I bet the Bern is staying up waaay past his bedtime to read these: Transcripts of Clinton's Wall Street talks released in new Wikileaks dump 1 / 27 Reuters By Emily Stephenson and Luciana Lopez 2 hrs ago © REUTERS/Lucy Nicholson U.S. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton greets people at a campaign office in Seattle U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's full remarks to several Wall Street audiences appeared to become public on Saturday when the controversial transparency group Wikileaks dumped its latest batch of hacked emails. The documents showed comments by Clinton during question-and-answer sessions with Goldman Sachs Chief Executive Lloyd Blankfein and Tim O'Neill, the bank's head of investment management, at three separate events in 2013 in Arizona, New York and South Carolina. Some excerpts of Clinton's speeches had already been released. For more than a week, Wikileaks has published in stages what it says are hacked emails from the account of John Podesta, Clinton's campaign chairman. Clinton's campaign has declined to verify the emails. Goldman Sachs did not immediately provide any comment on Saturday. Clinton came under fire for months for not releasing full details of her paid speeches to big business audiences, as opponents accused her of a cozy relationship with bankers and other members of the U.S. financial system. The excerpts that have surfaced so far angered voters who backed Clinton's former Democratic opponent, U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, who endorsed her after losing the party's primary. Few of these voters are expected to vote for Republican nominee Donald Trump, who is dealing with his own larger scandal after the release last week of a 2005 video in which he bragged about making unwanted sexual advances toward women.... http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...d-in-new-wikileaks-dump/ar-AAiZZ2I?li=BBnb7Kz
The Bern made his choice. He sold out. The only consideration I can muster up is that, considering who he is dealing with, a cartel type offer was probably made. Silver or lead.
Bernie Sanders voters look for a path forward in New Hampshire By Cassie Spodak, CNN Updated 10:01 AM ET, Fri October 21, 2016 Bernie Sanders voters look for a path forward 03:25 Story highlights Bernie Sanders won more votes than any candidate in the history of the state's primary Those voters are still trying to heal the divides with Hillary Clinton's campaign (CNN)For supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign, many are asking themselves this fall, "Are you selling out if you support Hillary Clinton?" That's the conversation progressive radio show host Arnie Arnesen said she's been having with many New Hampshire voters over the last couple months, with less than three weeks to go until the presidential election. "Because they have a sense of ownership, they personally lost. It wasn't their candidate that lost. They lost, too," Arnesen said of the coalition of voters that brought Sanders 1,893 delegates, not enough to clinch the party's nomination. In New Hampshire the loss was even more pronounced. Sanders won more votes than any candidate in the history of the state's primary and beat Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton by a huge margin of 22 percentage points. Sanders trounced Clinton in New Hampshire with millennials as well as Independents, and winning over both groups will be a test of Clinton's strength as the standard bearer of her party... who's winning? cnn/orc cnn poll of polls 47% Clinton 42% Trump 7% Johnson 2% Stein CNN/ORC poll, September 28 – October 2, 2016, sampling error: +/- 3 percentage points, sample: 1,213 likely voters http://www.cnn.com/2016/10/21/politics/bernie-sanders-nh-voters-general-election/index.html
The Washington Post was particularly nasty against the Bern. Unfortunately, it is not so easy to explain in detail deep questions about remedies to a system that is entrenched in all sorts of laws to protect it, and therefore how to dismantle it. No one knows how to fix Global Warming either from a legal standpoint. You know there is a problem, and as President you assign an expert task force to make law to give the stakeholders the right incentives. You don't see the WP harping on exact details on GW the way they did with the Bern and the banks. They were (are?) hugely biased against him. According to the WP, Bernie Sanders had to be an expert in issues he saw as big problematical issues. He was held to a standard that no other presidential candidate in US history has been held to: http://americablog.com/2016/04/bernie-sanders-simply-isnt-ready-president.html
This deal doesn't sit well with the Bern at all. Good luck getting it passed. Bernie Sanders is trying to single handedly kill AT&T’s $85 billion purchase of Time Warner Everett Rosenfeld | @Ev_Rosenfeld 13 Mins AgoCNBC.com 36 COMMENTS Bernie Sanders called on the Justice Department Wednesday to block the $85 billion AT&T-Time Warner merger. The Vermont politician warned in a letter to the department's antitrust division that the combination could result in a "gross concentration of power" in news media, and suggested that blocking the deal would help "preserve our democratic discourse and open competitive markets for speech and commerce." "This proposed merger is just the latest effort to shrink our media landscape, stifle competition and diversity of content, and provide consumers with less while charging them more," Sanders said.

The DNC is a swamp of corruption. I am beginning to believe that if all were left to the people, the Bern would have been much closer in the Primaries, and maybe even won.

Sanders Voters Get Behind Clinton With Varied Levels of Enthusiasm Sanders’ words of support for the Democratic nominee are helping ease his backers’ disappointment. Arit John aritbenie November 7, 2016 — 4:00 AM CST Share on FacebookShare on Twitter Voting for Hillary Clinton on Saturday was a lot easier for Nathaniel Pleasants, a 34-year-old who caucused for Bernie Sanders during the Iowa nominating contest in February, than he thought it would be. “I was a little unsure of what I wanted to do, but it did assure me to hear Bernie talk and to see all the similarities,” the retail worker said after attending a Sanders rally for Clinton in Ames on Saturday. It was in the Hawkeye State many months ago where Sanders’ presidential campaign, despite losing the state’s caucuses by less than half a percentage point, gained a new level of national credibility. And it’s one of several states where Clinton will need the votes of Sanders’ 13 million primary supporters to defeat Republican Donald Trump on Election Day. Whether with enthusiasm or resignation it appears a significant number have elected to do just that. In interviews, Sanders supporters in Iowa said they’re responding to his backing of his past rival as well their combined efforts to shape the Democratic Party platform and her policies on college costs and health care. Though they expect they will have to push Clinton on issues when she’s in office, they're willing to help put her there. “I have some concerns but my main concern right now is getting her in the White House,” said Hannah Day, a 20-year-old biochemistry major at the University of Iowa who caucused for and donated to Sanders’ campaign and now supports Clinton. “Then I can deal with the rest of it when the time comes: signing petitions, doing my best as a citizen to keep her accountable for what she said she was gonna do.” A Shaky Alliance ... http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/a...hind-clinton-with-varied-levels-of-enthusiasm
