And just maybe she was a bit cranky that the kids were being used as pawns to promote a possibly unworkable plan? Amazing how one is now an intern lol. The whole encounter left a bad taste from both sides​
Diane Feinstein is a Republican from another era.

Then you vote Trump by omission, sounds like a whole lot of butt hurt to me :(
The democratic party is the inauthentic opposition. Their apparatchiks would rather lose to Trump than see Bernie Sanders in power, because he'd put a stop to their cozy little gravy train.

I don't think you, nor most Americans for that matter (I know you're a Canuck), see just how close we are to catastrophe. Stumbling through another mediocre presidency isn't going to work this time.

bernie sanders sucks

shut the fuck up about bernie
You must be terrified.

Tell us again about the brilliant solutions put forth by Kamala Harris?

You're a shrieking buffoon who, in your rabid partisanship, has lost sight of the goal of turning things around before the ship of state runs aground.

Did CNN Ambush Bernie Sanders With Political Operatives Disguised As Everyday People?

Thu, 02/28/2019 - 13:25

CNN has been accused of ambushing Bernie Sanders and tricking viewers by passing off Democratic political operatives as everyday people during a Monday evening town hall as part of his campaign for the 2020 election. Internet sleuths looked into the backgrounds of those asking Sanders various questions - most of which could be considered fair game to ask a presidential candidate, only to find that there was more than meets the eye as noted by Paste Magazine.

For example, Sanders was asked a tough question about allegations of sexual harassment on his 2016 campaign by "American University Student" Shadi Nasab. What CNN didn't mention is that she's also an intern for a large D.C. lobbying firm, Cassidy & Associates.


Another question came from Tara Ebersole, a humble "Former Biology Professor" according to CNN. She's also the chair of the Baltimore County Democratic Party according to her LinkedIn page. What's more, Ebersole's husband is a Maryland state delegate, and was on Hillary Clinton's leadership council in 2016.



Abena McAllister was labeled by CNN as a "Mother of Two," but failed to mention that she's also the Charles County Democratic Central Committee Chair.



"Maryland Voter" Michelle Gregory is yet another 'everyday person' who turns out to be politically active as the chair of the Lower Shore Progressive Caucus.



There are several more examples - as nearly everyone who asked Bernie a question is linked to some type of Democratic activism.

One explanation for why so many political operatives asked Bernie question might be that political activists are more likely to choose to participate in a Bernie Sanders town hall. That said, CNN made it appear as though these were 'everyday voters' - not people people involved in politics themselves.

As Paste's Jacob Weindling reports, most of the questions weren't unfair.

I watched the entire town hall last night, and none of the questions asked by these people resonated as unfair to me. There were a couple asked by other people that were based on wrong assumptions (like the myth that Bernie’s only support comes from young white dudes), but it’s hard to blame individuals for coming to wrong conclusions like that when the Democratic Party’s infrastructure has invested so much time and energy gaslighting the public into thinking that way.

...

But back to my main point: really the only problem in all this is that because CNN did not disclose many of these questioners’ ties to politics, one cannot help wonder why. The famed Bobby Knight quote of “stupid loses more games than smart wins” is Occam’s Razor here, as Wolf Blitzer isn’t exactly universally respected and we have documented CNN’s struggles with the truth before, but the nefarious angle is the elephant in that Washington D.C. room. -Paste Magazine

As Weindling notes - "being politically-involved doesn't disqualify these folks from asking questions, and it doesn't automatically make their motivations disingenuous," however "had CNN been more accurate in describing the questioners, I wouldn't be writing this column."

No.

Respond to your own bullshit.

You don't call the tunes here, clown shoes.

Your only qualification is that you're louder and ruder than anyone else.

That makes you the local Trump.

That's exactly how I feel about voting for anyone but Bernie.
sure if Bernie was in the race and still running. To write in a person name who themselves are voting for someone else is ...well rather stupid and a waste of a vote. I would rather assure that the person with SOME ideas similar to mine wins.

Example: Bernie loses in the primary. He then says "OK I lost but we most not let Trump win. Vote Dem because I will be with her".
The Bernie Cult are upset that Bernie lost AGAIN...and demands Bernie ( who still has no way of fucking winning ). The cult even has a nice slogan. "Give us Bernie or we give you ….". Bernie sees this and tries to stop it.
Bernie reminding them that he is out of the race, so do the right thing and how he has made the Dem come more to his side.
The Cult is wayyyyy to far gone and only demands Bernie to Bernie. .The end results are Bernie Cult voters write in Bernie or decide to not vote, which in turn helps Trump with the win. Confused why they are not getting a higher wages, heath care for all, or anything that helps the middle case or poor. Bernie Baby Cult is not very smart.

After this you ask yourself. When ADULT people make the same mistake are they stupid or stubborn ?

Tell me how your writing in a non candidate helps in any way. Your right I am Canadian so I really have no skin in the game other than seeing what Trump has done to the credibility of your nation, the last thing you guys need is him in again. If your not careful that’s exactly what’s gonna happen and you will be part of it all due to mostly what I see is butt hurt. Also you still didn’t answer my actual question lol.

So, what about those allegations of sexual harassment? Why did Bernie let it happen?
