunlei Mar 2020 #46

Sen Klobuchar and her husband have been apart for 2 weeks mcar Mar 2020 #89

Wow, let's not get too paranoid here, okay? BidenBacker Mar 2020 #82

Thank you StarfishSaver Mar 2020 #87

And a couple other things to consider while I'm thinking about it BidenBacker Mar 2020 #84

He's not 90. Sanders is 78, Biden is 77 and the republicans patsy president is 73. Sunlei Mar 2020 #56

Oops,.. I meant 80. magicarpet Mar 2020 #64
