Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders finally agree on date for New York debate. Sanders camp still not happy. Update!

Courtesy of NBC News:

Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have finally come to terms on where and when they will have one more debate before New York's Democratic primary. 

It's going down in Brooklyn. 

The DNC-sanctioned debate will be aired on CNN and NY1, a regional cable news outlet, from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET on April 14 — five days before the New York primary.

There we go. After several weeks of grousing by the Sanders camp we finally have a date, so everybody should be happy.

Right?

Wrong.

Courtesy of Yahoo News:  

Afterward, Sanders' campaign spokesman, Michael Briggs, released an aggressively worded statement criticizing Clinton for making the Sanders campaign change a date for a rally that it was planning to hold on the same day. 

Briggs wrote: 

"Fortunately, we were able to move a major New York City rally scheduled for April 14 to the night before. We hope the debate will be worth the inconvenience for thousands of New Yorkers who were planning to attend our rally on Thursday but will have to change their schedules to accommodate Secretary Clinton's jam-packed, high-dollar, coast-to-coast schedule of fundraisers all over the country."

I'm sorry but since the large majority of Sanders supporters are young people still in college, exactly what plans do they have to change?

Speaking of Sanders' supporters get a load of what Barney Frank had to say about them recently: 

Supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders are unrealistic about what the independent Vermont senator can achieve if elected president, former Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) argued Monday. 

“I think it is a lack of information, to be honest,” he said on “MSNBC Live with Jose Diaz-Balart” when asked why Sanders is resonating with voters. 

“You have people, I believe, who do not understand how hard it is to make change. [It is] the importance of not just being idealistic, but being sensibly pragmatic and keeping their ideals. Sanders is getting their support.” 

Frank said some of the voters who are frustrated with the Democratic establishment have unrealistic expectations about what a president can deliver. 

“You have people who don’t understand, frankly, the nature of the American political system,” he said. "It’s the separation of powers.

This is the exact same argument I have with my daughter, who seems to think that Bernie Sanders is a Jewish version of Gandalf the Gray, with the power to wave his staff and simply change everything that he wants to change with some unspecified kind of magic.  (My daughter hates when I make this comparison by the way.)

She talks about free college, reforming Wall Street, and universal health care as policies that Bernie can put into place through sheer force of will, and with the support of everyday people with no ability to influence votes in the House or the Senate.

The reality is that winning this next election might be possible for either Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders, but Hillary wants to continue pushing forward policies put into place by President Obama, which is possible and perfectly reasonable, while Sanders wants to upend the table and start from scratch, and that is simply a non-starter.

Not only will Sanders face unrelenting opposition from the Right, but even Democrats in Congress will be wary of associating with him for fear of making themselves vulnerable in their bids for reelection.

Let's face it a Democrat in a purple state cannot afford to have a challenger with the ability to create ads showing them "palling around with a Socialist."

That label might not bother young folks today, and that is great news for our future, but it is the kiss of death in most Southern states and rural communities in this country.

Update: Okay I finally got around to reading this New York Daily News interview with Bernie Sanders.  I would suggest that any Sanders supporters do the same.

Pay close attention to his responses concerning Wall Street and "too big to fail" banks.

He literally has no idea what he is talking about.

      "I'm sorry but since the large majority of Sanders supporters are young people still in college, exactly what plans do they have to change?"

      Excuse me?

      That has to be the most obnoxious, rude, condescending, clueless and self-righteous statement I have ever read here from Gryphen.

      It's something Dullard Drumpf would say.

      Yes. It's that offensive.

      I'm personally offended by the assumption that college students can easily change their plans because, hey, they're college students, what plans could they have?

      It's like implying that Gryphen can change his plans at the last minute because hey, he's single and unemployed. He has no life so what's the big deal?

      I'll bet you expect those same college students to just roll over and vote for Hillary when the DNC stacks the deck for her to win. (Why bother with the sham of these primaries since they've already made the decision for the little people?)

      Maybe Gryph should lay off the insults and flat assuming that Bernie supporters will just roll over and vote for Hillary no matter how rudely they are mistreated.

    DNC and 33 States Used Loopholes to Funnel Millions Into the 'Hillary Victory Fund'
    $26 million went into the Clinton campaign before a single vote was cast.

    ... The idea was to increase how much one could personally donate to Hillary by taking advantage of the Supreme Court ruling 2014, McCutcheon v FEC, that knocked down a cap on aggregate limits as to how much a donor could give to a federal campaign in a year. It thus eliminated the ceiling on amounts spent by a single donor to a presidential candidate.

    “Mc McCutcheon was a terrible decision," Uygur explained, adding "it put Citizens United on steroids, and said, ‘you can give even more money as long as you give it to the party, and then in this case they figured, ‘I got it, there’s still caps on how much an individual can give to Hillary Clinton directly but what if we funnel it through the party. And we funnel it through the state democratic parties.' Bingo."

      A candidate can say whatever it takes to get elected, even if they have no clue if it can be done or how to do it. The true test comes after the election when they find out EXACTLY what they can do, Hillary already KNOWS this from being in the White House. Bernie, nor President Obama, had a clue. Pres Obama learned fast and lost support because the idiots who abandoned him were too stupid to realize this. Sanders would lose a TON of his young supporters because he cannot do what he says he wants to and those folks are too naive to get it. We will end up with a Dem Pres and lose both Senate and House in 2018 if Sanders is elected.

      You also say something about whining about Canada, and something about immigrating there.... Where the fuck did that come from Canada?

      Regardless, anyone with a skill and and a job there can become a citizen given the amount of time- without your 350k. Since most Canadians are pretty lazy and dumb, it isn't that hard to find skilled work in Canada actually.

      Anyways, what all you conceited and condescending Hillary supporters are missing, because you are stupid, is that Bernie is popular for the same reason Trump is, many people on both sides of the isle and non-affiliated types are sick of the status quo politicians and political class that essentially have been taking their votes for granted the last 20 years or so while enriching themselves.... and people want to shake it all up. Hillary will shake nothing up. Bernie and Trump will.

    “If Trump does not run the table on the rest of the primaries and the caucuses, we’re looking at a very, very narrow path in which the kingmakers go all out to cheat, to steal, and to snatch this nomination from the candidate who is overwhelmingly selected by the voters, which is why I have urged Trump supporters: come to Cleveland. March on Cleveland,” Stone said Monday on Freedomain Radio. “Join us in the Forest City. We’re going to have protests, demonstrations. We will disclose the hotels and the room numbers of those delegates who are directly involved in the steal. If you’re from Pennsylvania, we’ll tell you who the culprits are. We urge you to visit their hotel and find them. You have a right to discuss this if you voted in the Pennsylvania primary, for example, and your votes are being disallowed.”

    The comments were made in the lead-up to what many are expecting to be a brokered convention in July, in which the GOP establishment is expected to try and deny Trump the party nomination.

    Last month, Trump said there would be more violence if he doesn’t garner the nomination.

    Vanity Fair-
    Vermont senator Bernie Sanders has made railing against inequality, Wall Street malfeasance, and corporate greed a cornerstone of his populist campaign. But in a newly published transcript of a conversation between the Democratic presidential candidate and the editorial board of the New York Daily News, Sanders admitted he has not formulated any specific plans to break up the big banks or bring jobs back from overseas.

      Well this super delegate isn't going to be swayed by scare tactics, though they may want to stay off my ranch because we don't call 911 in Texas.
      Fuck Bernard ( oh yes, he goes by Bernard and has a fit when people call him Bernie) and his Bros.

    Anyone who reads that new Sanders-Daily News interview and is not appalled is really a libertarian, and most likely worships Glenn Greenwald, too.

    You seem to be joining this false narrative that all Bernie supporters are young, hippy wannabees. I'm in my 50s and in our town there was overwhelming support at the caucus for Bernie among ALL age classes. Our concerns regarding Hillary are real.

    So after all the whining that Bernie spewed forth about an April debate he is whining because he is too busy to debate? He acts like a petulant 3 yr old.

    “You have people, I believe, who do not understand how hard it is to make change."
    I have been thinking about this part a lot.
    For all the accusations flying around about who is a liar and who is not, I wonder when Bernie is going to start telling the truth to his fans about what they can REALLY expect if and when he is elected and it's not unicorns farting rainbows. The truth can be hard sometimes but it is time for the Bern to start sharing this truth. We can get those things he talks about but not with some magical revolution but incremental change over years. Incremental change just doesn't have the sexiness of unicorns farting rainbows while being ridden by bernie-bros.

      A friend accused me recently of "moral cowardice" because I said that, even though I like what Sanders has to say, I can't vote for him because Sanders has never said how he would accomplish anything and, based on the Daily News interview, almost certainly can't. When I received a fundraising e-mail a few weeks ago from his campaign about what the world will be like eight years from now, after two Sanders terms, all I needed from it was to tell me how. Sanders is peddling a fantasy, and it's not "moral cowardice" to find Sanders wanting because of that.

    How nice, see? This is the difference between the GOP and the Democrats and how they run their campaigns. Bernie's being a gentleman and letting the lady choose the time and venue. And I thought chivalry was dead. My badz.

      Bernie s doing nohing on the other dates, Hillary is supporting other candidates ( though we all know Bernie isn't fit to do so).
      How nice that the democrat Hillary who is working on more than her campaign is willing to bend for Bernie's non schedule.

      Gentleman? He demanded a date and then whined when 3 dates were tossed back at him. Maybe he is too senile to remember his demands but the rest of us aren't.

    THIS REMINDS ME OF BRISTOL PALIN
    ON DWTS

    Bristol Palin was the worst dancer on DWTS and the only reason she made it to the finals is because of Sarah Palin's dysfunctional redneck followers calling in their votes realizing Bristol Palin was the worst DWTS dancer from day one.

    Instead of calling in dancing votes, now Bernie Sanders dysfunctional followers will be harassing and stalking fellow Americans who are Superdelegates.

    Sanders supporter publishes “hit list” of superdelegates, includes woman’s home address

    A supporter of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has published a “hit list” of Democratic super delegates, which includes the apparent home addresses of several superdelegates, including at least one woman. (Thayer is now claiming that he’s not a Sanders supporter — his Twitter feed suggests otherwise. More on that at the end of this story.)

    2011 All Over Again

    In 2011 Sarah Palin's SarahPac generated her "Democratic Politicians Hit List using her Sarah Palin Infamous Rifle Scope Cross Hair Map" to identify those Democrats who were a threat to Republicans.


    In 2015 there is a Superdelegates Hit List to harass Delegates into voting for Bernie Sanders. Just praying nobody gets shot in the head.

    The Bernie Bros, or the weed wanderers as I call them only care about one thing and that is weed.
    Clearly at this point weed has been left up to states rights. But the BernieBros seem to forget that when they are humping their GF that a pregnancy will happen. Now maybe they will follow the Bernie path and completely ignore and refuse to support their child ( Just like Bernie did to Levi) but someone is going to have to support their leavings. I guess Barstool Palin won't be the only one on Maury.
