When a candidate feels he has nothing left to lose, they go all out negative. Bernie isn't even trying to make his case anymore. He's just trying to tear down everybody else. Bernie has always been the kind of person who bites a hand offered in friendship but his recent BS is beyond his usual nasty self:
NOT A 'FIND-A-FRIEND' CONTEST: BERNIE SANDERS' CAMP SOUNDS OFF OVER 2020 CANDIDATES TRYING TO BE APPROACHABLE
Vermont senator and 2020 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has taken a new approach to his campaign — going negative.
Sanders — once a frontrunner in the election, polling behind only former Vice President Biden — has slipped in the polls since the first Democratic primary debate in late June. He's now tied with Senator Kamala Harris in third place with 13 percent of the vote. The Independent senator has also had trouble raising money, bringing in $18 million in Q2 and pacing behind fellow candidates Pete Buttigieg, Biden and Elizabeth Warren.
Jeff Weaver, Bernie Sanders' closest adviser, derided others in the Democratic field, saying in an interview with The New York Times, that the other candidates are trying too hard to be "personable" and that Sanders is not running for president to be a "friend."
"Let's be clear about this point: If somebody wants a candidate who is going to make health care a right, raise wages, deal with climate change, deal with immigration reform and criminal justice reform, Bernie Sanders is your candidate," said Weaver in the interview. "If you want somebody who's going to talk about their cooking, their dog, their wardrobe, travel habits, or favorite books, Bernie Sanders is not your candidate."
Weaver continued that "This is not a popularity contest or a find-a-friend contest."
This isn't the only example of Benie's negative push. Recently, the asshole tore at Warren's success by claiming it was only because people wanted a woman to win. Now he's complaining about other candidates showing voters a softer side of themselves. It's not as if Warren, Harris and others haven't been putting forward ideas and telling voters what they stand for too. Sanders is basically saying people should vote for him because he's the only candidate with the charm and approach-ability of Richard Nixon. Maybe he should find a dog like Tricky Dick did with Checkers.
Totally agree that he should run as an independent. He's not good at working with others. He should start criticizing people for working with others to get things done. "Look at me, I'm all alone and haven't gotten anything done because nobody can stand to work with me. This means I'm pure. So vote for Bernie, Independent, For President."
